MEASURES TO IMPROVE REPRESENTATION OF PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED ...

...A specially constituted Medical Board with experts in the area will examine physically challenged persons so that fair, consistent reports are available.

To ensure the full utilisation of quota for physically challenged persons, it has been decided to treat the backlogs with respect to physically challenged persons in the same way as backlogs for the SC/ST categories.

Union Public Service Commission will recommend physically challenged candidates after ensuring that they meet the prescribed eligibility criteria in terms of abilities/disabilities for identified services where vacancy exists.

The eligibility for availing reservation against the quota for physically challenged persons would be the same as described in the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995.

Specific eligibility criteria as set by the Government for identified services/posts would have to be met by physically disables candidates.

The implementation of these decisions shall be with prospective effect.
