Standing together for Telangana's differently abled government employees.
We resolve workplace grievances, share welfare scheme updates, and represent differently abled employees across every department in the state.
Divyang Employees Grievance Day
Every first and third Wednesday of the month, the association coordinates directly with departmental officers to resolve problems raised by differently abled employees across the state. Members are encouraged to bring their concerns to these sessions.
What we do
Grievance resolution
We take up individual and department-level issues raised by members and follow up with the concerned officials until they're resolved.
Welfare scheme updates
We share information on entitlements, concessions and welfare schemes available to differently abled employees, and help members apply.
Representation
Our office bearers liaise with the Commissionerate for the Welfare of Persons with Disabilities and other departments on members' behalf.
About the Association
The Differently Abled Employees Welfare Association, Telangana State (Regd. No. 1578/2003) was formed to support government employees with disabilities across the state. The association works under the framework of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, helping members understand and exercise their rights at the workplace.
Our founder president, M. Narsaiah, established the association to give differently abled employees a unified voice — one that could speak directly with departments and the Commissionerate for the Welfare of Persons with Disabilities on issues that individuals often struggle to resolve alone.
Today the association is run by an elected body of office bearers spanning presidents, secretaries, and district-level organisers, supported by a panel of legal and professional advisers.
Our objectives
- Resolve service-related grievances of differently abled employees
- Spread awareness of welfare schemes, concessions and legal protections
- Coordinate regular grievance-redressal days with departmental officers
- Represent members' interests to government departments and the Disabled Welfare Corporation
- Build a support network among differently abled employees across districts

Held twice a month, every month
The association conducts a dedicated Grievance Day on the first and third Wednesday of every month, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM, to address the problems faced by differently abled employees working across departments in Telangana.
How it works
Members bring service-related concerns — postings, promotions, accessibility at the workplace, entitlements, and more — directly to office bearers during the session. The association then follows up with the relevant departmental officers to work toward a resolution.
Why it matters
Many issues facing differently abled employees go unresolved simply because there's no direct channel to raise them. This recurring session gives every member a predictable, standing opportunity to be heard.
To raise an issue ahead of the next Grievance Day, contact the General Secretary or Office Secretary listed on the Contact page.
