Ajay, What I conceive is to have the impact analyses of the PWD Act on blind people in different states. When we uniformly use disabled category it excludes many and over-represents others. We have to accept the reality that blind, mentally-ill and the hearing impaired people are the most marginalized among the categories recognized under the Act. Therefore if we use popular usage disabled denoting all categories it would not provide us real picture. Danish, excellent I want you to write from Punjab. State-policy adopted by the states could be analysed. And NGO representatives could also share their experience of working in the rural and semi-urban districts. We have found one volunteer from Tamil Nadu. I wish we will have volunteers willing to collaborate from other states as well. I will soon contact people working in north-eastern states to bring them on board. It will be worth-doing exercise please pitch in. our community will be highly benefited. We have ample months we could extract info by filing RTIS if recquired.
