Let me the take the recent example of Pooja khedkar, however she tried to fake that she was visually impaired the AIIMS did not gave her clearance of her being visually blind, she was called upon by the AIIMS frequently but was not able to proof that she was eligible to be called a visually impaired. She had money, political power still she was not able to prove. Then she took another illegal route, and we should not discuss those, that will be a digression from the real issue. The point I am trying to make is, just like every cause has a reason, and visual impairment also has reasons, if there is integrity in the medical examination process, I am very optimistic that the fake and ineligible candidates can be easily screened out, given the kinds of diagnostics tools that has been developed in medical. Such things may be happening due to unethical practices done by doctors during issuing the certificate. which is a greater problem in itself,
But what can be done here is, just like UPSC and railways, mandatory re-examination of candidates during document verification by institutes like AIIMS and other similar institutes. Hopefully it will discourage fake candidates from applying in the first place.
