Was the feedback given and followed up when Bill was available for comments? I didn't quite understand why would you feel getting promotion is difficult without reservation? I'm just curious.Best regards, Srinivasu Chakravarthula Mobile: +91 990 081 0881 Website: http://www.srinivasu.org |http://sgaccessibility.com Follow me on Twitter:http://twitter.com/CSrinivasu Sr. Accessibility Lead at PayPal Founder at Sai Gagan Accessibility SolutionsHon.

However, I wonder that if this bill is controdictory to the interests of Visually Impaired community then what steps have taken by the champions, or so called champions of national and regional level, representing VI community? Though I haven't go through the document yet, your comments are compelling me to read it ASAP, Avinash! I will be thankful if you can mention the contentious sections and sub-sections of the bill.On 1/16/14, avinash shahi <shahi88avin...@gmail.com> wrote: request to all Please read the draft Bill before signing/e-mailing your letters. Blind people will be at the margins and no remedy will cure if this Bill passes in its current form. The Identification of posts is still in the jurisdiction of Governments' and only 15/20 per cent posts out of all are identified for the disabled. Please don't act in haste.On 1/16/14, Suhas Karnik <suhasvkar...@hotmail.com> wrote: Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 18:49:59 +0530 Subject: Support Disabilities Bill: Flood Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs with letters! From: dnis.in...@gmail.com To: edi...@dnis.org Disabled Rights Group and National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled January 11, 2014 Dear Friends, A meeting of several disability rights groups and activists was held in Delhi on January 8, 2014 at AADI.The meeting reviewed the campaign underway for the tabling and passage ofthe Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill in the forthcoming session ofParliament. The meeting noted that with each passing day, the campaign isgaining more support and strength. The meeting congratulated respective organisations and individuals for thegood mobilization for the Candlelight Vigil at Jantar Mantar in New Delhiand various other places in the country on December 31 on the issue. It was also reported that as part of the campaign, delegations have met Vice President Shri Hamid Ansari; the CPI(M) General Secretary Shri PrakashKarat; and BJP leader in the Rajya Sabha Shri Arun Jaitley. A delegation also met Congress President Smt. Sonia Gandhi subsequently, on January 9. All these leaders have assured their best support to the speedy enactmentof this legislation. A response to a letter seeking an appointment with the Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Kamal Nath is still awaited. As decided in the last meeting, to provide boost to this endeavour, twomeetings in centres outside Delhi have been planned. A meeting is slatedtobe held at Chennai on January 30 and a meeting will take place in Kolkataon February 2.Despite the assurances given by leaders of various political parties, we need to be cautious and extra vigilant. It was therefore decided that tobuild up the pressure from below, individuals and organisations should pool in all their energies and resources to mobilize people to write to the Minister of Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Kamal Nath as well as to all possible MPs (at least to those in their respective constituencies) andpolitical leaders urging them to see that the Bill is tabled and passed.E-mails, inlands, postcards, telegrams as may be convenient to eachindividual or organisation may be sent. A profoma of the letter that canbe sent is attached herewith. You may also modify the letter to suit your convenience, the main thrust being that the Disability Rights Bill be tabled and passed. To take the campaign a step further, the meeting decided to have a huge mobilization of disabled persons from the entire country in Delhi on February 3, 2014. It was also decided to approach different groups, organisations, students, youth and whosever is interested in lending support to this campaign tomobilize the numbers for the 'Rally for Disability Rights' on February 3.The exact venue where we will converge will be intimated shortly. Simultaneously, those who are unable to travel to Delhi for whatever reasons, will hold demonstrations in state capitals, towns, district centres etc as per their convenience. Disabled people in the entire country should be on the streets on February 3 demanding in unison the passage of the Bill. The mass of the disabled citizens has to be mobilized and galvanized. As stated earlier, despite the assurances, there should be no let up in the vigil. Nor do we need to tone down the campaign. On the contrary, it needs to be scaled up to new heights to ensure that the Bill is tabled and passed. -- Communication Unit:National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP)A -77, South Extension Part II New Delhi - 110 049, India Tel.: 91-11-26265647 / 26265648 Websites: www.ncpedp.org and www.dnis.org Find us on Facebook and Twitter Time to meet up again!
