"In my representation, I have sought exception from job application fees.  5% relaxation in minimum cut-off marks for qualifying in any job examinations, compensatory time of not less than 20 minutes per hour of the examination for PWD candidates, and  separate seating arrangement in various job examination centers preferably on the ground floor for the convenience of PWD candidates," added Mudang.
She further appealed to all the student based organizations to support the cause of the PWD, so that no one is deprived of their rights.
