Re: [AI] Please note Finance Bill 2015 benefit for disabled Fwd: Tax Relief To Family Members of Differently Abled
hello, first of all, thank you so much for this info. just a couple of clarifications required: 1. with respect to the point 1st, what kind of proofs would be required? The point is broad enough to include a lot of expenses, which can't be substantiated with evidences in all cases. 2. is this deduction in addition to the deduction available under section 80U?

Hi, Payal Ma'am, Could you please share this article's source link? Thanks. On 4/26/15, payal jethra payal.jet...@gmail.com wrote: Restaurants join the dots Raul Dias,TNN | Apr 26, 2015, 05.24 AM IST Two years ago when visually impaired Bharatnatyam dancer, Gangamma, 22, visited the US for a performance series, she was amazed at how aware people were about visual impairment. Almost every restaurant, for instance, offered her a Braille or audio menu. For the first time in her life she could order a meal for herself without asking for help as she often did back home in Bengaluru. Around the same time, Bhavna Jain was looking forward to doing something different at her vegetarian restaurant Om in Bengaluru's tony neighbourhood of Koramangala. A chance encounter with Gangamma led Jain to seek the help of EnAble India, an NGO that works with the differently abled, to come up with a Braille menu. She followed it up with an audio menu soon after. Om now has a steady stream of visually impaired and other differently abled people coming in to dine. Moses Chowdari Gorrepati, programme manager, training and solutions at EnAble India, says that creating the Braille menu became a student project for the NGO. From selecting the paper to getting Braille printers, everything was undertaken by our 2013 batch of students.It gave the students a sense of purpose, but it also allowed visually impaired people to dine with dignity, says Gorrepati. `May I Help You?' started as a random event to mark World Disability Day at Mumbai's Copper Chimney on December 3, 2009. Every diner was handed a Braille menu that was read out to them by visually impaired volunteers from the National Association for the Blind (NAB). But the idea stuck on. To day, the upscale multi-cui sine restaurant has its own permanent set of leather-bound Braille menus. Not everyone who is visually impaired can read Braille. My visual impairment was gradual and it was only recently that I became totally blind, says Hyderabad-based disability consultant Raghavendra Satish Peri who is ra Satish Peri who is struggling to master Braille. Although a Braille menu is a great idea, restau rants need to adopt a more holistic ap proach for visually impaired customers, right from soft skills training for their staff to providing al ternatives for diners like me who can't read Braille. Chennai's Ka lakkal Cafe in Kottur puram understands the needs of diners like Peri. Positioned as India's first `inclusive' cafe, this rampequipped cafe is run by Vidya Sagar, an NGO working for children and adults with special needs. Not only does the cafe have Braille menus, but it also has pictorial menus, tactile walls and even some eating aids -nifty apps like All Access where users can scan logos and QR codes to access menus. Chungwa, a 40-year-old Chinese and Thai restaurant in Delhi's Greater Kailash area, recently teamed up with Radio Mirchi's corporate social responsibility division and NAB to come up with a Braille menu. Chicken Formosa is just a touch away for visually impaired foodie Naveed Khatri and his friends from NAB. India is home to around 12 million visually impaired people and providing us with menus we can decipher is important. After all, we pay the same as anyone else, asserts Khatri. So, what stops other eateries from offering Braille menus? Besides, apathy , it's the high cost involved in their production, says Nidhi Arora, founder of Esha, a non-profit initiative that makes Braille cards and tactile maps. Esha was also making Braille menus until a few years ago but stopped as there wasn't enough demand. Gorrepati's students at EnAble have also made Braille menu cards for another Bengaluru restaurant, Shanthi Sagar, at around Rs 400 per piece. This was a simple card paper menu.But the price rises to around Rs 1,000 for the fancier, spiral-bound black and yellow art paper menu we made for Om, he says.

[AI] Fw: [WeThePwd:1659] Insurance Cover to Disabled Persons
- Original Message - From: The Desi DISpatch To: GG Dispatch On Disability ; GG MHA News ; wethe...@googlegroups.com ; YG TN Dis Rights ; BS - DD Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2015 11:04 PM Subject: [WeThePwd:1659] Insurance Cover to Disabled Persons 24-April-2015 Press Information Bureau Government of India Ministry of Finance As per Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) mentally challenged people get covered under medical insurance policies sold by Public Sector General Insurance Companies (PSGICs). Presently, the PSGICs provide mental illness cover to children if covered with or both parents simultaneously in the policy. Some PSGICs also provide mental illness cover to the persons under Employer-Employee Group Health Insurance Policies. While Life Insurance Risk coverage is offered to handicapped and mentally challenged persons by the life insurance companies (both public sector and private sector) based on their board approved underwriting policy, the disclosures made in the proposal form, every life insurance company will rate the persons to be insured from the point of view of risk assessment and underwriting as standard or sub-standard lives in order to determine acceptance of proposal and the premium to be charged. While there are no restrictions for providing insurance facilities to handicapped and mentally challenged persons, it is the professional decision of the insurance company based on their own risk bearing capacity and approach. There are no specific Regulations/Guidelines issued by the Authority in this regard. The Government of India is implementing a scheme by name ‘NIRAMAYA’ through which the handicapped and mentally challenged persons are covered for medical treatment upto Rs. 1 lakh. Aam Admi Bima Yojana (AABY) is also a Government Social Security Scheme being administered through Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) that provides life/accident insurance protection to the rural and urban poor persons (including rural landless households) and people belonging to certain identified vocational groups. One such identified vocation is “Physically Handicapped Self-Employed Persons”. IRDAI has also notified IRDA (Rural and Social Sector Obligations) 2002 mandating every insurer to cover the specified number of lives from the defined social sector market segment. Of the categories of lives that are defined as social sector lives, “other categories of persons” is one of the categories, which includes persons with disability as defined in the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights, and Full Participation) Act, 1995 and who may not be gainfully employed; and also includes guardians who need insurance to protect spastic persons or persons with disability. This was stated by Shri Jayant Sinha, Minister of State in Ministry of Finance in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today. * DSM/KA http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=118691 -- - EMAIL OVERLOAD?

I haven't used Fin-One yet but I might have to deal with Fin-One in the Future so that now I'll not be able to tell you about it's accessibility. However I have used SAP with NVDA but unfortunately it is not at all accessible it doesn't even read user name and password fields. Therefore it's my kind request try to make NVDA accessible with as many Business Applications as possible but specially with SAP and Fin-one and BANCs because as I said earlier these applications are widely used.

However, I experienced it today. JAWS was not reading a clickable region below retail option on www.yesbank.in It led me to take up the matter with Yes Bank IT department, but as it turned out to be, NVDA worked and due to JAWS inability I was quarrelling with the Yes bank. NVDA was also helpful when JAWS was not reading any calendar dates earlier. Why one should pay so much for JAWS when a freeware can do a better job. I only wish that NVDA was as smooth JAWS after installation or at least ideal settings were shared with the users. -- *** I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.

However, I experienced it today. JAWS was not reading a clickable region below retail option on www.yesbank.in It led me to take up the matter with Yes Bank IT department, but as it turned out to be, NVDA worked and due to JAWS inability I was quarrelling with the Yes bank. NVDA was also helpful when JAWS was not reading any calendar dates earlier. Why one should pay so much for JAWS when a freeware can do a better job. I only wish that NVDA was as smooth JAWS after installation or at least ideal settings were shared with the users. -- *** I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something.

Re: [AI] Nagpur kids design wheelchair that can climb stairs
Hi, Could someone please share this article's source link? Thanks. On 4/23/15, Kotian, H P hpkot...@rbi.org.in wrote: All Copying a post which did not get on the list. Harish Kotian Quoting: Nagpur kids design wheelchair that can climb stairs Apr 23, 2015, 03.24AM IST TNN NAGPUR: Public buildings and spaces in India are long way from being barrier free, a condition essential to allow physically challenged people to move around. To overcome the problem, four students from the Institute for Technology and Management (ITM), Kamptee, have built a stair climbing wheelchair. They did so as a part of their third year research and development project. These mechanical engineering students - Mayur Shewali, Garima Gupta, Anubhav Choudhrai and Dippeksha Rane - are hoping to soon receive funds to make their project more effective and usable. Our wheelchair is working perfectly but since we were facing a financial crunch, we were only able to make a miniature version that can take up to 40 kgs, said Mayur. Such chair climbing wheelchairs are very expensive and have to usually be bought from abroad since India does not have the technology to manufacture them. From what we know, there is only one company in our country that sells these chairs and that too is manufactured abroad. This makes it very expensive, especially for the poor, he continued. The group hopes to make the life of the physically challenged who cannot afford such expensive chairs easier. If mass produced, the approximate price per unit for the chair designed by these kids would be around Rs 25,000. It can be even less if we remove or modify certain features such as the joystick. The chair can be made semi-manual, allowing the price to fall at least by another Rs 6,000, said Shewali. The price can also rise if customers wish to add features such as gesture recognition that can let the user control the chair through hand gestures. It is also adjustable making it easier to pack along with luggage. These final year students hope that by introducing this technology they will be able to help half a lakh physically challenged people and be able to make their life more meaningful. How it functions Rather than wheels, this wheelchair has caterpillar tracks which can be seen on a much larger scale in tanks. It consists of small, electrically powered wheels which move a track made up of a profile belt. This causes the wheelchair to ride along the moving track, just like the wheels in a car run along the road. These belts are put onto the chair at a 40 degree angle which is the usual degree at which staircases are built, this allows the user to climb the staircase. But, the degree at which the belts are is also adjustable through a slot if and when required by the user. In a nutshell * Made within country contributing to the Indian economy * Wheelchairs can climb stairs where ramps are absent * Cheaper cost and hence cheaper to buy for the poor * Can also overcome other obstacles such as bumpy roads * Helping handicapped live fuller, richer and more normal lifestyles (Reporting by Shyla Bhagwagar) With thanks and regards (Rajesh Asudani) AGM MIU Reserve Bank Of India Nagpur Phone: 0712 2806358 A-pilll = Action coupled with Positivity, Interest, Love, Logic and Laughter Caution: The Reserve Bank of India never sends mails, SMSs or makes calls asking for personal information such as your bank account details, passwords, etc. It never keeps or offers funds to anyone.

[AI] Unique exhibition at the National Museum makes culture accessible for visually-impaired-TheHindu
Unique exhibition at the National Museum makes culture accessible for visually-impaired It was a heart-warming sight to see the visually-impaired follow a tactile path that was smooth in some places and rough at others where they had to stop, at an exhibition in the National Museum on Friday. There was even a tactile banam (a Santali music instrument) that they could pick up, touch and feel. The visit was organised after a day-long national workshop to discuss and deliberate how museums can be made friendly for people with disabilities (PwDs). Representatives from a number of museums, along with NGOs working with PwDs, discussed best practices from across the world and how they could be implemented in the Indian scenario. The workshop comes two decades after the government passed the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, and later ratified a 2007 United Nations Convention Declaration that reaffirms all differently-abled persons must enjoy all human and fundamental rights. This includes the right to freely participate in the cultural life of the community, and to enjoy the arts. According to the 2011 Census, India has 27 million differently-abled persons. The participants felt knowing more and enjoying the culture and heritage of the country is one of the essential components of their personal growth. However, their participation in cultural life and enjoyment of arts has been somewhat restricted due to limited sensitisation at cultural institutions. National Platform for Rights of Disabled convener P. Muralidharan said a majority of institutions have yet to either implement affirmative action or were doing it without the spirit. There was a call for museums in the country to popularise the use of Braille, audio systems and tactile graphics to promote cultural experience among PwDs. The National Museum revealed its plans to make its exhibits more accessible to PwDs with the museum opening a tactile gallery this October. The exhibition was set up in collaboration with the National Museum, Unesco and NGO Saksham.

Re: [AI] Unique exhibition at the National Museum makes culture accessible for visually-impaired-TheHindu
1. The figure of disabled as per 2011 census has wrongly been cited in the article. The Hindu's another article contradicts this (http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/census-reveals-only-marginal-increase-in-the-differentlyabled-population/article5516279.ece). It was not expected from The Hindu,uttterly irresponsible reporting. 2. could anybody on the list share more details of the discussed workshop in the article? I'm sure people may have attended if at all it happened without putting public notice for the stakeholders?
