Subject: Scribes for persons with writing disability: Government
invites comments

Dear Reader,
The Central Government has invited comments on draft guidelines
permitting scribes for persons with disabilities who have difficulty in
reading and writing for academic and professional examinations, even if
they do not meet the 40% threshold for issuance of a disability
certificate. This was pursuant to the directions of the Supreme Court in
the landmark case of Vikash Kumar vs. Govt. of India, argued by the
Disability Law Initiative, in which it was held that the provision of a
scribe came within the scope of reasonable accommodation required under
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016.
Click here for the May 11 tweet of the Department of Disability Affairs
linking to the draft guidelines.

email id for submission of comments by June 1 is kvs.ra...@nic.in.
