Hi Pranav, How can we offer higher base salary without potential? You mean, you want companies to pay higher salaries than the co employees without better performance? Then most companies will go bankrupt and no blind people will be entertained. Already, employers have to spend extra money and human resources to train and accommodate blind people. On top of that, if you ask for higher salaries, then there will be no meaning for competitive work environment and everyone will become beggars for higher pay. I don't think you can change beggar's perception if they are wontedly begging. If they are begging just because there is no alternative to fulfill hunger, then even for a lower pay, beggars will leave their profession and start working to fill their stomach. Of course NGO's can perhaps do this as a charity but not in a professional setting. Getting job for blind people as it is difficult and you are asking for higher salaries which are a big joke. Please do talk sensibly on the public list as there are potential employers like me and so many others. I pay much higher salaries for disabled in our company but I am completely disappointed with the consistent poor performance of blind people. I have regular daily labor without any disability that gets much lower salary than blind employees who are on our payroll. When I look at performance, blind people cannot even do 1/third work of a regular sited employee. I do understand we don't have site but we have physical strength right? When accessible work is given then what is the problem in completing it? So do you still want companies to recruit blind people and pay higher salaries to entertain their lazy trades? I guess people have to either suffer or realize their strengths and reality. As I mentioned in my earlier emails, blind people who completed their M-A and PG are not even able to do accurate counting till 50. Is this not shame on our part to ask for extra privileges? How can these blind people completing their professional degrees without knowing basic additions? This goes back to our discussion on scribes. Unless this situation changes, blind people will continue to lose the credibility and self-respect. I feel that free government facilities are making blind people lazy and expecting everything for free. Other main contributors are our generous donors who donate or sponsor lazy blind people. I am really sorry for commenting on the public forum but this is the place to create awareness. I know many of you are working for the cause of blind people and many of you are operating credible organizations dedicated for the welfare of the disabled people. So please realize and don't give anything for free. These kinds of comments which seek extra privileges will upset potential employers and this is not for our good. Guys realize and wake up. Society is looking at us and one fine day society will never entertain blind people in to main streaming. Please note, my comments are not vague. They are based on real analysis and experience. Of course, my negative comments will not be applicable for all of you but people who are lazy and who cannot do anything but just expect everything for free. Regards,

Subject: Re: [AI] Blind Beggars in Banglore Hi Umesha, I suspect we need to offer a higher base salary to attract blind beggers away from begging. This is potentially a research topic.
