Representation submitted to the Hon'ble Minister for Disabled Welfare on 07/10/2011

To,

The Honorable Minister for the Women, Children, Disabled Welfare,

Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad.

Respected Madam,

            Sub:- Disabled Welfare - Special Allowance for child care for women with

                      Disabilities and Education Allowance for disabled children of Govt.

         employees on the lines of Government of India Requested. – Reg. 

Ref:- No.21011/04/2008-Estt.(Allowance) Government of India Ministry

         of Personnel,  Public Grievances & Pensions Department of Personnel &

         Training Dt. 11/09/2008.

            We invite your kind attention to the reference cited (copy enclosed), wherein the Government of India have provided extra benefits to women employees with disabilities especially when they have young children and children with disability with the following instructions:-

Women with disabilities shall be paid Rs.1000/- per month as Special Allowance for Child care. The allowance shall be payable from the time of the child’s birth till the child is two years old.

(i)                  It shall be payable for a maximum of two children.

(ii)                Disability means a person having a minimum Disability of 40% as elaborated in Ministry of Welfare’s Notification No. 16-18/97-NI.I dated 1.6.2001.

(iii)               The above limit would be automatically raised by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance on the revised pay structure goes up by 50%.

In this regard I submit that the women employees with disabilities working in the govt. of Andhra Pradesh are also facing the same problems and difficulties at the time of when they have young children.

It is pertinent here to submit that the Women employees with disability are subjected to more stress and strain compared with normal women employees, as their life itself burdensome to them and besides they have to play the roles of a mother, employee and house wife.

In view of the above I request you kindly to sanction the special allowance on the lines of government of India to the employees with disabilities when they have young children for which act of kindness the Women employees with disability will be grateful and thankful to you madam.

Dt. 07/10/2011                                                                                      Yours faithfully
                                                                                                                    Sd/-
