Govt employees who have differently-abled children to take care of will be
exempted from routine transfers and they will not be asked to take voluntary
retirement on refusing such postings.
NEW DELHI: Government employees who have differently-abled children to take
care of will be exempted from routine transfers and they will not be asked to
take voluntary retirement on refusing such postings, the Centre has said.
A government employee with a disabled child serves as the main caregiver and
any displacement of such employee will have a bearing on the systemic
rehabilitation of the child since the new environment or set-up could prove to
be a hindrance for the rehabilitation process, it said.
The word 'disabled' includes blindness or low vision, hearing impairment,
locomotor disability or cerebral palsy, leprosy, mental retardation, mental
illness and multiple disabilities, a department of personnel and training
(DoPT) order said.
"Upbringing and rehabilitation of disabled child require financial support.
Making the government employee to choose voluntary retirement on the pretext of
routine transfer or rotation transfer would have adverse impact on the
rehabilitation process of the disabled child," DoPT said in its directive to
all central ministries and departments. "The support system (for
rehabilitation) comprises preferred linguistic zone, school or academic level,
administration, neighbours, tutors or special educators, friends, medical care
including hospitals and therapists," it said.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Posting of Government employees who have differently abled dependents --
reg.
There has been demand that a Government employee who is a care giver of the
disabled child may not have to suffer due to displacement by means of routine
transfer/rotational transfers. This demand has been made on the ground that a
Government employee raises a kind of support system for his/her disabled child
over a period of time in the locality where he/she resides which helps them in
the rehabilitation.
2. The matter has been examined. Rehabilitation is a process aimed at enabling
persons with disabilities to reach and maintain their optimal physical,
sensory, intellectual, and psychiatric or a social functional level. The
support system comprises of preferred linguistic zone, school/academic level,
administration, neighbours, tutors/special educators, friends, medical care
including hospitals, therapists and doctors, etc. Thus, rehabilitation is a
continuous process and creation of such support system takes years together.
3. Considering that the Government employee.who has disabled child serve as the
main care giver of such child, any displacement of such Government employee
will have a bearing on the systemic rehabilitation of the disabled child since
the new environment/set up could prove to be a hindrance for the rehabilitation
process of the child. Therefore, a Government servant who is also a care giver
of disabled child may be exempted from the routine exercise of
transfer/rotational transfer subject to the administrative constraints. The
word 'disabled' includes (i) blindness or low vision (ii) hearing impairment
(iii) locomotor disability or Cerebral Palsy (iv) leprosy cured (v) mental
retardation (vi) mental illness and (vii) multiple disabilities.
4. Upbringing and rehabilitation of disabled child requires financial support.
Making the Government employee to choose voluntary retirement on the pretext of
routine transfer/rotation transfer would have adverse impact on the
rehabilitation process of the disabled child.
5. This issues with the approval of MoS(PP).
6. All the Ministries/Departments, etc. are requested to bring these
instructions to the notice of all concerned under their control.
