ORDER:

The Secretary, Visually ·Handicapped Employees Welfare Association, Kakinada has requested to exempt the Visually disabled employees from passing the departmental tests irrespective whether they have crossed 45 years of age or not, as a special case, if they fulfil the other conditions for promotion to next higher posts. In the reference 2nd read above, it is reported that due to non-availability of books and codes in Braille Script, the visually impaired employees are loosing chances for higher promotions.

2. After careful examination, it is decided to allow 5 (five) years’ time to acquire the qualification of Tests prescribed under the rules by the Visually Handicapped employees who are otherwise qualified for promotion and during this time the books and codes will be prepared and made available in Braille Script instead of totally exempting them from passing Departmental Tests. However, the employees who come up for consideration for promotion shall be promoted to higher categories during this period of 5 (five) years and such employees shall be directed to pass the tests in the promoted post. The preparation of books and codes in Braille Script for passing of tests shall be reviewed after 5 years.

3. Accordingly, the following notification will be published in the Andhra Pradesh Gazettee.
