Re: [AI] The only disability in life is a bad attitude
dear Aruni Arsh, my problem is exactly the same as you thought. I am due for promotion as principal. I have passed all the dept exams wich are necessary for promotion, and fully qualified for the post. our state comissioner for disability has also written to the education dept. so far there is no reply from the concerned authorities. now i am thinking to approach to the court for the redressal of my grievences. regards. Dattu Agarwal. Aruni Arsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: As far as the practice in our state is concerned, the promotions are automatic without regard to any other consideration than the academic achievements. Of course haven't heard about anyone getting an administrative post like that of a principal. Could you please explain in detail the sort of discrimination you are facing in your job? Do you mean that you are not being promoted to an administrative post? As is the practice in government colleges, teachers are promoted to the post of principal according to their seniority. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dattu Agarwal Agarwal Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 9:40 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] The only disability in life is a bad attitude dear list, denial of promotion on the grounds of disability is really unjust and unconstitutional.

Aruni Arsh wrote: The only disability in life is a bad attitude The hindu business line opinion "No promotion shall be denied to a person merely on the ground of his disability... " Disability is a matter of perception, says Martina Navratilova. "If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone." Tragically, however, the disabled often face inequity. One such instance comes to light through a recent verdict of the Madras High Court in J. John Wincent vs The Commissioner of Central Excise, The Chief Commissioner of Excise (Cadre Controlling Authority), The Chairman, Central Board of Excise and Customs and The Registrar, Central Administrative Tribunal. John had joined the services of the Department as a Lower Division Clerk in May 1990. "Thereafter, he was promoted as Upper Division Clerk in the year 1995. Consequent to the re-designation of the post in the year 2002, he is holding the post of Tax Assistant," reads the text of the judgment dated April 27. John, by virtue of his experience, made a representation to the Department to consider him for promotion to the post of Inspector of Central Excise and Customs. "However, the respondents did not consider the representation of the petitioner and he was informed that, being a physically challenged person, he would not be able to do the arduous job of Inspector of Central Excise and Customs." How unfortunate! There were more people like John who had been refused promotion on account of disability. They had approached the Central Administrative Tribunal, which issued directions to the Department to consider the applications of the physically challenged persons for the post of Inspector of Central Excise and Customs. What happened thereafter? The Department called upon John `to undergo endurance test of cycling and walking.' And `he was found to have performed the same successfully.' Yet, in 2004, John was rejected on the ground that he did not have `the prescribed height'. He approached the Tribunal for remedy. Disappointingly, it held that there was no scope for relaxing the standards prescribed in the Recruitment Rules, and rejected John's application. Aggrieved, he took his case before the High Court. Speaking for John, his counsel V. Raghavachari said that the Tribunal had erred in rejecting the claim of the petitioner to the benefits conferred under Section 47(2) of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 in the matter of promotion. Also, at the time of joining the service John's height was 160 cm, as substantiated by the physical fitness certificate. For the Department, it was R. Santhanam who argued, and he reiterated the contentions earlier urged before the Tribunal.

[AI] Plan to install audiometers in autos under study
Plan to install audiometers in autos under study Gaurav Vivek Bhatnagar To protect visually-impaired passengers against fleecing NEW DELHI: As soon as a visually-impaired passenger enters a autorickshaw, he or she is greeted with an electronic "welcome'' and then a recorded sound says, "Starting fare is Rs. 8.'' Then when the passenger has completed the journey, the same electronic audiometer says aloud, "Total fare is Rs. 24 and 50 paise'' and "the distance travelled is 3 kilometres and 400 metres.'' While high-end technology may be a far cry in Indian autos - which, incidentally, have started operating in Britain too - this is how Delhi's 45,000 registered autorickshaws are expected to start operating soon. Under a plan that is under active consideration of the Delhi Transport Department, the audiometers will have an audio output and will be installed in the electronic fare meters of all the autos so that visually impaired people will be able to know the distance travelled and the fare to be paid. Cost-effective Work on the audiometers is being done by the Samarthya Centre for Promotion of Barrier Free Environment for Disabled People and the audiometers will be installed for making the passengers' journey more comfortable. According to Sanjeev Sachdev of Samarthya, the audiometer, basically an integrated circuit that would be installed in the existing meters, would be both easy to install and cost-effective. Costing just a few hundred rupees each, these ICs would also hopefully make manipulation of the meters difficult. Work was under way to improve the quality of sound emanating from them. Braille plates Simultaneously, to make travel for the visually impaired passengers safe and independent, the Transport Department had approved of the plan for installing Braille plates bearing the registration number of the autos on the exterior of the vehicles. This would make it easier for them to know the registration number of the erring vehicle. http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/03/stories/2006090301190700.htm Vikas Kapoor, MSN ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype ID: dl_vikas Mobile: (+91) 9891098137.

Re: [AI] [question about formatting laptop hdd
My observation is that this happens after the installation of some network services and drivers. I was facing this problem on my new machine which had the latest processor at that time.

Re: [AI] The only disability in life is a bad attitude
As far as the practice in our state is concerned, the promotions are automatic without regard to any other consideration than the academic achievements. Of course haven't heard about anyone getting an administrative post like that of a principal. Could you please explain in detail the sort of discrimination you are facing in your job? Do you mean that you are not being promoted to an administrative post? As is the practice in government colleges, teachers are promoted to the post of principal according to their seniority. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dattu Agarwal Agarwal Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 9:40 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] The only disability in life is a bad attitude dear list, denial of promotion on the grounds of disability is really unjust and unconstitutional.

One such instance comes to light through a recent verdict of the Madras High Court in J. John Wincent vs The Commissioner of Central Excise, The Chief Commissioner of Excise (Cadre Controlling Authority), The Chairman, Central Board of Excise and Customs and The Registrar, Central Administrative Tribunal. John had joined the services of the Department as a Lower Division Clerk in May 1990. "Thereafter, he was promoted as Upper Division Clerk in the year 1995. Consequent to the re-designation of the post in the year 2002, he is holding the post of Tax Assistant," reads the text of the judgment dated April 27. John, by virtue of his experience, made a representation to the Department to consider him for promotion to the post of Inspector of Central Excise and Customs. "However, the respondents did not consider the representation of the petitioner and he was informed that, being a physically challenged person, he would not be able to do the arduous job of Inspector of Central Excise and Customs." How unfortunate! There were more people like John who had been refused promotion on account of disability. They had approached the Central Administrative Tribunal, which issued directions to the Department to consider the applications of the physically challenged persons for the post of Inspector of Central Excise and Customs. What happened thereafter? The Department called upon John `to undergo endurance test of cycling and walking.' And `he was found to have performed the same successfully.' Yet, in 2004, John was rejected on the ground that he did not have `the prescribed height'. He approached the Tribunal for remedy. Disappointingly, it held that there was no scope for relaxing the standards prescribed in the Recruitment Rules, and rejected John's application. Aggrieved, he took his case before the High Court. Speaking for John, his counsel V. Raghavachari said that the Tribunal had erred in rejecting the claim of the petitioner to the benefits conferred under Section 47(2) of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 in the matter of promotion. Also, at the time of joining the service John's height was 160 cm, as substantiated by the physical fitness certificate. For the Department, it was R. Santhanam who argued, and he reiterated the contentions earlier urged before the Tribunal. Equality for disabled "The short but core point for consideration in this writ petition is: whether the petitioner is entitled to promotion to the post of Inspector of Central Excise and Customs in spite of the disability suffered by him during the course of his employment?" observed Justices P.

Re: [AI] using ATM's
Some talking ATMs have been installed in Pune and Mumbai by the ICICI bank. However, their number is severely limited. Operating ATMs with buttons may be easier for a blind person even if it is a simple ATM. I could remember the sequence and take out money without sighted help. But the touch screen models have become more popular these days further compounding the problem for us. We must approach the bank authorities to install talking machines. It could be a good idea to talk directly to the RBI. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vedprakash Sharma Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2006 7:17 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: [AI] using ATM's Dear List, in this era of booming technology, the visually challenged in India have no access to as simple thing as an ATM Machine.
