Section 34 of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities(RPwD) Act 2017 mandates appropriate governments to reserve a minimum of 4% of all employment vacancies in all government establishments for persons with benchmark disabilities (PwBMD).
Within this 4%, there is further subdivision.
1% is for PwBMD due to visual impairment described as category "a".
1% is for PwBMD due to hearing impairment described as category "b".
1% is for PwBMD with locomotor difficulties.
1% is for a subgroup of PwBMD described as categories "d" and "e".
CATEGORY "d": This group consists of PwBMD due to Mental illnesses, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Specific Learning Disability (SLD) and Intellectual disability (ID), previously called Mental retardation.
CATEGORY "e": This category consists of PwBMD with more than one disability, also described as persons with multiple disabilities, including any of the above categories a,b,c and d.
This is only an attempt to disseminate information about employment vacancies for PwBMD to many as advertised in the Employment News Weekly, a periodical published by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.
