Re: [AI] Issues while using electronics media ..

[Vikas Kapoor]

Sometimes, some of the commands could not be executed in the virtual cursor 
mode. Now, instead of turning the virtual cursor off just for one stroke and 
then turning it on again, the freedom scientific gave this option, that is, if 
a single stroke is to be hit, just press insert + 3 and whatever keystroke you 
will hit after insert+3, will pass over the virtual cursor. Any link that is 
not opening should be tried this way first.

The following Icici Insurance website is inaccessible.

The problem is that as we enter on the login link, a child window opens
having different options to choose from. Like agent login, customer login
etc. But this is not accessible through the keyboard. The mouse user can
select the appropriate option but the keyboard user cannot.
I took up the matter with the customer service. They assure that the problem

Could anything be done regarding this?

Hi All,

Since India is actively on the way to adopt digital economy and promoting it
That means every content, Web sites , software should be 100 %
accessible to everyone . Even though some Web sites says our product and
service are  fully accessible, we faced some accessibility issue ...

So I want from you such issues that we are being faced in daily uses of web
sites, softwares and digital contents ..

Me and one of my friend are trying to solve such issue ...It could be
beneficial to all of us ..

Looking forward for your guidance and responses ..

hi all!
hope all doing good!
As the subject says it all, my friends from social work department are
trying to do something for few of the government colleges & they need
few requisites of which, wheel chair is one of those.
If you guys are aware of someone with a wheel chair and, if my friends
could borrow this for a day, do let me know please...
Further, please do know that this is possible only for those living in
the Bengaluru area & not any other place as that would be not
accessible for them to reach out to...
Hope I am clear on this...
By the way, please forgive me moderator if this is against the rule of
this mailing list but I am posting it here as it is pertaining
disability though.
So, hope it is fine & do correct me if  i am wrong on this...

[AI] ***Visit to Chhhatrapati Shivaji Vastu Sangrahalaya***

[Blind Graduates' Forum of India (BGFI)]

Hi all,

Greetings from The Blind Graduates Forum of India (BGFI)! BGFI is back
with yet another interesting program with a visit to Chhatrapati
Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya!

About the Museum:
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, formerly known as the
Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, is one of the premier art and
history museum in India. Situated on the southern tip of Mumbai on the
'Crescent Site', the Museum building is a fine example of the
Indo-Saracenic style of architecture.

Today this building is listed as a Grade I Heritage Building and has
been awarded the '2010 UNESCO Asia – Pacific Heritage Award' for
Cultural Heritage Conservation. It has been awarded first place for
Heritage Building Maintenance by the Indian Heritage Society. The
Museum offers a perfect leisure day out for all its visitors where you
can engage with a world-class art collection and participate in
fun-n-learn activities.

The Museum has almost 30 artefacts with a detailed audio description
available for each and every artefact, thus making this a very
interesting as well as fully accessible experience for persons with
vision impairment.

So what are you waiting for? Join us for a fun-filled experience on
the 24th of December 2016 at 10:30am. There is no entry fee for
persons with vision impairment yet a charge of 40 rupees shall be
payable for availing the audio description service. As it will be a
day off for certain Museum staff, we encourage participants to come
with their escorts if possible. There's an entry fee of 70 rupees for
every escort.

The museum can be conveniently reached by taking Bus 111 from CST and
bus 106 from Chirchgate stations or by taxi service. The slots are
limited so please register yourself by giving a call to Santosh
(+919930775758) or Abhimanyu (+919819259421).

Regards,
The BGFI team

I've read the RPD Bill and would say as far as the implementation is
concerned, its a weaker   law than the PWD act 1995. The office of
CCPD remains a lame duck court having only recommendationary powers in
the Bill. the relaxation in the upper age is stipulated for five years
in education, its however missing in the matters of employment. Many
progressive provisions are there in the Bill, it would be however
difficult to see these implemented. Weak CCPD and emphases on
identified posts and making section 33 independent of section 34 is a
cruel joke. reviewing of post at an interval of three years without
provisioning 'keeping in view the technological advancement' is
shocking. Retaining the phrase 'within the limit of its economic
capacity and development' is a blot on the disability activists and
the sector which marred the PWD act also. Bureaucrats have watered
down the objective of the law and have reserved discretionary powers
to frame rules to guide the law as they wish. with the passage of the
RPD Bill,The PWD act 1995 stands repealed. But what would happen in
the upcoming recruitment advertisements is everybody's guess. Though
the Law mentions that RPD Bill will be in addition not in dereliction
of the existing law, I still wonder when the president will give his
assent and new office memos will be incorporated in the government
departments recruitments cells. Till then, lets continue to languish
in the guessing mode.

Dear All:
I am provoked to thank Mr. Subhash Vashisht for underlining various
issues and (I have been told that) there are many other similar issues
in the new Act. (Due to some technical reasons, I am unable to respond
in the same string where Mr. Vashisht wrote just a while ago). It is
my sincerest appeal (in my individual capacity) to disabled friends
and other well-wishers to understand that history does not teach us to
indulge in euphoria, but to remain alert. It is all the more required
when our leaders indulge in thank giving for the Government, rather
than educating the community and involving it in the deliberations by
procuring copy of the bill before it is enacted. . I wish if the
amendments and the final draft would have been shared with us before
its enactment. How disabled community can allow in a democratic
country some enactment where the bill is not shared with them at the
advance stage? IN this sense, it is no different from the ordinance
root, against which our friends had fought so vigorously just a few
years back. Particularly noticeable is that the bureaucracy has
cleverly taken many powers on substantial matters in its own hand
rather than clarifying in the act itself. I am not in a position to
give elaborate examples here as unfortunately I am caught completely
at some other fronts for some time. However, I am sure that the line
of discussion that Mr. Vashisht has started will be taken further.
Today I also heard Pankaj Sinha (a blind advocate) at a press
conference underlining many such shortcomings of the bill (now an act)
for PWD. Only one issue I would like to share at this moment. I had
hoped, particularly because I fought for the rights of our community
in the insurance sector, that the new law would provide in unequivocal
terms that in any scheme disabled persons will not be liable for any
extra payment or reduced benefits. We may still fight for it in the
court and perhaps win as well. However, I have been told that the Act
does not make such a bold statement which is otherwise already
accepted by the judiciary in the case that I earlier filed on this
issue. Instead, the act emphasizes that the Government will frame
insurance policy for the disabled. It means that the focus is on a
separate policy, and not so much on universal equality for disabled in
the insurance sector. There could be many such examples. Of course,
the Act still needs to be ratified by the President. It needs to be
notified in the gazette. And the Government is also required to make
appropriate rules for its implementation. The scope for intervention
would be somewhat reduced now. Still, I would suggest that instead of
rejoicing, it is crucial for us to be not only vigilant, but to make
effective interventions at each of these levels. Good if leaders come
forward. However, we will not surrender ourselves to anyone
completely. I hope that each one of us, in whatever capacity we can,
we will not allow the vested interests of any kind to compromise with
our rights. Let us organize discussion on this as early as possible;
