While I agree that the points you raise are valid and very critical. Yes the campaign for Govvt being more active in providing jobs to the adult blind/visually impaired persons has definitely to be intensified. This however does not take away from the earlier comments and views expressed regarding immoral practices during taking exams.
Focus has to be on quality services in terms of education, vocational training and skill development. Our blind candidate need to be empowered. The need is to demand for more schools across the country, better quality of teachers and modernisation of processes. The blind youth coming out of the system have to be employable. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: 19 March 2015 10:52 To: accessindia Subject: [AI] Tamil Nadu: 56 visually challenged persons arrested You can arrest them,but can not kill their spirit to fight for their rights granted by the law. State is becoming repressive towards us: let us all become more alert and vigilent. These protesters have cleared exams and eligibility but where is job? who is responsible for their joblessness? such questions should make us thoughtful and help us in deciding how we respond to the state. Recently I met with two prominent government officials in Delhi at IIC, and they informed government is not at all willing to employ totally blind people. and here some of friends are raising questions about the immoral means adopted by blind examinees? http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/56-visually-challenged-per sons-arrested/article7009929.ece -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessin dia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
