3% government jobs for disabled

The supreme court has passed a directive to the Center and all state governments to provide 3% job reservation to disabled persons in their departments, companies, and institutions. A bench headed by Chief Justice P Sathasivam also clarified that the principle of not exceeding more than 50 per cent reservation would not be applicable while granting quota for disabled persons. The apex court directed the authorities to compile the number of vacancies in all their departments to give jobs to disabled persons under three per cent reserved quota within three months.
