Hello All, The situation in India for disabled is very very bad, leave alone few good example but majority is down under. There is complete lack of any thought , no accessible tools , basic working condition for disabled, leave aside salary or promotion , no training. Who will change inherited colonial thinking of people. Disabled category is non homogenous group who are named as obligation, risk and costly proposition.
I am still positive about changing situation as more people are given opportunity.

The company was specialising in development of softwares for banking space, and when I went in for interview, not a single visually challenged person was recruited there. After my qualification as CA in 2006, my experiences at the campus recruitments in ICAI with companies like Goldman Sacks, BPCL, Wipro, Infosys, L&T, etc have been clearly an evidence of the reluctance of the HR managers to recruit visually challenged candidates. Do we mean to say that any VI person who have'nt been able to land up into a job into the corporate world, lacks the requisite skills, its sheer bull shit. Only a handfull of us, have been able to land up into good jobs, and based on that, we can't conclude that no-one else possesses the requisite skills. And also that , we better know how we landed up into those jobs. And about the skill sets, hiring a candidate from IIM or such premier institutes does not require any great boasting up of the companies of having been an inclusive organisation, as it constitutes only a meagre percentage, and also that they would anyways get placed due to their knowledge and networking. Barring a few on this list itself, I don't think there are many of us who are highly Tech savy or people who have total expertees in their respective domains. For that matter, any fresher or even experienced persons may necessarily not be having indepth understanding of the industry as a whole. If our education systems are non-inclusive, then its not fair to blame the individual for not possessing good linguistic skills, or the so called soft skills, most of the schools being regional in nature, even in relatively bigger cities. Let us not generalise our ideas on the basis of a very small sample, where the ground reality is completely different. May be that, the so called HR managers and the top management, comprising of the best brains from B-schools, lack the skill sets in valuation, which they think they are good at. Its all about finding value, and if someone is not able to find any value in something, then its his/her incompetence as well as the product itself. If I have been created differently, then why I should be equated with my non-peers and rated on the same scale. Competence/incompetence is highly relative.
