Later I did basic computer course. I tried a lot to get government job but despite having good qualification and disability criteria I was never considered," said
He further said that he has two children and has to spend a lot on their upbringing. My wife Shullu is also educated and has completed her 12th but she also didn't get government a job. Although there is reservation for disabled persons but we have been deprived of this benefit," he said further adding that for sustenance of life he has been working at the Fruit Shop of his brother.
"When I was struggling to get some job, I came to know that there is special quota for disabled person in which JDA shop is allotted to the person and I tried a lot to get shop but department didn't help me. I am continuously requesting that either I should be given government job or a JDA shop should be allotted to me so that I run my life easily," Neeraj Gupta said. |
