Friends One of our friends Mr. Krishnamurthy has drafted the representation for reservation in promotion to be submitted to the government of India. I am pasting the matter below and urge you all to send it to the below mentioned IDs at the earliest by making necessary changes like your name place etc. This is urgent as the cabinet committee is meeting for considering issues of reservation in promotion to SC and ST, and we may begin our battle for similar reservation in promotion to us.
Please send it to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>, [email protected] [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]%[email protected]>, [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Following is the text of the representation: Respected Madam / Sir Sub : Reservation in promotion for Persons with Disabilities We understand that the cabinet is going to meet on 21.8.12, to discuss on the issue of reservation in promotion for SC/ST. In this connection we would like to bring to your kind attention the long pending issue of extending reservation in promotion to Persons With disabilities. Though the Persons With Disabilities Act 1995, upholds equal opportunities and full participation for persons with disabilities and the section 47(2) of the Act specifically speaks non discrimination in promotion for Physically Challenged persons, in real life it is not happening. Though specified categories of persons with disabilities do get appointment sometimes under 3% reservation in recruitment under section 33 of the above cited enactment, most of the times, their carrier path ends there itself. Few of them are ever elevated to little higher level. An unwritten discrimination is followed by all the establishments. This is strongly proved by the following table. Table 11.13 : Representation in Identified posts for Persons with Disabilities in Various Ministries of Govt. of India in 2006 (As on 01.01.2006) Group of No. of Posts in No. of posts held % age of posts hold by Post the identified by the disabled the disabled persons Category persons w.r.t. identified posts A 57392 200 0.0034 B 107865 511 0.0047 C 988851 4927 0.0498 D 312199 4283 0.0137 Total 1466307 9921 0.0068 Note : Information refers to 47 Ministries/ Departments of Government of India Source : Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India, New Delhi. To prevent this kind of discrimination and ensure the implementation of the Act in true spirit reservation in promotion to the socially as well as economically and physically disadvantaged category - persons with Disability is a must. So , we request you while considering a bill for reservation in promotion to SC/ST category, the reservation in promotion to persons with Disabilities also may be included. The draft legislation to replace the existing persons with disabilities act does contain such a provision for reservation in promotion. We also request you to stick to that provision and not to dilute it in any manner.
