I know Avinash, it is very very sad. I do wish I could do something
for
them. Let us at least begin somewhere. And imagine the state of the
female
blind citizen in those circumstances? Lately I have had the opportunity
of
going from village to village in and around Delhi and UP and Haryana, I
can't even begin to write about their state! It has torne me apart!
The
female is as it is in a horrendous state, imagine the ones who are
blind?
Therefore, I have decided to at least make a tiny beginning from
wherever
I
can with the limited or should I say no resources!
Let us all keep trying whatever we can do, and I am sure something
somewhere
will turn up and conditions will begin to improve!

You are right sir.
But what about those persons with disabilities who are between 18 to
35 years of age,unemployed, unmarried, abandoned by families and
invisible to the state? whom Cambridge based educationist Nidhi Singal
has rightly termed: "forgotten youth with disabilities".

I think it is high time issue of jobs for blind should be discussed
and dwelled upon in detail.
So thanks to Ishita for presenting this opportunity for serious
consideration for me at least.
As far as my reading of literature goes on the topic, it pains me to
the core. According to one RTI response obtained from DOPT: ' Out
of over 24 lakh employees belonging to Group A, B and C, the total
number of persons employed from disabled category was merely 5,014 on
January 1, 2012' (Yadav, Indian Express, 2013: 3 December)
(http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/disabled-have-3--quota-in-govt-jobs-
but-add-up-to-only-0.12-/1202425/).
Further, Census 2001, NSSO 58 round 2002 and World Bank report on
India 2007 categorically inform us that among disabled people employed
with publick sector undertakings, the biggest share has gone to
persons with locomotor disabilities. To make matter worse, from
unofficial estimate, only 15% jobs in government sectors are
identified for persons with disabilities, So you can simply surmise
where are blind people stand today.
Owing to paucity of time I should quickly critically comment on
private sector and persons with disabilities. Since the neo-liberal
dispensation has stretched its wings in Indian markets, jobs have
accrued to a particular class. And the other class which comprises of
a disabled living in the countryside, who struggles to boast English
accent, finds it hard to buy computer/mobile what to speak of JAWS and
Elliquence, has been hit hard. Like any other population group, , We
blind people also belong to different hierarchical backgrounds. And
Scheduled caste, scheduled tribes OBCs, and women representing
herinabove mentioned categories among blind people are hardly found in
private sector jobs. And majority of those who find jobs in NGOs
working for/of blind, call-centres and manufacturing units, are
least-paid and over-worked. So where we stand in private sector in
general, I think nowhere. But one thing consoles me in India we are
much better than America, UK and Australia. There unemployment rate of
disabled is very high, and provision of monthly few hundred
dollars/Great Britain Pound (GBP) without giving job is still a norm.
But here in India, we're expected to work if we want to be paid.
That's superb because what we aspire as human beings of course
DIGNITY. Lastly, no quality study exists which has analysed the blind
people's experiences at the workplace. Hope many of access Indians
along with me would enter in to disability studies in future and
contribute greatly to the literature which would guide the Indian
State...

achieve
great hights!

Re: my quriyocity are normelpeopleintrestedinmarryingblindpartners
Dear Ishita,
I have been selected by Reliance Industries Ltd. inspite of being
completely
blind & will be joining them within a fortnight. I am also aware of
other
partially & completely blind people working with the Reliance group
in
Mumbai.
Regarding the salary earned by blind individuals in the private
sector,
the
salary earned depends upon the individual's designation, capability &
qualifications. There are several list members who are employed in
the
private sector (myself included) who are earning a good salary. So,
it
is
not fair to generalise that the private sector does not pay it's
blind
employees adequately.
I agree that the private sector employers are hesitant to employ
blind
individuals but there are some employers who are willing to give the
blind
individuals a chance to show that they can perform on par with their
sighted
counterparts.
Regards
Mr. Sameer Latey,
Mumbai, India
