reservations .
5. In the meeting of the Special Committee constituted vide G.O. Ms. No. 4, WDCW
& DW Deptt., dt. 3.4.2007, held on 7-4-2007, it was discussed whether the functional
clarification of disabilities accepted by Government of India for similar jobs, wherever
applicable can be adopted to the posts covered under the ongoing recruitment to Group
– II vacancies as was already done in the case of Group – I services. After thorough
discussion with the departments, the committee agreed to provide reservation as noted
against each of the posts, on the pattern of Group – I Services as detailed in the
Annexure - I.It is noticed that the roaster points for disabled to the various categories of
posts mentioned in the Annexure-II were touched in the 1999 year recruitment, but were
filled by O.C. candidates, in view of exemption. It is decided that the next O.C. vacancy
in the present recruitment be converted into disabled category as detailed against each
of the category of post in the Annexure-II.
6. The Revenue (Commercial Tax / Ser-II / Endowments) , Agriculture and Cooperation
,Industries and Commerce (H&T) and Panchayath Raj and Rural
Development Departments are requested to issue executive orders to implement the
rule of reservation for physically disabled in the present recruitment to Group – II
Services and inform the same to the APPSC for providing 3% reservation to the
physically disabled in the on going recruitment for Group-II Services and later on , issue
amendments to Special Service Rules.
7. After careful examination, Government hereby accept the above
recommendations of the Special Committee.
8. Revenue (Commercial Tax / Excise / Endowments ), Agriculture and
Cooperation, Panchayat Raj and Rural Development, Industries and Commerce
Departments are therefore directed to take necessary action in the matter accordingly.
