About 150 persons with disabilities gathered at the Directorate of Local Bodies office in Jaipur on Tuesday to protest the mandatory one-year experience certificate required for sanitation worker recruitment. DLB secretary Ravi Jain met them outside and assured them the issue would be examined.
No immediate changes can be made because the model code of conduct is in force due to civic elections. The application deadline is September 28. A meeting after September 25 may discuss extending the deadline. Viklang Jan Kranti Sena state chief Satendra Singh Rathore said a mass protest will be held if the process is not eased.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Rajasthan government introduced the one-year experience rule in 2022 to ensure only trained workers apply for sanitation jobs. But many disabled applicants, especially in rural areas, lack formal employment records to prove experience. The model code of conduct, triggered by civic polls, bars policy changes until the election process ends. The DLB can extend the deadline after September 25 without violating the code. If the deadline stays, thousands of disabled candidates may be locked out of 3,000 sanitation vacancies. The next signal is the September 25 meeting.
