IEP CHANDIGARH JULY 02, 2022

Haryana Government has decided to grant the benefit of horizontal reservation in promotion @ 4 percent to the Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBDs) covered under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. A letter in this regard has been issued by Chief Secretary to all the Administrative Secretaries, Heads of Departments, Chief Administrators and Managing Directors of Boards, Corporations, Public Undertakings, Divisional Commissioners, Registrar of Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh, Deputy Commissioners and Sub-Divisional Officers (Civil) and Registrar of all Universities of the State.

Divulging more details in this regard an official spokesperson said that as per instructions, the new Act namely, Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 has come into force from April 19, 2017, therefore, these instructions of 4 percent horizontal reservation shall be applicable with effect from April 19, 2017 onwards to the PwBDs who covered under this Act.

In case of promotion, 4 percent of the total number of vacancies in the cadre strength of Group A, B, C and D shall be reserved for PwBDs. Against the posts identified for each disability, one percent each shall be reserved for PwBDs under blindness and low vision, deaf and hard of hearing and locomotor disability including cerebral palsy, leprosy cured, dwarfism, acid attack victims and muscular dystrophy respectively and one percent combined under autism, intellectual disability, specific learning disability and mental illness, multiple disabilities from amongst persons under clauses a to d including deaf-blindness.

Horizontality of Reservation for Persons with Disabilities

The Spokesperson said that reservation for backward classes of citizens (Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes) is called vertical reservation and the reservation for categories such as PwBDs and ex-servicemen is called horizontal reservation.

The Spokesperson said that to illustrate, if in a given year there are two vacancies reserved for the PwBDs and out of two PwBDs promoted, one belongs to Scheduled Caste and the other belongs to Unreserved, the SC candidate with benchmark disability shall be adjusted against the S/caste point in the reservation roster and the Unreserved candidate with benchmark disability against the unreserved point in the relevant roster.

In case none of the vacancies falls on the point reserved for the SCs, the candidate under benchmark disability belonging to SC shall be adjusted in the future against the next available vacancy reserved for SCs.

Since the PwBDs have to be placed in the appropriate category viz. SC/BC/ Unreserved in the roster meant for reservation of SCs/BCs, the application form (in respect of Departmental examination for promotion) for the post should require the candidates applying under the quota reserved for PwBDs to indicate whether they belong to SC/BC or Unreserved category.

Competent Medical Authority to Issue Disability Certificate

The Spokesperson said that the competent medical authority to issue Disability Certificate shall be a Medical Board duly constituted by the State Government. The State Government may constitute Medical Board(s) consisting of at least three members out of which at least one shall be a specialist in the particular field for assessing locomotor, cerebral, visual and hearing disability, as the case may be.

The Spokesperson said that the Medical Board shall, after due examination, give a permanent disability certificate in cases of such permanent disabilities where there are no chances of variation in the degree of disability.

The Medical Board shall indicate the period of validity of the certificate, in cases where there are chances of variation in the degree of disability.

Exemption from Reservation

As per the notification, if any Department considers it necessary to exempt any post/cadre partly or fully from the provision of reservation for persons with disabilities, it may make a reference to the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, Haryana giving full justification for the proposal. The grant of exemption shall be considered by a Committee set up by the Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, Haryana, constituted vide their notification dated August 3, 2011, in consultation with the State Commissioner.

The Gita does not belong to a single religion, it is a book giving the essence of humanity to the whole world: Dr Mohan Bhagwat

Leave a comment

INDIA E POST CHANDIGARH, JULY 1, 2022

Sarsanghchalak of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat said that the answer to the problems of the universe and the solution to the problems of the entire humanity and the knowledge of never-fading happiness is in Shrimad Bhagvad Gita, which is given to every human being. Due to this knowledge of Gita, Kurukshetra, apart from being the land of Mahabharata, will now be known as the land of Gita in the world.

Dr. Mohan Bhagwat was addressing a programme on the current relevance of Bhagvad Gita organized at Gita Gyan Sansthanam at Brahmasarovar, Kurukshetra today. During this, Haryana Governor, Sh. Bandaru Dattatraya, Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal and Gita Manishi Swami Sri Gyananand ji Maharaj and other dignitaries were present.

The Gita does not belong to a single religion, it is a book giving the essence of humanity to the whole world – Dr. Mohan Bhagwat

Dr. Mohan Bhagwat said that The Gita does not belong to a single religion, it is a book giving the essence of humanity to the world. Although the Hindu tradition follows the Gita, but there is no patent of any kind on it, it is Vishwadharma.

He said that as long as the human race exists, the Gita will remain relevant. These things were told on this land 5155 years ago. In this way the knowledge that answers the problems of creation, the solution to the problems of all humanity is in the Gita.

Gita is a life science

He said that the Gita teaches us that whatever work we do in life, do it without any hatred and enmity. The knowledge of discharging one’s duties with a pure mind is in this scripture, that is, Gita is a life science.

He said that today we are seeing that the balance of the universe has deteriorated, it needs to be balanced. Today bigotry is visible everywhere. There is a loss of trust in each other. Wars are being seen in countries, although it is rarely seen in India, because there is Gita in the culture of India. This is happening because the human mind is narrowing. It is limiting itself, and dividing itself into caste and creed and sect. This needs to be removed with the knowledge which we get from Shrimad Bhagvad Gita.

He said that it has been said in the Gita that one should not run from problems, but face them.

The message of living life by Lord Shri Krishna ji is equally relevant today – Sh. Manohar Lal

On this occasion, Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal said that it is a matter of great fortune that the statue of Shri Krishna has been unveiled today. He said that the importance of Gita is in the whole world, there can be no greater book for humanity than this. The message of living life given by Lord Shri Krishna to the whole world at that time is relevant even today.

He said that apart from the huge statue of Shri Krishna, a world-class museum is also being built. About Rs 200 crore will be spent on other works including this museum. Mahabharata and Saraswati civilization will be explained in this museum. The message of Gita will be given through light and show in the museum which will indeed become the center of attraction for the people of the country and the world.

Shri Krishna Utsav will also be celebrated like International Gita Mahotsav- Chief Minister

Sh. Manohar Lal said that the holy land of Jyotiswar has its own importance. Kurukshetra Development Board was formed to develop the city of Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra. 164 places are being renovated under 48 Kos circuit by this Board. Temples and lakes located at these places are being developed. Just as the International Gita Mahotsav is organized in a grand manner, similarly Shri Krishna Utsav will also be celebrated in the coming times.

He said that Kurukshetra is being made a pilgrimage site by the Haryana Government and the Central Government under the Krishna Circuit Scheme, which will become a center of attraction. A temple of Tirupati Balaji is being built in Kurukshetra. ISKCON temple and Akshardham temple have been built. Gita Gyan Sansthanam is also going to become a big institution for spreading the knowledge of Gita. Research work is also going on here. Not only this, the verses of Gita have been included in the syllabus of Class X.

Kurukshetra will be made the Land of Shri Krishna

He said that just as Kurukshetra will be known as the land of Shrimad Bhagvad Gita from now on, similarly Dharmakshetra Kurukshetra will also be made the Land of Shri Krishna, just like people visit Vrindavan, Mathura and Dwarka to imbibe the thoughts of Shri Krishna and the message of his life. Similarly, they will also come to Kurukshetra, because in reality the message of life was given on the holy land of Kurukshetra.

Expressing his gratitude and thanks to Gita sage Swami Shri Gyananand Ji Maharaj, he said that the campaign launched by him to spread the message of Gita is commendable. Before the year 2016, there used to be a small programme on the occasion of Gita Jayanti but gradually the programme started expanding and the International Gita Mahotsav is being organized regularly. The campaign of Gita Jayanti is also being run at the international level. Now there is a demand from abroad also that the programme of Gita Jayanti should be organized in their country as well.

Haryana Home and Health Minister, Sh. Anil Vij, Education and Tourism Minister, Sh. Kanwar Pal, MPs, Sh. Rattan Lal Kataria, Sh. Naib Singh Saini and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
