An exclusive job portal for the differently abled ( >www.jobs4differentlyabled.in ) was recently launched by the Indian Federation of United Nations Associations (IFUNA) in association with Friends Of Differently Abled (FODA).
According to a press release, the portal will provide a link between employers and persons with disabilities who can register with the portal and upload their names along with other particulars.
Americai V. Narayanan, secretary, IFUNA, said talks are being held with various chambers of commerce so they could specify their needs. “Based on their requirements, training can also be provided for persons with disabilities who have the requisite qualification,” he said.
T.A.P. Varadakutti, State president of Tamil Nadu Udavikkaram Association for the Welfare of Differently Abled (TNUAWDA), said those unable to upload their details can get help at Dr. MGR Janaki School in Saligramam on Saturdays from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The portal was launched by State commissioner for the differently abled K. Manivasan. FODA convenor K. Sriram, TNUAWDA general secretary K. Gopinath and Latha Rajendran, principal of Dr. MGR Home and Higher Secondary School for the Speech and Hearing Impaired, were present.
