[AI] Hindustan Times Editorial: "With not even one per cent being disabled-friendly, colleges are difficult to access for many"

[avinash shahi]

It is a testimony to how far we are from realising the dream of smart
cities that not even 1% of India’s 789 universities, 37,204 colleges
and 11,443 stand-alone
higher education institutions are disabled-friendly. This startling
statistic was revealed by a forum for disabled students. Since 1995,
when the government
made it mandatory for educational institutions receiving aid from the
State to reserve 4% seats for people with disability, there has been
little improvement
in the situation. Despite the enactment of the Right to Education Act
in 2009, which promised free and compulsory primary education to every
child in the
country, less than 0.1% of India’s 2.68 crore people with disabilities
are enrolled in schools. As they move from primary to secondary and
higher education,
the figure drops to a dismal .01%.
The dearth of infrastructure that facilitates access for the
physically challenged — ramps, railings and accessible wash rooms – is
just one of the reasons
which prevent them from pursuing their studies. There is the absence
of trained staff and alternative teaching aides. In order to compete
with their peers,
the partially sighted, for instance, need specialised books and
material in Braille. Those are seldom provided. In the last decade,
since the non-profit
Samarthyam’s Centre for Accessible Environments began conducting
access audits for educational institutions, co-founder Anjlee Agarwal
doesn’t recall coming
across even one college that can be termed disabled-friendly.
Despite the laws having acquired more teeth to deal with this issue,
our planners and builders remain apathetic. The Rights of Persons with
Disabilities
Bill passed in 2016 sets the government a two-year deadline to ensure
that those with disability get barrier-free access in infrastructure
and transport
systems. Additionally, it holds the private sector — builders and
developers — accountable for creating an accessible environment. This,
experts say, is
a departure from the 1995 act which was largely toothless. The
punitive action for non-compliance can be a five-year prison term. So,
in accordance with
National Building Code announced in 2016, any new school and college
being planned has to be 100 per cent accessible.

Since building by-laws are a state subject, implementation across the
country is uneven. The few exceptions to this appear to be
government-led initiatives
in Odisha, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Still, putting up a ramp here and a
disabled-friendly toilet there doesn’t really turn things around. One
measure of
a civilised society should be the sensitivity it displays towards the
disabled. If a chunk of the 2.68 crore physically challenged people in
the country
cannot board a train, watch a movie or operate an ATM owing to lack of
access, and if we make it difficult for many of them to attend
college, all the
talk of a demographic dividend amounts to little.

[AI] here comes the most awaited feature from uber: Uber launches mobile web version in India, pilots offline search, call to get a ride and more

[Sunil Sangtani.]

read on for more details:

Uber today at its ‘Building for India’ event launched  m.uber.com, a
light mobile web version. It also piloted new app features – offline
search, request
for a guest and call to book a ride, ahead of roll out.

m.uber.com is targeted at riders who have basic smartphones, that can
support web browsing but cannot support mobile apps due to limited
storage space,
or want to book a ride from a tablet or computer.

It is almost identical to the Uber app with a few modifications for
improved performance on a browser, including the option to load the
map. Similar to
the app, m.uber.com will have option sign into your Uber account,
enter your destination and confirm your ride. The feature is already
live in India starting
today.

Uber Call to get a ride

Call to get a ride will also be useful for feature phone users and in
areas with limited network or those who use a smartphone but have
limited memory
capacity or are running out of their data plan.

How it works:

list of 3 items
• Riders can call single nationwide phone number and enter a numeric
code displayed on signage to help Uber identify their location.
• Once the ride is confirmed, the rider will also be sent a text
message with information on the car and driver partner.
• An Uber will arrive at the exact location for easy pickups.
list end

Uber is currently piloting call to get a ride feature in Pune.

For riders using the app in limited network areas there is a new
offline search option by caching the top points of interest in the
city so that riders
can enter their destinations in the app without having to wait for the
connection. This will automatically work if the app detects limited
networks.

Request for a Guest will allow riders be book an Uber for a loved one
from from their Uber app no matter where the rider or guest is
located. The guest
does not need a smartphone or the Uber app in order to ride.

How it works:

list of 4 items
• To use this feature, the person requesting the ride for a guest can
simply tap “Where to?” as they normally would, then choose who is
riding above their
pickup location.
• The rider will receive trip information in an SMS text message —
including ETA, car type, and driver contact information, enabling them
to coordinate
with the driver directly.
• The driver will see the rider’s name, and be able to contact that
person, too (through a masked number, for privacy on both sides).
• The ride will be charged to the requestor’s card on file unless the
requestor selects cash as the payment.
list end

Both these features will roll out in the next few weeks.

At the event, Daniel Graf, Vice President and Head of Product at Uber said:

block quote
In India, we have a strong team of over 150 engineers and product
champions in Bangalore and at the newly inaugurated Hyderabad
engineering facility working
on innovations and localizations for markets around the world. As a
part of our efforts to enable global access to Uber, we’re focusing on
two key areas
for riders – building solutions for those who don’t have access to the
Uber app and enabling our existing rider app to work better in
emerging markets.
Customer obsession is a key theme for us – we want to make sure we
understand the rider, their needs, the barriers, and then build from
there. We believe
these features will help us better serve our rider needs and are very
excited about the roll out.
