Ajit Kumar - This blind man fought for 3 yrs to become an IAS officer . :- Professor-turned-IAS aspirant Ajit Kumar fought a 3-year battle to claim his rightful place in the Civil Services. This is his story.
Ajit lost his vision completely at the tender age of five after suffering from acute diarrhoea. But it was not my biggest challenge," shares Ajit Kumar Yadav, who recently received appointment letter for the Indian Administrative Services (IAS).
"After clearing the Civil Service Exam, rank of 208 among 791
I kept waiting for a letter of induction into the prestigious IAS. Instead, I was offered a post in the Indian Railways Personnel Service. I fought back and filed a case against the discrimination in the central administrative tribunal (CAT). CAT ruled in my favour in 2010. But still I did not get an appointment letter," said Yadav.
However, he didn't get disappointed and kept on fighting for justice and finally at the intervention of the National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled (NPRD), CPM MP Brinda Karat and the Prime Minister, seven of the nine visually impaired candidates received their appointment letters.
