Re: [AI] Faking Disability: UPSC
This is great work from Karnataka- verification of the certificates and action against doctors. I hope this clean up continues On another note : UPSC gave 14 VI placements recently. Out of these only 3 had used writers in their exams. Out of the 11 -2 have been found not to be disabled and will or must have by now lost their placements. 2 others on the waiting list will be given jobs. This was found only after a secondeye test. What about the 9 others -Were they really disabled If you are 40% disabled and you don’t need a writer then do you need the reservation? If I go back to my school exams- I must have always been 50% or more disabled I could have done with extra time. I didn’t need a writer nor would I have needed reservation. Is it not time to lobby out of this 40% disablement for entitlements. When you are told that Mr. X who has a 40% disability has come to the examination centre by driving his own car should you not complain to the authorities. I know that this does not cover the people who are hiding their ability and pretending to be disabled.

Nearly one-third of all government school teachers who have taken employment under the disability quota may be either faking disability or in possession of false certificates, K.S. Rajanna, State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, has claimed. Of the estimated 7,000 teachers, at least 2,500 may be using false certificates, he told reporters on Thursday. “The number of teachers employed under the disability quota (three per cent reservations currently apply) is quite small … Even in this, we suspect based on our examinations so far, that many may have used false certificates to get the job,” he said. In the last financial year, the office of the State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities had recommended action against 17 teachers for producing false certificates to get jobs in Chintamani taluk of Chickballapur district, while 2013 saw action against a man who had obtained the post of a school principal in Bidar using forged documents. The Commissioner’s office, which has quasi-judicial powers, will now summon all teachers who have been employed under this quota and start the verification process in phases. “We will also find out the government doctor who has given the medical certificate and take action,” he said.
