Delhi HC Ordered SSC to Make the Recruitment Portal Accessible for Visually Impaired.jpg

The High Court of Delhi has asked the Staff Selection Commission (SSC) to make the online job portal simple to use for applicants who cannot see properly. The High Court declared that the current system, such as uploading live photos, is difficult for candidates who cannot see properly and those who are blind. The Delhi High Court has directed the SSC to add the features that can help such students apply easily and fairly without any problem or difficulty. This rule comes under the Disabilities Act, 2016, and it must be followed for blind students. This decision taken by the Delhi High Court may help the disabled students so that they can also apply for government jobs. It also shows the importance of digital systems and how it can solve the problems. The message of the Delhi High Court is clear that everyone in this country deserves a fair opportunity, and online recruitment portals must be designed so that no one is left behind in any field.
