Mind you, IDBI is the bank where Mr. K. Ramakrishna a totally blind person had
rose up to general manager.
I am reminded of my high school which refused admission to a totally blind girl
immediately after I had passed out in matriculation from there standing second
in general merit list of the region.
Refusal was on the ground that she would not be able to write her notebooks by
herself........
Fantastic.
On a related note, I do not find working draft of new disability law up to the
mark and worth raising a whole moment to have new statute in place.......
More on it later......

Subject: Axe falls on totally blind in financial sector recruitment
Friends
What I had long apprehended has come to pass.
Now, it seems totally blind would not get job even in financial sector.
a corrigendum and a recently issued advertisement of IDBI and a notification
of LIC clearly stipulate that only low vision candidates, or those visually
impaired having impairment between 40 and 70% may apply.
They cite government guidelines in their support.
I am afraid list of identified jobs does not identify bank officers/clerks jobs
for blind, but does so for Low vision.
This is despite technology and all.
So, the only recourse available is to compel the government immediately to
identify these jobs for blind also.
Anyway, identification is due in 2010.
Don't know whether government would wait for new law which does away with
identification altogether.
Friends, come up with suggestions and activities to claim back our work.
With thanks and regards

About the world's despair;
But to make bad matters worse
I found God wasn't there."
