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.
