Re: [AI] Problems in opening Demat account

[Tilakprasad Joshi]

Hi!

When I wanted to have my Demat Account I didn’t have to face any
difficulties however they did suggested me not to take Online facility
and use a cheque for transaction purpose but I manage to explain them
that there is no security risk if they offer me Online Account, I am
having Demat Account with Tata Capital Securities.

Warm Regards,
Tilak.

Re: [AI] India's 1st Blind-friendly Train Runs Between Mysuru, Varanasi

[bala9119]

Sir,
In my understanding of the prevailing discussion, this is not the
problem from the government but us. it is indubitably true that
"single" solution is not feasible for the disabled especially for the
visually impaired. in that sense, the accessibility of Braille to one
is inaccessible to another substantial portion of the blind
population. as per Kanchan mam's view, it is now become very evident
that the problem of finding the right solution lies within us but
unfortunately, the so-called "primary stakeholders" are ruining it. of
course the government's efforts are appreciated, but an effort without
effective research leads to poor implementation and result. we,
including you, know very well that Braille is not the lone suitable
option for mobility.
cheers.

Hi Sanjay,

Technically speaking, you had two options: 1st was to request two
senior employees of the brokerage house to attest your thumb
impression and 2nd is to get it notarized, in which case brokerage
house can very well ask for the charges which they have incurred (try
and get an invoice for it as they are corporates and their notary
official should not have any problem in issuing an invoice). But if
you have opted for notary, the broker is not liable to pay any charges
incurred for the same.

Re: [AI] Maneka raises objections to proposed Disability Bill

[shraddha edke]

Here it goes:

New Delhi:  Union Minister Maneka Gandhi who is part of a ministerial
panel to examine the proposed Disability Bill has raised objections to
it saying that the bill does not lay criterion for determination of
mentally disabled persons.

“It (bill) does not differentiate between mentally ill and mentally
disabled person. But there is a difference between the two. If a
person is mentally ill like schizophrenic, how can he be given a job,”
Gandhi said talking to reporters on the sidelines of a function.

According to the present law on disability, three per cent reservation
for disabled people is mandatory in all categories of government jobs.

The matter was raised in the meeting of Group of Ministers (GoM) which
held its first meeting today to examine the Right of Persons with
Disabilities Bill 2014.

The GoM is headed by Home Minister Minister Rajnath Singh with Women
and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi, Tribal Affairs Minister
Jual Oram and Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thaawar Chand
Gehlot as its member.

Gandhi said the Bill needs to be worked on further before presenting
to the Cabinet.

The Bill makes accessibility a mandatory requirement under the law. It
proposes entitlement for persons with at least 40 per cent disability
to certain benefits such as reservations in education and employment,
preference in government schemes, etc.

In the case of a mentally ill person, the district court may award
guardianship to take care of him and take all legal binding decisions
on his behalf in consultation with such person.

The Bill was drafted by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment and
seeks to replace the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995.

It imposes a penalty of Rs 10,000 or imprisonment up to six months for
violation of any provision of the Act.

Re: [AI] Announcing the launch of Accessible Menu reading app - Good Food Talk

[Prashant Verma]

Dear Amar,
It will be great if you could approach Zomato on our behalf. Please use the
text below to create a write up for senior management of restaurants. I am
getting a lot of queries from users and need to devote some time to it. as
you know, I have taken this initiative totally out of personal interest and
I have to primarily give my time to DAISY Consortium. 

For restaurant owners
 
Read on to find out how we can help you make your menu completely accessible
for people with visual impairments and other reading difficulties in India.
or click here to get in touch.


Ever wondered how visually impaired people read a menu?

The truth is, it's a huge problem!
 There are more than 15 million people with visual impairments in India.
Their conditions range from those who are totally blind through to people
whose vision can't be corrected by even the strongest of glasses. And then
there are millions of people who due to old age cannot read small print or
read in low light.
 As a responsible business house do you accommodate the needs of this large
section of the society?

Some restaurants offer Braille and special large print versions of their
menus but did you know that less than 10% of people with visual impairment
can read Braille?
 And what happens if you change the menu more than a couple of times a year?
 
So how do most visually impaired people find out what's on the menu when
they go out to eat?
87% rely on a dining companion or waiter to read them the menu.
91% told up that being able to read the menu themselves makes the dining
experience more inclusive and enjoyable.

Visually impaired people are sociable creatures. They love food and also
like to eat out. And above all else, they value their independence.
Basically, they just want to be treated like anybody else.

The Solution?

Good Food Talks is a platform that empowers people with visual impairments
to access and browse
 restaurant menus on their smartphones,tablets and computers in the way that
most suits them and their vision, whether out and about or at home.
 Customers can:

Listen to the menu
View it in a large text format
View it with inverted colours
View it using the Open Dyslexic font

Good Food Talks is and always will be free to access for all users. This
revolutionary service is already being used by hundreds of thousands of
people in the UK and now it is in India!

"I love Good Food Talks! I now feel confident going to restaurants with
friends. I am now able to read the menu and make choices for myself and even
order for others when I am throwing a treat. Earlier, much of the time was
lost in me listening to someone reading out the menu to me in the noisy
environment. And I generally made a choice after listening to the first few
items and always felt shy to ask for the prices."
Veena, Delhi 

How do you get your restaurant on Good Food Talks?

You can yourself create an account and Submit your menu. Alternatively, get
in touch with us and we will take care of the rest.

Fundamentally two points:

1. Let's reach out to main apps in this industry like Zomato and ask them to
incorporate a feature which will redirect customers with visual impairment
or elderly people to this app for assisted menu reading.

Pankaj is the managing director of Zomato and can be reached out at:
pan...@zomato.com

I am happy to reach out to management level at good restaurants to begin
with -let me know your interest and appreciate if you have a ready write-up
to share, and once awareness is created, we can also reach out to small
restaurant  runners.

2. Let's make it a point that wherever we dine out, we at least get a hard
copy of the menu either properly scanned or typed for submitting on this
portal.

Great thought and a job well done by you and team.

Blind organisations can think only from their perspective.  either 
government or true representatives of disability sector as a whole cannot 
have such a narrow perspective.  Whether you like it or not, for deaf-blind 
persons braille is the best option.  Those who think having braille symbols 
in public places is not a solution should do their homework again.  Any 
disability organisation which might have advocated braille in public places 
have done so, considering the needs of all disability categories.  Let there 
be braille and audio.  We soil our hands while reading braille symbols not 
because of braille but because of uncivilised behaviour of our people.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/visually-challenged-girl-tops-pg-course-without-braille-aid/story-kt8hGT86KDgMAuyL07C0rK.html


A visually challenged Jharkhand girl has topped a postgraduate degree
course in Ranchi university and even cleared the National Eligibility
Test (NET), all without the aid Braille.

Currently pursuing an MPhil at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New
Delhi, 27-year-old Sweta Mandal secured a gold medal in her masters in
human rights by using software that converts text to speech.

“I listened to the journals and textbooks. It helped me understand my
subjects,” she said.

Side effects from a radiation treatment for a brain tumour robbed
Sweta of her vision when in class 10. Despite the ailment, she managed
to secure 72% in her board exams by listening to recordings her
parents had made of her lessons. A scribe helped her write her
answers.

“Since I wasn’t a born blind, I could not learn Braille that well. My
parents were the greatest support for me. They gave me the courage to
pursue higher studies,” said Sweta, who will be conferred the gold
medal for 2011-13 by Jharkhand Governor Droupadi Murmu at the Ranchi
university’s convocation ceremony this Wednesday in which toppers from
2013 to 2015 will be felicitated.

Mandal completed her schooling from DAV Chaibasa, graduated from the
National Institute of Open School with 65% in higher secondary and
scored 65% in sociology from IGNOU
