Rajesh, Please if you have a few minutes go through the 2014 bill and please list what we have lost since then. In this search for perfection and one upmanship,the community has lost and no one wants to take the rap for it. It would have been fair if they had acknowledged the mistake of delaying the legislation. I hope the next generation learns from our stupidity. There are some who are celebrating and they have the right to celebrate because we have got some rights that we did not have in 1996. Some groups have been added and some disabilities have got more than what they had. So for them we cheer. Some of those cut paste sentences from CRPD will help us in courts. You know I am an optimist. But I too am saddened that we spent so much time, money, health and other resources on this half baked RPD Act. Kanchan
-----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Asudani, Rajesh Sent: 03 January 2017 12:43 To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Attention: Rights of persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 has been notified Frankly speaking, the new RPD act is not worth the wait. It has no weight. Just is a copy paste exercise from UNCRPD to appease the disabled. It is a bulletless gun, i.e. lacks any enforcement mechanism over and above what is already there. Moreover, it takes away what judicial pronouncements have already given us i.e. reservation of vacancies of total cadre strength rather than those in the identified posts and so on. It carves out exemptions from non-discrimination clauses like sections 3(3), section 20 and so on. Bifurcation of reservation for blind and low vision was stalled by our own advocates. It also suffers from excessive delegation as it leaves out substantive things like putting into practice social model of disability in certification, matters relating to posting and transfer, reservation in promotion etc. to government rule making. Nothing is prescribed about the horizontality of reservation which has already resulted in hafhazard implementation. It is not even clear on what constitutes benchmark disability when it says in clause 2R that benchmark disability is 40% of specified disability when disability is not defined in measurable terms and person with a disability when it is defined in measurable terms. At least I fail to comprehend what is meant by the above statement. It goes on to be garrulous about government's duties, copying terms from UNCRPD without actually mentioning who will do it. CCPD and SCPDs are ass toothless as they are at present. Fate of district level committees is anybody's guess as even its functions are left to state gtovernment's delegation. Designated special courts and special public prosecutors to initiate criminal proceedings at the behaste of disabled persons have to be notified by government and any such prosecution has to obtain sanction of the government which is self-defeating provision. What will be the fate of a criminal proceeding by a disabled person for violation of provisions of the act taken up by a SPP in a special court which is already overloaded with regular cases, is anybody's guess. Tall mandate is provided for all schools to be equipped to teach all the disabled!!! I do not want to write further as I don't want to dampen the spirits of joy-jumpers, lest they hang me for criticizing Modi government!!! -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of bhawani shankar verma Sent: Monday, January 02, 2017 7:05 PM To: access india; vedprakash.sha...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [AI] Attention: Rights of persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 has been notified I found nothing special in this act. as the powers of CCPD remains same. the comission has still no right to proceed under IPC and CR.P.C. also the 1% reservation will be captured by low vision means 40% blind will be more benifitted.
