Kanchan ----- Original Message ----- From: National Platform For The Rights of the Disabled (NPRD) To: murali.alat...@gmail.com Sent: Friday, March 04, 2011 10:48 AM Subject: Induction of Visually Impaired into IAS Dear Friends Given below is the written reply to questions posed by CPI(M) Rajya Sabha MP to the Prime Minister on the induction of Visually Impaired Candidates in IAS. Two of the candidates, Ajit Kumar Singh and Ashish Singh Thakur had secured a directive from the Central Administrative Tribunal asking the Government of India to induct them. The government has however till date not implemented the order. In the meanwhile the National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled had represented the issue before the PMO. It first wrote a letter to the PM and then accompanied these two aspirants to the Principal Secretary to the PM Shri T K A Nair. Despite assurances, nothing tangible has come out. Brinda Karat had also written to the PM and also met Shri Nair in this connection. She had also raised this issue during a meeting with Shri V Narayanasamy. It is against this background that these questions were placed for answer in the Rajya Sabha. Rajya Sabha Unstarred Question No. 829 (To Be Answered on 03.03.2011) Induction of Visually Impaired Candidates in IAS 829. Shrimati Brinda Karat Will the Prime Minister be pleased to state: a) Whether visually impaired candidates are eligible for induction into the Indian Administrative Service? b) Whether because of denial of their claims, the Central Administrative Tribunal had to intervene and order their induction? c) Whether the government has taken any steps to implement the CAT decision? d) Whether there are any more deserving disabled candidates for induction into IAS? ANSWER Minister of State in the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs; Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of state in the Prime Minister's office. (Shri V Narayanasamy) (a): Civil Services Examination (CSE) Rules, 2010 inter-alia, provide that partially blind candidates are eligible for appointment into IAS. (b) to (d): The Orders of the CAT Principal Bench in various OAs are under consideration in consultation with Department of Legal Affairs. Note: It is evident that that in the light of the adverse comments from the CAT and earlier orders from courts, the rules have been revised in 2010 debarring fully blind persons for induction into IAS.
