Yesterday, We invited the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities Dr Kamlesh Kumar Pandey in JNU. And had engrossing discussion over various issues ranging from the powers of the CCPD office to the term ‘Divyang’. He kept listening and responded to all queries put up by the students. The biggest outcome: now blind people those who don’t have internet connection and don’t want to be dependent on others to write their complain which violates their right to privacy could directly send their complain to the CCPD Office in Braille. Yes, The CCPD has agreed in principle to bring out a notification which would enable blind people residing in the rural hemlets of the country to register their complain in Braille. JNU Visually challenged Forum is immensely delighted at this development which would help millions of blind people who hardly approach the office for the redressal of their grievances. We’ll follow it up until this gets implemented. This should also be emulated in the States.
