UPSC Coverage: Media Coverage on Pleas for Blind and Disabled Quotas Across English and Hindi Press (11 September 2025)

Key takeaways

• On 11 September 2025, multiple news outlets reported a petition seeking a response from UPSC regarding a proposed quota for blind candidates. The coverage appeared in both English and Hindi editions, with the English publication The Morning and the Hindi publications Amar Ujala and Dainik Jagran featuring the story. The reported placements indicate these items appeared on page 3 in several editions, and a related Hindi report was listed with a page reference of 6 in Dainik Jagran. This collection of clippings underscores ongoing media attention to accessibility and fair representation in competitive examinations.


• A second set of reports focused on a demand for a 1% reservation for blind individuals, again covered across English and Hindi outlets (The Morning, Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran). The material notes similar publication details, with page references indicating prominent placement in the respective editions (primarily page 3 for the English edition and page 3 or 6 for the Hindi editions). Taken together, these clippings reflect a sustained media focus on whether and how quotas for disabled candidates should be implemented within UPSC processes.


• The compilation also includes links to subsequent online reports from other outlets (New Indian Express, Telegraph India, The Print) highlighting Delhi High Court actions related to pleas by candidates with low vision. These sources indicate the court’s involvement in urging UPSC and the central government to respond to arguments about quota access, illustrating cross-media and cross-edition engagement with the issue. The presence of these online references in the collection suggests a broader, ongoing dialogue about disability inclusion in government examinations.
