The controversy surrounding IAS trainee Puja Khedkar's selection, due to alleged misuse of disability and OBC concessions, has reignited debates on reservations for disabled persons in India's UPSC civil services. Officers share their views.

"It’s not the patient’s fault that they got infected. Attacking them and the doctors and nurses who treat them is like committing a sin. After all, we are all human, and it’s our collective responsibility to offer assistance."

Incredibly, this IAS officer went all the way to the Supreme Court to prove his disability did not hamper his dedication!
