Rajesh

I haven't been checking my mails recently so I don't seem to have read any
discussion on scribes recently. There are some points I d like to bring to
the attention of the readers from Maharashtra. I think you know these.
 I am quite shocked with your friend's experience.
The Maharashtra SSC board is governed by the Guidelines of the Bombay High
Court dated December 2006. these are the only comprehensive guidelines
anywhere in India. I had said while drafting these guidelines that they
are not the final words on the subject and would be improved upon in
course of time. Anyway nothing further has happened.
However good or bad these guidelines are, they are the only guidelines on
the subject. They are fairly clear and there are hardly any ambiguities
and there should not be arbitarieness.

Nagpur or any village examination and every Examining Authority in
Maharashtra is governed by these guidelines.
1. The Application form must mention the column for scribe.
2. The candidate must be allowed to arrange a scribe. Only if the candidate
cant arrange one then the examining authority must arrange one.
3. We have enough experience with the kinds of scribe provided by
Examining Authority so i don't know why your friend did not write to the
Board and get his scribe approved.

The normal procedure is that once you are visually challenged you write to
the Board via your school and ask for the rules and tell the Examining
Authority much before the exam. You have to submit details about your
scribe.

It has been a common practice in Mumbai to submit the scribes bonafide
certificate, copy of i card etc.
Get the approval letter from the Examining Body and then carry that letter
everyday when you give the exams.

I don't think your friend followed the procedure. I have no idea about the
precedent.
yes I am aware that the Examining authority started by making the mistake
on the application form itself but your friend had to be most cautious.  I
know what a tough world it is for us. I live it every minute. The only
words that come to my mind is that I wasn't promised a rose garden but the
thorns really hurt and unfortunately they keep hurting all our lives.
There is no respite from the pain of being visually challenged and living
in this world  You have no idea about the effort that I make every morning
to psych myself into believing that the day will work out.
Most of the times it does work out . Therefore I do advise everyone on
this group to look hopefully at things and not cynically before things
even become a mess.
Therefore glitches like the one you described do come up. However a little
or maybe lots of effort before the event would have saved him the
heartbreak later.

Recently Vishal Jain had to fight a battle about scribes.  Garima had to
do so in her own way. For Sameer we had to go to court. In another case
that is for Kritika although the issue was much larger we ensured that she
had the benefit of the guidelines. We did not wait for the government to
make a mistake we were proactive.

I always advise Pranay to cover this issue in November on eyeway so that
correspondence can be started early.This has helped many students.

 Try to challenge the exams in Court and in any event lodge your protest
with the authorities.

If you don't have the guidelines let me know I will email it to you. Cant
attach them to accessindia mails.
Kanchan

Subject: [AI] SSC Scribe experience


Friends
We were discussing here last week about the issue and everyone was
assured that in SSC exam of may 16th, SSC will provide the scribe, as it
has done in past.
Now, I want to know the experience of examinees yesterday, whether
suitable scribe was in fact provided, and if at all any scribe was
provided.
Here, in Nagpur a friend of mine had to undergo agony as they flatly
refused to provide any scribe at the eleventh hour and asked him to
arrange his own.
When I reached the venue with scribe for him, the refused to permit him
to write the exam, as the prescribed time of half an hour for reporting
was over!!!

Finally, I had to intervene in my usual cynical way to make them admit
him for the exam!!!!!

Now, whether at other centers similar tales are repeated, or as usual
scribe was provided, suitable or not that's another story...But at least
in Nagpur this injustice was done.
If anybody wants to say that it is a random incident confined to limited
area like Nagpur, then please do not reply to this thread,
The point I am trying to make is that arbitrariness prevails pertaining
to scribe issue.
In fact SSC ad did not mention about scribe, and all of us had assumed
that like previous years, they would do the need full.

All this we are suffering because of lack of any clarity on scribe issue.

Let us, while suggesting for a brand new law, thrash out all these
absurdities...
