Pleased to share with you that the Department of IT, Biotechnology and S&T, Government of Karnataka, is organizing “IT for Persons with Disabilities” - a National Conference on 20th & 21st December, 2010 at J N Tata Auditorium, Indian Institute of Science, Malleswaram, Bangalore.
Fifteen years after the Persons with Disability Act was enacted in this country, their inclusion in society has not seen any marked improvement. In the same period, however, Information Technology has evolved by leaps and bounds. Technology has become more powerful, user friendly and more affordable by orders of magnitude in 2010, when compared to 1995. It has been demonstrated across the world, that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) provides a great opportunity to bridge the gap and help PWDs to be more productive and integrate with the society, regardless of the nature of their disabilities – Visual, hearing, mobility or intellectual. Karnataka, being India’s pioneer in ICT, is taking the lead in this process and the conference is the first of its kind in the country. The conference aims to bring together the leading players in the Industry, NGOs sector and the relevant government functionaries to recommend concrete action.
