Dear All: Greetings from the Eyeway Helpdesk!
Follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts: 1. News- When Mr Narendra Modi gave the slogan of *‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'* during his 2014 election campaign, it was assumed that his inclusive governance pitch referred to religious minorities and backward castes. Few would have imagined that the call would also be extended to the differently-abled who, unfortunately, continue to languish on the periphery of public consciousness. On December 3, the Government will be launching the Accessible India Campaign, also known as the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan — a nationwide drive towards achieving universal accessibility so that all persons, including those with special needs, have access to equal opportunities across the socio-economic spectrum, from education to employment. The aim is not only to ensure that the differently-abled are no longer dependent on others but also to pave the way for their full participation in life and society, so that they too can be more productive members. If successful, the campaign has the potential to turn upside down the sad notion of a differently-abled person being a life-long burden. It has long since been established that, while the differently-abled have limitations in one part, they more than make up for it through enhanced abilities in other areas. For example, those with low or no vision generally have a more evolved sense of sound and smell. If society does its part and puts in place the infrastructure to accommodate them, the differently-abled will be just as ‘functional' as the man next to him.
