The participants in the programme included among others, S.K Rungta, General Secretary of the National Federation of the Blind. He thanked the railways for its positive attitude in ensuring full participation of disabled persons in the Indian Railways as per law. He said the railways has done justice to all categories of disabilities by undertaking the present recruitment in accordance with the statutes in a very transparent and fair manner and giving 1% reservation each to each of the four categories of disabilities.
