IAS topper Ira Singhal could be the mascot to raise awareness about the schemes run by the department of disabilities, Social justice minister Thaawar Chand Gehlot said. "Her achievement shall inspire a whole generation of youth to come forward and achieve glorious heights," he said.

Earlier, Ira was felicitated by Gehlot for topping the civil service examination despite being afflicted with a serious disability. The young topper would be an appropriate brand ambassador for the disability department, he added.
Ira raised the problems faced by aspirants of competitive examinations with disabilities.

Lov Verma, secretary, department of empowerment of persons with disabilities, assured her that the hurdles pointed out by her shall be removed.

The ministry officials ensured that they will hold consultations with top examination bodies, like UPSC, SSC, UGC and others, to ensure a set of guidelines that would help to achieve the "inclusion and participation" of persons with disabilities.
