Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility toblindinBankofIndia
Hi Subhash and others, To propose such a method for VI customers, as you mentioned we also will have to ensure and show the feasibility of its security at individual level, specially when one is partially or totally blind. Any ideas how do companies/ big establishments secure the signature which they print on the thousands of cheques they issue? for example earlier all dividend payout by companies was by printed cheques to their thousands/lakhs of shareholders, where even the signature was printed (if I remember rightly). thanks, Pranay. - Original Message - From: subhashvashis...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 12:36 PM Subject: Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility toblindinBankofIndia Hi Prashant Use of seal or stamp for signature or a combination is generally not permitted on financial documents where a financial transaction takes place as a result of this. However E signatures and even signature stamps are allowed on cheques, premium receipts in organized set ups such a LIC etc but not for individual clients. What u suggest can be proposed to the banking industry as a viable option. The VH community has to be very cautious before taking such decision, though this seems workable for now! If systems are created for checks and balances and it is declared as valid for acceptance then it can be allowed for VI customers for sure! This can come under reasonable accommodation. Law is not a barrier in this.

He used to sign on the paper and then fixed the stamp which carried his name. So, his signature was a combination of his writing with the pen which was not always identical but it also had his name stamped on it which was always identical. I want to know if this type of signature is legally acceptable? If it is then it may be a good workaround for many for signing cheques and other documents. -- From: Srikanth Bolla presidentsrika...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 7:36 AM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Cc: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility to blind inBankofIndia Any designer will do it?

[AI] My take on the working draft of new disability act
Friends as you know, working draft of new disability law is public, and state consultations are taking place throughout India. I have gone through it, and have put forth some comments prima facie. I will be discussing them in the forthcoming state consultations in Maharashtra. I am aware that not all of you would want to go through this lengthy mail, but am putting my comments here so that anybody who is interested may get back to me with their opinions. Sorry for cluttering the inboxes. So, those averse to law, quit reading here Statement of objects and reasons, preamble, Introductory Preamble: A. it should be sixty fourth year of Union of India and not sixty third as mentioned. Section 2 definitions A. Definition of appropriate government is semantically confused. It needs to be properly worded and clarified to demarcate jurisdiction of central and state governments. B. In the definition of barrier, the word prevents should be used in addition to already used words impedes/obstructs. This is so, because the words used give an impression of partial non realization of participation and leave out wholesale and full non realization thereof. In the same definition, the words cultural should be inserted in addition to mentioned categories of obstruction. This would cover practices like removing calipers while worshiping, and would be akin to giving equal spiritual rights to disabled as was being craved for by some committee members. In the same definition of barriers, instead of participation in society the words Participation in all domains of activities should be used. This is so because society is a general and diffused term and may be interpreted to mean sociocultural activities and not formal activities. C. in the definition of disadvantage, the word whom should be used in place of who in the explanation. D. in the definition of person with disability: A. enumeration of impairments should not start with Physical but should be alphabetical viz: Developmental, intellectual, mental, physical and sensory. This is so, as putting physical first is sans any criteria and gives misleading impression of primacy of physical impairments over others. ii. Along with hindering full and effective participation in society, the nature of impairments affecting functioning in domains of life, in interaction with barriers or otherwise also, must be recognized. iii. Operational criteria in form of requirement of technical or human aid for performance of various activities in effective and safe manner and disability being the condition making persons more vulnerable in comparison to similarly situated persons without impairment, should also be recognized. IV. The phrase on equal basis with others used at various places is enigmatic. What is precisely meant by others is left to conjecture. And persons with disabilities are not only to be placed at par with non disabled as far as rights and dignity is concerned, but they are to be regarded human beings with certain impairments who have their own specific rights and needs also which may not be reflected by prescription of on equal basis with others. E. The definition of person with disability supposedly applies to entire act. Categories of impairments specified in section 22 for programmatic entitlements are presumably included in it. However, act fails to clearly lay down this thing. It may result in persons with disabilities mentioned in section 22 being only recognized for part iv and not for all other parts. So, clear mention of dual definition of disability in act is called for. It should say that the definition in section 2 is inclusive of disabilities in section 22, and in section 22 it should say that these disabilities are valid for entire act in addition to criteria laid down in section 2 definition. This should be done by way of abundant caution as specifying impairments for specific programmatic entitlements is beneficial, but it should in o way curtail their recognition as disabilities for all provisions of the act. Criteria enunciated in section 2 would take care to have others also included for other provisions except part iv. F. Further, there seems to be no machinery whereby this definition of disability would be concretized in respect of persons having impairments other than mentioned in part iv. For Ex. If a dwarf person or a person with sexual disability wishes to assert and exercise all the rights in part ii and iii, she/he will not know whom to approach for convincing the persons denying her equal participation that she is a person with disability. Suitable provisions should be enunciated to this criteria to be applied in actuality. G. In section 22, impairments are mentioned without defining them at all, and all is left to prescription by government. This approach is highly dangerous and we may suffer the consequences till posterity. In effect, this act fails to

Re: [AI] Regarding my new bank account opening with Standard charted bank...
Hi akhil, I think you no need to apologize for asking this important question. No matter how many times this question has come on the list and answered, the unfortunate part is that the same problem keep persisting again and again with someone or the other amongst us. Coming to your problem, Its ridiculous why these banks makes such specious decisions when it comes to a visually challenged person. From experience I can tell you that its very much possible to open individual account in any bank, and that too with no special document or formality. We have the wonderful RBI circular and IBA guidelines supporting this, and as you must be knowing, one can obtain all the services of a bank which are being provided to any other customer. The said circular and guideline is available on my website for download. You might like to visit my website at www.prateekagarwal.webs.com or www.prateekagarwal.tk One thing that I’d like to advise you in this regard is, please try talking to bank manager regarding the denial. Also, show them the circular and if still the problem persists, ask the respective authority to give you a written statement about basis of denial. We’ll see further from there. A bit away from the context, i’m wondering if something in general can be done regarding this aggravating problem. Since we have many NGOs and their representatives on this list, can a program like this be designed to spread the awareness in bank employees? i often believe that the problem is more about lack of awareness then anything else, and though legal fight is an option, but in my personal opinion, spreading awareness and changing people’s attitude can prove more important and handy.

[AI] Senseless SCL Rules
Friends As you know ten days special casual leave is given to government employees for attending disability related programmes. Ministry of social justice and empowerment has specified as to what bodies should arrange the programme for such leave to be admissible. The relevant extract of office memorandum reads as under: Ministries/Departments are now informed that it, has been decided in consultation with Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment that the special casual leave to the differently abled (^enJ-raL-GUn^rjuiient employees with disabilitletTas per the above O.MTIaieTTT'iTll.^OO? may be allowed for participation ijj I'otiti'reMces/worlishons/si'ininars/tnuniims related to Disability and Disability related programmes organi/ml by I ho following'- (i) Central Government and Slato/UT Governments; (ii) Central and Stato/UT Government Institutions/Agencies; (iii) International agencies like UN, World Hank etc; (iv) Universities Educational Institution]* set up by Central/State Government, recognized as predominant centres for education on rehabilitation of persons with disabilities and (v)Recognised institutes for persons with disabilities, under Chapter X and Chapter XI of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act. l!W.r In plain words apart from government bodies and universities, only organizations registered under disabilities act are covered. Now, frankly speaking, most of organizations working in the field of disability are not so registered but have registration under relevant laws for societies registration or public trust registration. Here, we have many representatives of NGOs, and so I pose an open question to them whether organization is registered under persons with disabilities act? Answer would be most probably no. this is because relevant mechanism was never set up, and appropriate authority for such registration namely disability commissioner is hardly functional in most states. So, it is sure that we won't get special casual leave even for programmes organized by bit NGOs working in disability field. I was recently denied SCL for a programme held at a big level by a well known NGO in maharashtra citing this very Office memorandum of MSJE. It is high time that we impress upon baboos sitting in MSJE that relevant rule should provide for organizations working with persons with disabilities registered under any law for registration of societies in force for the time being.

[AI] IN FIRST PERSON
Hello Copying a posting which did not make to the list. Harish Kotian. The hindu Magazine: IN FIRST PERSON Marathon mission Disability need not stop you from running to achieve your objectives. Wheelchair-bound JACQUELINE COLACO writes about her experience in the recent Mumbai Marathon. Photo: AP We can too:Raising awareness for people with disabilities. Where do I begin? Thus start the lyrics of the famous song Love Story. In my case, it began with an early morning exit from my home at 6.00 a.m. Mumbai was still dark at that hour, traffic and people were much in evidence, but our ride was smooth and fast through veggie, fruit and flower markets doing brisk business in the wee hours; past fancy complexes now mushrooming in mostly defunct but prime properties of once thriving cotton mills; through Mohammed Ali Road, mostly unchanged with its traditional old Bombay cheek-by-jowl buildings. We soon reached Crawford Market; turning the corner at the famous Badshah cool drink house brought back memories of earlier decades, when I downed its famous falooda and sweet lassi after a shopping spree or hockey practice. At starting point While I was lost in the past, we reached the starting point for the marathon: the CST or Victoria Terminus as I knew it. As we disembarked from the car, I settled myself into a wheelchair borrowed locally from a home for people with disability. Nishadh wheeled me into the assembly arena where we met up with the 14 other APD participants from Bangalore. Team APD looked smart in marathon gear: t-shirts provided by one of our donors, my former employer Bank of Baroda, to which we'd attached APD logos/slogans. In addition, we carried placards with messages about APD's vision and mission on disability. We were a bunch of about 250 wheelchair participants from different organisations in India, gathered amid a great atmosphere of camaraderie, to 'take off' for the event. We felt like celebrities for a change, as TV crew and newspaper reporters and photographers thronged to interview us. I even delivered some words of wisdom in Hindi about the need for doing more for people with disability and, as I do in the Bangalore marathon, I distributed my handouts Running in a wheelchair and Beatitudes of the disabled to bystanders along the route. At 8.00 a.m. we were flagged off to much fanfare. Initially there was a bit of zig-zagging with inexpert manoeuvring but Nishadh soon got the hang of avoiding the other wheels and we found our space on the extreme left lane of the D.N. Road, the first part of the 2.7 km course. As we moved along, I glimpsed some Bollywood stars like John Abraham and Rahul Bose, Shilpa Shetty, Priya Dutt lined up in the celebrity boxes hailing us as heroes as roles reversed; whew! We wheeled along leisurely as I was not here to race! Nishadh, my patient and attentive escort, let me drink in and savour the sights of my younger days as we approached Flora Fountain, passed the CTO and stopped by the Oval for a photograph. I had another photo op in front of Eros cinema where I'd gone on many a movie date in my early Bank of Baroda days. We u-turned there and returned via the same route. Back to base and back to the other APD guys who had raced off (one came in third). All of us were very thrilled with the experience of our first foray into the Mumbai Marathon, the third largest I understand, in the world, in terms of number of participants. Great run For me this was a self-satisfying experience of proving once again that disability need not stop you from running to achieve your objectives. With a fourth marathon under my belt now and around Rs.6 lakh collected for APD's programmes from the appeal I made on it's behalf to family and friends who have supported my cause so generously with love, affection and money. I embarked on this adventure with much apprehension, travelling as I did from Bangalore and should, therefore, acknowledge the services of an unsung heroine of my household, my faithful care giver Kamalamma who accompanied me foregoing Pongal celebration with her family in Bangalore. All in all, it's been a great run with plenty of fun! Surreal experiences NISHADH REGO Pushing his great aunt along in the recent Wheelchair Marathon in Mumbai, NISHADH REGO records his impressions of the most special race of them all. PHOTO: SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT Nishadh with Jacqueline. We arrived at 7.00 a.m. to take our place among the 300- odd participants of the 2011 Mumbai Wheelchair Marathon (January 15). A gully between the Times of India and BMC buildings served as our holding area; a small space for a side event on a day dominated by the usual suspects; the Standard Chartereds, the Shilpa Shettys, and CEOs. I noticed a woman in a wheelchair beside me. She looked middle-aged, but her face bore a tired spent look. Nevertheless, she was there pushed by her husband and accompanied by banner bearers.

Re: [AI] Regarding my new bank account opening with Standardcharted bank...
Hi Prateek To my understanding there is one solution of this problem. Once such circular is issued by the supreme authority in this case say RBI or IBA, then all head offices of the bank should put a seal and sign or whatever to show that the circular is being implemented in their bank, and then the final copy should be circulated amongst people. The reason for this is only one. Any bank staff demands their own bank's circular. So this can be one good option. Right now every bank issue its own internal circular, copy of which is not available generally. And generally such circulars are not updated as per the changed circulars from higher authorities. So if the bank staff sees the seal, they are satisfied mentally.

Hi akhil, I think you no need to apologize for asking this important question. No matter how many times this question has come on the list and answered, the unfortunate part is that the same problem keep persisting again and again with someone or the other amongst us. Coming to your problem, Its ridiculous why these banks makes such specious decisions when it comes to a visually challenged person. From experience I can tell you that its very much possible to open individual account in any bank, and that too with no special document or formality. We have the wonderful RBI circular and IBA guidelines supporting this, and as you must be knowing, one can obtain all the services of a bank which are being provided to any other customer. The said circular and guideline is available on my website for download. You might like to visit my website at www.prateekagarwal.webs.com or www.prateekagarwal.tk One thing that I’d like to advise you in this regard is, please try talking to bank manager regarding the denial. Also, show them the circular and if still the problem persists, ask the respective authority to give you a written statement about basis of denial. We’ll see further from there. A bit away from the context, i’m wondering if something in general can be done regarding this aggravating problem. Since we have many NGOs and their representatives on this list, can a program like this be designed to spread the awareness in bank employees? i often believe that the problem is more about lack of awareness then anything else, and though legal fight is an option, but in my personal opinion, spreading awareness and changing people’s attitude can prove more important and handy. I’ll be happy to work in association if some NGOs are willing to run such an awareness campaign. At least I can try helping in spreading such an awareness in rajasthan. Regards, Prateek agarwal.

Hi, I had forwarded your mail to the to the Orca mailing and pasting the reply received. Hope this helps. Renuka. Hi. Try start orca using the -s option. This will put orca in the setup mode. I am not sure what synth orca will use. You can try too the -t instead of -s option. Another approach is to remove the directory where orca stores the config files. Depending on the version of orca, you can find the directory in the ~/.local/share/. Hope this helps.

Dear Prateek, You are absolutely right, due to the lack of awareness only the bank people are denying so many facilities, For obtaining net banking facility I did produce the circular from the RBI The incharge person SBM told me that I am not denying any facility on the basis of your handicappedness, but how it is possible to you to work on your own and what if any mishap occur. Then I had to take my laptop and demonstrate to him about the screen reader and how a VI can use the computer without the help, then he convinced and without any trouble he avail me the facility.

No matter how many times this question has come on the list and answered, the unfortunate part is that the same problem keep persisting again and again with someone or the other amongst us. Coming to your problem, Its ridiculous why these banks makes such specious decisions when it comes to a visually challenged person. From experience I can tell you that its very much possible to open individual account in any bank, and that too with no special document or formality. We have the wonderful RBI circular and IBA guidelines supporting this, and as you must be knowing, one can obtain all the services of a bank which are being provided to any other customer. The said circular and guideline is available on my website for download. You might like to visit my website at www.prateekagarwal.webs.com or www.prateekagarwal.tk One thing that I’d like to advise you in this regard is, please try talking to bank manager regarding the denial. Also, show them the circular and if still the problem persists, ask the respective authority to give you a written statement about basis of denial. We’ll see further from there. A bit away from the context, i’m wondering if something in general can be done regarding this aggravating problem. Since we have many NGOs and their representatives on this list, can a program like this be designed to spread the awareness in bank employees? i often believe that the problem is more about lack of awareness then anything else, and though legal fight is an option, but in my personal opinion, spreading awareness and changing people’s attitude can prove more important and handy. I’ll be happy to work in association if some NGOs are willing to run such an awareness campaign. At least I can try helping in spreading such an awareness in rajasthan. Regards, Prateek agarwal.

Re: [AI] help required regarding cheque facility toblindinBankofIndia
Dear all, I hope you people have seen the cheque printing templates I had designed earlier and which are being used widely for writing cheques. More information on this is available at http://www.prashant.myehome.in/down.html#cheque Further, there is a workaround for signing at the correct place on the cheque. The cover page of the cheque book is generally made of thick paper. Ask someone to cut a window on it just at the place where you are supposed to sign. It is generally towards the bottom right corner. Now you can easily feel this square shaped hole in the cover page and sign between it. Then tear the first cheque leaf and put it in the printer and use my templates to print the payee and amount details at the correct places.. It is doable with little practice. many many visually impaired and even non-disabled are using it for writing cheques.

What u suggest can be proposed to the banking industry as a viable option. The VH community has to be very cautious before taking such decision, though this seems workable for now!

[AI] job vacancy
Received this email from another list. Have copied the attachment below the mail. Kanchan There is a job vacancy at Jaipur - the position is of a consultancy nature - working with the State Education Department. Position title - Consultant (Inclusive Education Department) for Blind and Low Vision Children The job description is attached along with this email. Please feel free to circulate amongst your network and ask persons to directly get in touch with Ms. Sugandhi Baliga (HR Manager at Sightsavers, India Region) by the 10th of March Could you kindly help us in circulating this information through your network? Thanks and Regards Sabitra Job Description : Consultant Inclusive Education Department (Blind and Low Vision) - Government Inclusive Education programme strengthening project, (Government Of Rajasthan) Location: Jaipur Background of the project Sarva Sikhsha Abhiyan (SSA) has made significant move by identifying about 2.5 Lakh children with special need in the state of Rajasthan and enrolling 2.4 Lakh of the identified children in the mainstream schools. Various initiatives such as developing existing SSA resource rooms as model resource rooms, appointing resource teachers to support the education of Children with special need (CWSN), clinical and functional assessment of the children, distribution of aids and appliances, making barrier free environment at schools, orientation and training of school teachers on disability have been initiated under inclusive education programme of SSA. The enrolment of children with specific need in the schools has given new hope to the children and their parents and is creating demand for specific support services. Lack of human resources has been one of the major challenges across the county in supporting the inclusive education component of the SSA. Two hundred and sixty nine (269) resource teachers have been appointed so far for 33 districts of the state - but looking at the number of identified children (2.48 Lakh) this is inadequate. Availability of resource teachers specialized to a particular disability remains another challenge. For 33552 identified visual impaired children in the state 66 special educators trained in VI are available which is highly inadequate. Due to less number of resource teachers' children with visual impairment find difficulty in receiving regular specific support and their educational need is not fulfilled properly. Lack of human resources also restricts the district authorities to extend other support services to the children with specific need. State also lacks technical manpower for assessment of low vision children and as a result very few children in the state have been assessed for low vision and given low vision devices. Children requiring plus curriculum training need regular and intensive support in the beginning so that they learn Braille and other plus curriculum skills and their integration in the mainstream schools becomes easier. Involvement of the parents and the community in the education of the children with specific need has not been significant in the state. Sightsavers has been supporting the Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programme in the two districts along with other districts in Rajasthan for the last 8 years. The CBR programme will facilitate in mobilizing community support in the implementation of the project. Realizing the current challenges being faced in the implementation of the inclusive education component in the state this partnership of Sightsavers with Government of Rajasthan is intended to pilot new approaches in two needy districts Jaisalmer and Barmer and undertake some specific state level joint initiatives. The ultimate aim of this collaboration is to see that all the blind and low vision children in the two pilot districts receive quality education and state initiative to promote inclusive education for children with specific need is strengthened. Sightsavers would be strengthening the state cell of inclusive education by supporting the salary component of a consultant for Blind / Low Vision for 3 years who will be supporting the IE cell in reporting and documentation along with coordinating the district pilot projects of the two districts. Sightsavers would be extending technical support to the IE cell in planning out the services to low vision children of the entire state and also provide resource support for training and capacity building activities as agreed in the proposal. Key Responsibilities of the Consultant The Key responsibilities of the Consultant mainly consist of the following: 1. Extending technical and managerial support to the State IED cell in the entire cycle of programme management consisting of planning, implementation and monitoring. 2. Take lead in documentation of the success stories and interventions under IED component

Re: [AI] Senseless SCL Rules
Dear Rajesh, Most Organisations running special schools or rehabilitation centres and availing some form of grants are registered under not only society/trust registration acts but also under the PWD Act. This registration is a simple procedure and forms are generally available for such registration in the office of the District Social Welfare Officer in States. For example AICB is registered under the PWD Act. However, I agree that many advocacy organisations or self-help groups have not registered themselves as they do not apply for any government grant. Any organisation that applies for government grant for working in rehabilitation of the disabled has to fulfil the criteria of registration under PWD act too. I entirely agree that this provision in the DoPT memo needs to be revised since the new draft law doesn't talk of registration of organisation under the Act and a relevant registration of the organisation under Society/Trust/Company is sufficient. However, till such time the new law comes in to being, the old law exist and so this circular!

Answer would be most probably no. this is because relevant mechanism was never set up, and appropriate authority for such registration namely disability commissioner is hardly functional in most states. So, it is sure that we won't get special casual leave even for programmes organized by bit NGOs working in disability field. I was recently denied SCL for a programme held at a big level by a well known NGO in maharashtra citing this very Office memorandum of MSJE.

Hello Friends, I told you the problem with banks will never end and talking about circulars ,there are many which employees forget and VI are discouraged to avail all facilities. The solution could be VI person going through NGO to bank for availing everything given to general customer and regarding signature on cheques ,it will always be difficult for us, the solution could be two signatures on cheque where one is signed by sighted person. To verify. The other person could be joint account Holder or customer with the bank or a bank employee. Regards, Pankaj Kwatra Mantra- Try most difficult signatures with one or two striking points to remember and rest should be your artistry where sighted person could find it difficult to make out corrector incorrect. -Original Message- From: accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Amar Jain Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 8:18 PM To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Subject: Re: [AI] Regarding my new bank account opening with Standardchartedbank... Hi Prateek To my understanding there is one solution of this problem. Once such circular is issued by the supreme authority in this case say RBI or IBA, then all head offices of the bank should put a seal and sign or whatever to show that the circular is being implemented in their bank, and then the final copy should be circulated amongst people. The reason for this is only one. Any bank staff demands their own bank's circular. So this can be one good option. Right now every bank issue its own internal circular, copy of which is not available generally. And generally such circulars are not updated as per the changed circulars from higher authorities. So if the bank staff sees the seal, they are satisfied mentally.

Hi akhil, I think you no need to apologize for asking this important question. No matter how many times this question has come on the list and answered, the unfortunate part is that the same problem keep persisting again and again with someone or the other amongst us. Coming to your problem, Its ridiculous why these banks makes such specious decisions when it comes to a visually challenged person. From experience I can tell you that its very much possible to open individual account in any bank, and that too with no special document or formality. We have the wonderful RBI circular and IBA guidelines supporting this, and as you must be knowing, one can obtain all the services of a bank which are being provided to any other customer. The said circular and guideline is available on my website for download. You might like to visit my website at www.prateekagarwal.webs.com or www.prateekagarwal.tk One thing that I'd like to advise you in this regard is, please try talking to bank manager regarding the denial. Also, show them the circular and if still the problem persists, ask the respective authority to give you a written statement about basis of denial. We'll see further from there. A bit away from the context, i'm wondering if something in general can be done regarding this aggravating problem. Since we have many NGOs and their representatives on this list, can a program like this be designed to spread the awareness in bank employees? i often believe that the problem is more about lack of awareness then anything else, and though legal fight is an option, but in my personal opinion, spreading awareness and changing people's attitude can prove more important and handy. I'll be happy to work in association if some NGOs are willing to run such an awareness campaign. At least I can try helping in spreading such an awareness in rajasthan. Regards, Prateek agarwal.

Re: [AI] Mobile speak
no. the license of nuance talks is also avillable on two bases, i.e, EMI based, and simcard based. with EMI based license, you can not change your handset to use nuance talks, whereas with Simcardbased license, you can easily use talks on an another handset. however, simbased license costs more than that of EMI based. for more details, please visit: www.talknav.com with warm regards, bhavesh.

[AI] The Star Of 2011_MBA campus recruitment
The Times of India Mumbai Friday, February 25, 2011 TIMES CITY PAGE 5 MBA campus recruitment comes close to '07-08 boom Mahesh Benkar Highest Salary For S P Jain Was Nearly ?23 Lakh Hemali Chhapial TNN Mumbai: Management schools underwent the worst labour pains in the two years that went by Year-end placements went on for months on end and some campuses had to face the embarrassment of not being able to place all their graduates. The testing time seems to have ended and campus recruitment at business schools came close to the 2007-08 boom. At S P Jain Institute of Management, the average annual salary then was close to Rs 13 lakh; the average domestic salary for class of 2011 crossed Rs 14 lakh, said Sonali Kohli Mehra, faculty associate (external relations). Seventeen new companies were seen on the campus .The market has definitely picked up and it was a challenge to manage 71 companies on the campus. The highest salary on the S P Jain campus this year was Rs 23 lakh, offered to two students; one from the finance course and the other from the information management programme. At NMTMS too, placements concluded in a week and director Debashis Sanyal said most sectors were hiring in large numbers, except investment banking, which is probably a bit bearish even now Several companies that had frozen recruitment for some years are back. The IT sector has become niche. It recruited students for its insurance and banking verticals, he added. The average annual compensation is about Rs 13 lakh, and the entire batch of 390 students has been placed. While the highest salary was Rs 24 lakh a year, NMTMS had done a bit better in 2007, when the average campus salary was Rs 181akh. The University of Mumbai's Alkesh Dinesh Mody Institute for Financial and Management Studies saw most companies offer annual salaries ranging from Rs 3-5 lakh, hi 2009, two students were offered an annual compensation of Rs 6 lakh, which was the highest. This year, eight students have been offered that figure, said director Rajesh Arora. Placements are still on at the government-aided Jamnalal Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (JBTMS), where the average annual salary last year was Rs 12.83lakh. The placement team's spokesperson, Avni Jain, said the compensation was likely to go up by 15-20 %. In 2008, however, the average annual salary was Rs 13.81akh. Close to 25% of the batch received pre-placement offers and more than 100 companies registered to hire 120 students from JBTMS. Most of our regular recruiters like McKinsey, Hindustan Unilever Ltd. (HUL),Citibank, Procter Gamble (PG), ITC, Nomura, Reliance and Dabur have shown keen interest this year, said Jain. The Star Of 2011 Ekinath Khedekar is not used to being considered an equal. Hence, this year is a milestone for him. A visually challenged student who specialized in finance from JBIMS has been placed among other graduates for placements instead of listing him in the special students' category who are hired by firms which have special quota. Ekinath studied at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai, and has been raised by a single mother. The star of campus recruitment of the class of 2011, Ekinath has been working since his BA days.
