Hello, I have read the attached documents. They are very well-written. I still would like to draw your attention to the following points:
Article-24- Education It seems, the government is shifting towards SarvaSikshaAbhiyaan (SSA) and inclusive education since special education is more expensive. These schemes are supposed to be complementary programmes for those who could not or cannot continue their education. I don’t understand why SSA is considered to be the main programme for children with disabilities. Are they second class citizens? The question should be raised aloud. Article 25 – Health Swavalamban Health Insurance Scheme was introduce some years back as an economy health insureance package for persons with disabilities. Possible beneficiaries are hardly aware of Swavalamban Health Insurance Scheme in West Bengal. Is it still available? I once visited an office of New India Assurance Company in Kolkata. The staff did not know of the scheme at all and they refused to contact their higher office. Article 27: Work and employment Appointments are being made in the railway against employment notice no. CEN RRC-01_2019. The Railway Ministry has not yet appointed many totally blind applicants although low vision applicants with lower scores have been appointed. If this becomes a trend, particular in government employment, there is ample reason for totally blind candidates to worry. Please address this issue in your statement.

As you review these, you may start to notice significant representation gaps and a lack of comprehensive information, particularly concerning the upcoming submissions from India for our community. I encourage everyone to go through these documents carefully and share your analyses and thoughts. Thank you for your attention. With best, Ram. -- Disclaimer: 1.
