Employment of Divyang Persons in Service Organisations: Challenges and Pathways in Rajasthan

Abstract

Abstract

 Organisations are trying to establish truly inclusive HR practices. In this direction, it is important that they should have equal employment opportunities and they should welcome Divyang persons. Also, like other persons, I studied 50 HR leaders in Rajasthan to understand their perspective about the employment of Divyang persons. Based on structured interviews and discussions, it was found that there is still a lack of a policy framework and required support for the Divyang persons. It was observed that most of the organisations are not very keen on moving forward with the employment of Divyang persons. Based on an introduction, it was realised that the lead should come from the government, and the government should come forward for the establishment of skill development and skill validation centres for Divyang persons so they can get very high-level skills training and internships so that they are capable of handling required work. This research study has identified certain policies and that there are opportunities for inclusive organisational practices which would help in creating inclusive organisations in the future.
