He directed officials that before organising the fair, it should be widely publicised among the disabled, so that they can take maximum benefit from it. He said that discussions should be held with all stakeholders before organising the fair. After discussing with the companies, the posts to be given to the disabled people should also be assessed and listed. On the basis of this, the disabled people should be informed and their list should also be made. On the basis of this, they should be invited for selection in the self-employment fair.
