अमृतसर

पंजाब के गुरदासपुर जिले में एक एनजीओ द्वारा आयोजित नेत्र शिविर में
ऑपरेशन के बाद कम से कम 60 लोगों ने अपनी आंखों की रोशनी खो दी है।
अधिकारियों ने गुरुवार को बताया कि 16 लोग अमृतसर के गांवों के रहने वाले
हैं जबकि शेष अन्य गुरदासपुर जिले के रहने वाले हैं। इन सबको अमृतसर और
गुरदारसपुर के ईएनटी अस्पतालों में भर्ती कराया गया था।

घटना की पुष्टि करते हुए अमृतसर के उपायुक्त रवि भगत ने गुरुवार को यहां
कहा कि 16 प्रभावित मरीजों को सहायक प्रफेसर करमजीत सिंह की निगरानी में
शहर के ईएनटी अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया गया है। सिंह ने कहा कि उन सबने
स्थायी तौर पर अपनी दृष्टि खो दी है। भगत ने कहा कि उन डॉक्टरों का पता
लगाने के लिए उच्चस्तरीय जांच के आदेश दिए गए हैं जिन्होंने शिविर में
ऑपरेशन किया।

घटना का ब्योरा देते हुए अमृतसर के सिविल सर्जन राजीव भल्ला ने कहा कि
सभी मरीजों का ऑपरेशन तकरीबन 10 दिन पहले गुरदासपुर जिले के घुमन गांव के
एक नेत्र शिविर में किया गया था। यह घटना तब सामने आई जब सभी 16 मरीजों
ने उपायुक्त भगत से एनजीओ और संबद्ध चिकित्सकों के खिलाफ शिकायत दर्ज
कराने के लिए संपर्क किया। भल्ला ने कहा, 'यह पाया गया था कि कुल 60 मरीज
थे जिसमें से 16 अमृतसर के थे।' शेष गुरदासपुर जिले के थे।

Interesting development from Google. I just tested this and works fine. The

Re: [AI] Self Employment opportunities for VI persons

[Preeti Monga]

Dear Akash,

Thank you for writing to me. Opportunities are everywhere  it is for us to
look for them and then take them. Having said that, it is difficult for me
to make a presentation on this very vast subject. However,  anyone who is
interested to go into self-employment, has to do a thinking and  evaluation
excersize for himself/herself. Everyone has different skills, interests and
passions. Self-employment is to be  related to all these things and more.
More as in, how much investment of money, time and effort is he/she ready to
make.
So if anyone is interested in availing my assistance in helping them  with
self-employment, they may please contact me directly. I will share whatever
I can happily.

Warmly
Preeti

[AI] CONDEMNATION OF LATHI-CHARGE on Blind PROTESTERS in LAHORE

[avinash shahi]

JNU Visually Challenged Forum expresses its full solidarity with the
struggle waged by blind people in the city of Lahore for getting their
rightful dues in Pakistan. We strongly condemn the brutal lathi charge
whielded by the Lahore police on blind protesters on 3 December 2014
(International Disability Day). On that Day, Approximately 150
peaceful protesters were marching towards the Official resident of
Punjab Minister Shahbaz Sharif to submit their long-pending demand for
ending ad-hocism  and fulfillment of 2 per cent employment quota
mandated by the law.  But Lahore Police stopped them midway and
batoned  indiscriminately. As a result, several blind protesters got
severely  injured. See this video:
(http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2bn2d5_police-baton-charge-blind-protesters-in-lahore_news).
Such ruthless supression of democratic protest on the people by
elected governments anywhere in the world is highly contemptuous and
invite
strongest condemnation. We hope Pakistan's Prime Minister Mr Nawaz
Sharif will take strong note of the incident and will instruct Punjab
CM to take stringent action against the Police officers. We pray for
the speedy recovery of the injured protesters in our neighboring
nation.

Re: [AI] Several injured in police lathi charge on blind protesters - Daily The PatriotLAHORE:

[avinash shahi]

Amen Misbah
In fact blind people in Delhi need to organise a protest in front of
Pakistani Embasy in Delhi to register our soliderity with our
Pakistani Friends and resentment against the lathi-charge.  Such
ruthless supression of democratic protest on the people by elected
governments anywhere in the world is highly contemptuous and invite
strongest condemnation. I'd request Rungta sir to please plan a
protest in front of Pakistani Embasy. JNU Visually Challenged Forum

[AI] FYI: Call for Papers for Princeton South Asia Conference April 17-18 2014

[avinash shahi]

Technologies and Traditions| April 17-18, 2015


Call for Papers

Technology in South Asia has been a site of contestation and a vehicle
for claim making, it has recast tradition and been reworked by it.
However, the scholarship on technology and tradition in South Asia has
hinged on a forced binary of modernity and authenticity. The
‘alienness’ of technology has been pitted against the ‘nativeness’ of
tradition. Their relationship is viewed as antagonistic, representing
divergent trajectories of development. Polarized along the axes of
pre-colonial tradition and European modernity on the one hand, and
Gandhian technophobia and Nehruvian technocracy on the other, the
question of technology deserves further exploration.

The fourth annual Princeton South Asia Conference invites papers that
query the career of technology in South Asia and its relationship with
tradition. We welcome submissions from early career scholars (graduate
students and junior faculty) in all disciplines that engage with South
Asia. Papers may address, but need not be limited to the following
themes:
◾Communities and everyday practices
◾Technocracies and statehood
◾Media and consumption
◾Labor and livelihoods
◾Transnational flows

Proposal Guidelines

Proposals should include a title, 250-word abstract, institutional
affiliation, and contact information. Please submit proposals to the
following link by January 10, 2015: http://goo.gl/WDZQfi

The event will be held on April 17-18, 2015 in Princeton, NJ.
Princeton University will provide accommodation for two nights and
will contribute up to $300 toward transportation expenses. Questions
can be directed to: princeton.sas2...@gmail.com.

The organizing committee of the 2015 South Asia Conference would like
to acknowledge the generous support of Dr. Sudhir Patwardhan for the
image used above for this year’s workshop.

[AI] Bengalurean designs disabled-friendly car

[Pradeep banakar]

BENGALURU: Here is some good news for the physically disabled. A compact and 
battery-operated wheelchair-cum-car, developed by B V Narayana from AGS Layout 
in Banashankari VI Stage, can help the disabled drive without any hassle. 

The vehicle has only one handle which can be steered by those with a single 
limb. It works on a battery that can run up to 20km per charge of six hours. A 
single-seat wheelchair with shades around, it can b e folded and fit into a 
lift too. 

Narayana, who travelled 56,000 miles across 59 countries in 1979, was crippled 
in a road accident three years ago. A ligament tear rendered him partially 
handicapped, but he didn't lose his energy. 

"I travelled around India in 1978 with four friends on a bike. I had remodelled 
the bike into a five-wheeler. One friend later suggested designing such a bike 
for his disabled son. After my accident I started gathering parts of a scooter 
and a car seat to design this vehicle. It cost me Rs 1 lakh," Narayana said.

[AI] India: Women With Disabilities Locked Away and Abused - Human Rights Watch

[Sanchit Katiyar]

Women and girls with disabilities are dumped in institutions by their
family members or police in part because the government is failing to
provide appropriate support and services. And once they're locked up,
their lives are often rife with isolation, fear, and abuse, with no
hope of escape.
Kriti Sharma, researcher

(New Delhi) - Women and girls with disabilities in India are forced
into mental hospitals and institutions, where they face unsanitary
conditions, risk physical and sexual violence, and experience
involuntary treatment, including electroshock therapy. As one woman
put it, they are "treated worse than animals."

[AI] ET Blog by Meenakshi Lekhi: India's policies should empower disabled

[avinash shahi]

I still remember Meenakshi Lekhi was associated with the management of
my childhood school and often was deputed to pacify protesters like us
in the school... Its good to notice her reflecting on the challenges
faced by persons with disabilities.
http://blogs.economictimes.indiatimes.com/Chargesheet/international-persons-with-disabilities-day-indias-policies-should-empower-disabled/


India is home to over 26 million disabled people; almost 33% of them
sleep hungry and have higher rate of mortality. In New Delhi, there
are several lakhs disabled persons are in dire need for institutional
support from the Government of India. Policies to the benefit of
disabled persons have often been reduced to providing short-term
reliefs of reservations or subsidies. On the occasion of the UN
International Persons with Disabilities Day, we must remind ourselves
what the priorities of the state ought to be with regards to policy
formulation for disabled persons. As I had raised in the parliament
today during the zero hour, a renaissance of conceptualization of
disabled-empowerment policies is required in India. Public policy
towards the betterment of lives of disabled persons currently seems
short-sighted and poorly utilises the potential of these persons.

I strongly believe that physical disability ought to never be an
inhibition for one's holistic integration and participation in the
society. A disabled person is one who is differently abled, and every
individual has the potential to contribute to the nation's betterment
and live with dignity and respect. To this regard, I believe a
four-pronged approach is necessary. On the first level, we must
recognize that several disabled persons today are unemployed and hence
suffer severely for their bare sustenance. The situation thus
necessitates the Government of India to equip these individuals with
skill-sets which they could use to contribute constructively towards
the nation's development, and become financially independent. The
Government has thus planned to set up special skill development
institutes across the nation purely for the benefit of persons with
disabilities. Given that New Delhi has a significant disabled
population, I strongly believe that the city ought to have its own
'Industrial Training Centers' (ITIs) or 'Vocational Training Centers'
dedicated solely to persons with disability. This policy shall
catalyze to the process of financially empowering these individuals
and enable them to gain employment in different fields.

At the second level, I believe government intervention shouldn't stop
with just equipping these individuals but to further utilize their
skills and potential towards manufacturing those commodities which
could in turn benefit the disabled community at large. This is
furthering our Prime Minister's vision of ensuring equal opportunities
for disabled persons and making them economically self-reliant. The
Prime Minister has globally pitched for India to be the new
'manufacturing hub' and I believe that community-driven initiative of
involving these individuals in domestically producing goods and
services which are of benefit to the disabled community at large shall
be a landmark policy initiative.

Thirdly, India has had an exemplary track record of producing
para-athletes par excellence over the decades who have won at several
international sporting events including the recent Asian Para Games.
However, there isn't a single sporting complex in the nation for
disabled persons today. The Government is pioneering a project of
setting up para-sports complexes across the country, dedicated solely
to these athletes. Delhi being home to several Arjuna awardees,
Dronacharya awardees, Asiad and other national para games winners, I
recognize the necessity of a para-sports complex in Delhi and hope to
set up the same in the future.

Finally, Indians today remain woefully ignorant of the nation's
glorious cultural history, values and mythology. Examples of iconic
characters from Indian mythology like 'Ashtavakra' who embody the
spirit of self-empowerment and potential of persons with disabilities
ought to be included in books which are taught to children at a young
age. Our rich cultural history and its magnificent testimonies of
self-reliance ought to be revered by every individual in the country
for this characterizes the spirit of the Government's intent behind
disabled-empowerment policies.

I thus strongly believe that disabled-persons are valuable assets to
the nation and those who must be empowered to be able to live with
dignity and respect, at par with other individuals in the society. And
this holistic integration of the disabled community with mainstream
society can be achieved through this four-pronged initiative which I
pledge to work towards.

Highly atrocious and condemnable act on the part of the Pakistani

Row over DU economics paper for visually impaired. In yet another
examination gaffe at Delhi University, the microeconomics paper, specially
set for visually-impaired first-year BCom (H) students, turned out to be
unsuitable. Also, some questions that were common to both sets of papers,
had fewer marks allotted to them in the one for the visually-impaired. A
few weeks ago, visually-impaired students had requested the Equal
Opportunity Cell for a separate set of questions for them that did not
require them to draw or read graphs and diagrams. The EOC had forwarded the
request to the exam branch, which forwarded it to the departments framing
the questions. In this case, it was the department of commerce. More at
