[AI] Sad news

2018-11-11 Thread Asudani, Rajesh
Friends

I came to know yesterday that  our friend Mr. Ram babu is no more.
He was a sociologist and was a faculty in Tata Institute of Social Sciences, 
TISS Mumbai.
He had been living with cancer since long which finally took a toll on him in 
May this year.
He wrote in AI long ago, but was a sparing user of mobiles and computers, as 
advised by doctors.

I had the honor of knowing him personally and hosting him at Nagpur for some 
programmes and interacting with him in TISS.

May we be able to continue his legacy of academic persuit by the blind.

Re: [AI] disablity coach missing in newly modified trains

2018-11-11 Thread Santosh Singh
Dear Ravi,

I second your thoughts with regards to replies from certain members with
their sarcastic remarks.

We want equal opportunities in education,  employment, property rights . In
these important matters we want equality but at the same time  we should
not forget about our handicaps and it is here the govt should step with
accessibility and reasonable accommodation so that we get a chance to
compete with world on a equal footing.

We really need such exclusive coaches for PwD and railways should not
forget this in process of modernisation.

Both Mumbai metro and Delhi metro have seats exclusively reserved for PwD
in their coaches but during peak hours or sometimes otherwise these seats
are occupied by normal passengers. You have to wait till their conscience
wakes up to your physical requirements. Sometimes the normal passengers
refuse to vacate.This could have been avoided by providing a separate coach
for the PwD.

In my opinion we can lodge a complaint with https://pgportal.gov.in and
monitor the action status with help of RTI
So please file the greviance with proper train numbers etc to PMO and
Railway Ministry.This should be the first option.

The next we can do is file a PIL through state legal services authority.I
believe the advocate charges are nil or very less.

Re: [AI] disablity coach missing in newly modified trains

2018-11-11 Thread sampath raj rao
Hi my query may be silly, but I have it in my mind for a long time as
I haven't travelled in the disabled coach...
Is the disabled coach for reserved differently abled passengers or
unreserved differently abled passengers?

Is there any facility for differently abled passengers that makes the
compartment accessible like wheel chair friendly or audio
announcements of stations or any such ...?

If the dept is opting for changes it could be fruitful if it is
alloted for unreserved differently abled passengers and senior
citizens who could not be able to rush in the midst of other
passengers to catch a seat in the unreserved compartment...
