2. The matter regarding the scope of ‘disabled’ has been examined in consultation with the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Considering the fact that the “Thalassemia” and “Haemophilia” child requires constant caregiver support and it would be imperative for the Government employees to take care of their “Thalassemia” and “Haemophilia” suffering child on continuous basis, it has been decided to include”Thalassemia” and “Haemophilia” in the term of ‘disabled’ defined in Para 3 of the above mentioned OM dated 06.06.2014.

3. The term of ‘disabled’ defined in Para 3 of the above mentioned OM dated 06.06.2014 is not for getting reservation quota for persons with disabilities.

4. All the Ministries/Departments are requested to bring these instructions to the notice of all concerned under their control.
Encl: As above.
