Hi All!
In my views, at present time, to lodge opposition of any benefit by same
category under any type of reservation policy in the name of equality looks
very easy. But, this type of opposition should be made by those persons, who
have never taken any benefit in anywhere from anyone of our society in the
shape of family support as special care in their childhood, Govt or other
type support from any institution being a VH person.
As per my personal experience in my whole life, some of our VH friends, who
have got high position and some privileges in our society after taking
benefits of reservation, later, they have tried to restrict to other persons
of their category for taking the same facilities and privileges on same
ground, even though they are discriminating with their juniors very badly as
I found in a blind school of Begumpet, Hyderabad during my first and last
visit as a chess player between 30th May-3rd June 2011, in where very poor
standard of food and lodging facilities are intentionally being given to VH
students by the management. there are several these type of examples are
available in different parts of our India.
Finally, as per my personal conclusion on bases of some my good and bitter
experiences in personal life, I have found:
1. None of single general person is available in this world, who has never
taken any single benefit of any type of long time or short time reservation
facility like: reservation in train or plane or anywhere and the scope of
reservation is being increased and made easier day by day through Online
reservation facility.
2. Invention of special equipments and their using are also part of the
reservation and against the spirit of equality.
3. to provide internet banking and Online reservation facilities are against
of equality because these facilities can not be utilized by all persons of
our country at present time.
4. When we are not able to end the various facilities, which are presently
being given to minorities and other backward classes by Central and
different state governments for ending inequality and the same are not being
given to our VH category, then how can we protest of any facility in the
name of equality, which is presently being given to our VH friends by any
state Govt?
_Now, Therefore, I would like to appeal to all group members, please not to
use this group / forum to criticize or to protest any facility, which is
being given by any Govt, in the name of equality because especially in
India, actual position of our VH persons are very below in society and
especially we the visually impaired persons have unwillingly and necessarily
to adjust according to those current available systems, which have been
created by normal sighted persons for their own use as per their own
requirements. The Percentage of our success persons are very little in this
area because in practically, very limited sources have been provided to very
few of us.
Regards,
Rakesh.

Subject: Re: [AI] Request forCirculars regarding promotions
Hello Mr. Vamsi Harish and other friends,
I appriciate you for encouraging the visually impaired employees to
compete with their normal couner parts. My intention of writing this
mail is to give you the clear picture on procedure of conducting
departmental tests in Andhra Pradesh and seeking your valuable
guidance to resolve the problem. Teachers and other state Government
employees should clear departmental tests with books to be promoted to
the next cadre. In other words, the APPSC conducts departmental exams
in open book system. 8 to 12 books containing thousands of pages are
proscribed for each test. No book is available in any accessible
format including Braille. Laptops, CD players, Mp3 players and cell
phones are prohibited in the examination hall. More over the PSC
provides substandard scribes for writing the exam. Only 30 minutes
extra time will be given for each paper. The scribe has to read the
question paper, read the content in the text books, edit the content
and copy the content in to the answer paper with in the stipulated
time frame. Passing or failing in the exam purely depends on the
performance and copying ability of the scribe. The role of the
candidate and preparation is nominal in the exam hall. Moreover,
candidates who presented well without copying the books could not
yield any success. Copying right material and more material from the
proscribed text books can yield very good results in the exams. All
employees in the state who attain 45 years are exempted from passing
the departmental tests for availing one time promotion.
In this situation NGOs working for the welfare of visually impaired
made several representations to design alternative methodology for
conducting departmental tests for employees with visual disability for
two decades. The Government has failed to design alternative
methodology for conducting of departmental tests and recognizing
special needs of persons with visual disability. As a result some of
the eligible visually impaired employees denied promotions not having
the ability of copying the materials.
The failure mechanism of the Government made the visually impaired
employees request the Government to exempt them from passing the test
until they prepare books in Braille or any other accessible format.
After receiving several demands, The Government of AP realized the
accessibility issue and agreed to promote the employees without
passing the departmental test and compel them clear the test within
five years after attaining the next cadre.
Now please tell me:
1. Do you want the visually impaired employees deny promotions due to
not having the ability of copying the materials?
2. Do you advice the visually impaired to accept their juniors as
their superiors?
3. Is it the problem of in ability or accessibility?
4. Do you still consider the partial exemption from passing the test
as a charity?
5. Do you think 45 years crossed exempted employee gets more respect,
exempted visually impaired employees below 45 years less respect in
the next cadre?
6. Do you think all state government VI employees aware of access
technology to over come from the problem?
7. Do you oppose reservations for persons with disabilities in the
name of equality?
8. What role do you assign to visually impaired employees to overcome
from the problem?
9. Will you please explain the procedure for conducting departmental
tests for VI employees working in Central Government?
Expecting an early solution for this problem from you all.
Happy Ramjan,
Thanks and regards,

The problem is the same in all the exams. We can't ask for exemptions
from exams on the ground that accessible reading material is not
available. Instead we should fight for provision of the same in
accessible format.
I totally endorse Harish sir's views. Exemption for visually
challenged from writing the exams is a very unhealthy practice.

Regarding the comment that u have posted, I contradict that view.
Because promotion for departmental in government sector has a
practical aspect attached.
As it is demonic in nature it’s very difficult for us to have material
in accessible format.
So we must demand an exemption or any support test instead of it.
Its not say we are insufficient are inferior.
There are certain things which are not in our control.
So we must seriously think once before commenting.
