The situation of one-eyed persons in India
I am Rajkumar. I would like to discuss the situation of one-eyed persons in India. When I was 7 years old, I lost my right eye in an accident at my school. After that, I successfully completed my B.Tech from JNTU Kakinada. I then achieved a rank of 888 in GATE. I attended the NTPC medical test, but I was disqualified. Undeterred, I pursued ASM and ALP positions in the railway board, only to be rejected again. It was at this point that I began to ponder my disability. I applied for a disability certificate at the government eye hospital, where I was informed that I was not eligible due to the 30% reservation for one-eyed candidates. Despite this setback, I remained resilient and delved deeper into the issue.
Observations on disability reservations
I made two observations:
1. In comparison to hearing or orthopedic disabilities, individuals with a single ear or limb enjoy a 70% reservation. I couldn't comprehend why the same provision was not extended to one-eyed persons.
2. Opportunities to prove our abilities are limited, as every examination includes a medical evaluation.
Seeking advice on addressing the government
I am uncertain about how to approach the government to address our situation. I seek advice on initiating this discussion with the authorities. I have resolved to unite individuals facing similar challenges. Please reach out to me at [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons]. Your valuable insights are appreciated.
