I agree with Aniruddh. We need real special schools for education at an early
age. But these special schools are neglected. The government speaks of
inclusive education at school level when there is hardly any arrangement at
normal schools. Special universities will segregate us and who can say, some
day these universities will be forgotten. Rather we always have a better chance
at normal universities to find a subject of choice and good faculty, and of
course, good friends.
However, it may help persons with speech and hearing disabilities. But this
issue may be addressed by setting up special cells in universities.
With best regards,

Mumbai
Being a professor in a private college, I discourage any attempt of making a
separate university for the disabled.
We have many separate schools for the blind and we know the state of affairs
in most of the states.
I do not understand why the people in the government get those thoughts and
why our community supports something which sidelines us.
The better avenue is to create/strengthen the EOCs.

Panel to study idea of univ for students with disabilities Mumbai : The
state government has set up a 15-member committee to study the possibility of a
separate university for persons with disabilities. While students with
disabilities are currently enrolled across state universities in a variety of
courses, the exercise will also be undertaken to see if there is a need for a
separate university, and if there is, then what will be the future course of
action. The state committee will consider all aspects of the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities Act, 2016, which promotes inclusive education. It will study
if a separate university will lead to an increased sense of alienation among
students. The committee, set up by the higher and technical education
department, is expected to submit its report in two months’ time. In line with
the National Education Policy, 2020, the state is keen on taking appropriate
measures towards facilitating higher education to all persons with
disabilities. The committee will see if this university, if necessary, can be a
standalone multidisciplinary teaching and research-oriented university. It has
also been asked to study the feasibility of a centre or a department for
students with disabilities in traditional universities instead of a standalone
university.
