LAHORE:
In an attempt to appease foreign and local human rights groups, the government has time and again announced special quotas for civil service positions for differently-abled persons. However, poor implementation and a lack of dedication towards reserving the seats has meant that thousands of aspiring candidates for government jobs remain at fortunes mercy.
President Dr. Arif Alvi on Wednesday underscored the need for implementation of job quota for persons with disabilities (PWDs) by the public and private sectors.
The president, during a follow-up meeting on the framework for the classification of disabilities, held at Aiwan-e-Sadr, said that 10 to 12 percent population of the country was facing various forms of disabilities.
He said that it was the responsibility of the government and private sector to employ PWDs, as per their skills and qualifications to empower them financially.
