OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Posting of Government employees who have differently abled dependents - reg.
There has been demand that a Government employee who is a care giver of
the disabled child may not have to suffer due to displacement by means
of routine transfer/rotational transfers. This demand has been made on
the ground that a Government employee raises a kind of support system
for his/her disabled child over a
period of time in the locality where he/she resides which helps them in the rehabilitation.
2. The matter has been examined. Rehabilitation is a process aimed at
enabling persons with disabilities to reach and maintain their optimal
physical, sensory, intellectual, and psychiatric or a social functional
level. The support system comprises of preferred linguistic zone,
school/academic level, administration, neighbours, tutors/special
educators, friends, medical care including hospitals, therapists and
doctors, etc. Thus, rehabilitation is a continuous process and creation
of such support system takes years together.
3. Considering that the Government employee.who has disabled child serve
as the main care giver of such child, any displacement of such
Government employee will have a bearing on the systemic rehabilitation
of the disabled child since the new environment/set up could prove to be
a hindrance for the rehabilitation process of the child. Therefore, a
Government servant who is also a care giver of disabled child may be
exempted from the routine exercise of transfer/rotational transfer
subject to the administrative constraints.

4. Upbringing and rehabilitation of disabled child requires financial
support. Making the Government employee to choose voluntary retirement
on the pretext of routine transfer/rotation transfer would have adverse
impact on the rehabilitation process of the disabled child.
5. This issues with the approval of MoS(PP).
6. All the Ministries/Departments, etc. are requested to bring these
instructions to the notice of all concerned under their control.
