Re: [AI] RBI mandates annual disclosure of complaints for Pension and facilities for senior citizens/differently abled

[Amar Jain]

Certainly these banks are covered.

One has to launch a complaint with the bank. However one can use RBI’s 
complaint management system.

RE: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Ronald Jason Escrader]

I agree with you on that note.

Of Tanmay Srivastava

Subject: Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

 

According to me now disability is not the subject of welfare.

Now it should not be the part of ministry of social justice and empowerment.

It is the high time to make aware the government that government should create 
separate ministry for the empowerment of people with disabilities.

Looking forward to everyone's response.

Press Statement

 

The National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled (NPRD) has issued the 
following statement:

 

Union Budget: Disabled Cold Shouldered

 

The NPRD lodges its strong protest at the substantial reduction in budgetary 
support to the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities. Even the 
meagre and inadequate Rs. 1325.39 estimated last time, has been further reduced 
to Rs. 1171.77 crores this time.

 

This substantial reduction of nearly 12 per cent will adversely impact various 
schemes and programmes that are being undertaken by the department. The “Scheme 
for Implementation for Persons with Disabilities Act” sees a cut in its 
allocation from Rs. 251.50 to Rs. 209.77 crores. The National Trust which 
caters to persons with autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities etc. 
is also witnessing lesser budgetary support. It has been reduced from Rs. 39.50 
to Rs. 30.00 crore. Even allocations to the National Programme for Prevention 
of Blindness have been reduced by nearly 50 per cent from Rs. 20.00 to Rs. 
10.50 crores as compared to last year. Grant in aid to state governments have 
also been reduced substantially. 

 

When more disabled people are joining the ranks of the unemployed, it would 
have been prudent to enhance allocations for the National Handicapped Finance 
and Development Corporation, to enable it to provide loans to small businesses 
set up by disabled people. On the contrary budgetary support to the NHFDC has 
been drastically reduced from Rs. 41 crore provisioned in the 2019-20 budget to 
a mere Rs. 0.01 crore this time. The announcements made to vigorously pursue 
privatization of various public sector undertakings will adversely impact the 
disabled also. With the government unrelenting on the demand to extend 
reservations to the private sector, shrinking employment avenues in the 
government sector will see the ranks of the unemployed disabled bourgeoning.

 

The total expenditure earmarked for the national programmes for welfare of 
persons with disabilities has been reduced from Rs. 655 to Rs. 584 crores. The 
total towards schemes/projects has been reduced from Rs. 780.00 to Rs. 709.77 
crores, this time. The total expenditure towards Social security & welfare has 
seen a reduction from Rs. 1126.79 to Rs. 988.59. Disability pension continues 
to be stagnant at Rs. 300 for the past many years.

 

In the pandemic situation, which saw a huge escalation in the number of mental 
health cases, the allocations made towards mental health displays the total 
lack of acknowledgement of the crisis. Allocations to the National Mental 
Health Programme remains constant at Rs. 40.00 crore. No support has been 
earmarked for the National Institute of Mental Health & Research for the last 
two years. However, unlike last time, there has been a slight increase in 
allocations to the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, 
Bengaluru and the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoli Regional Institute of Mental 
Health, Tezpur.

 

What is even more glaring is the complete omission of flagship programme 
started by this government the Accessible India campaign. 

 

The government remains content with bestowing divine status and a label of 
divyang, even while pursuing policies that confine disabled citizens to the 
margins. Displaying complete indifference, during the entire two-hour long 
rhetoric filled speech by the Finance Minister, not once did she refer to 
disabled persons. Disabled atmas don’t matter. In earlier budgets, the disabled 
were disregarded or neglected. This time they have been cold shouldered. This 
is deplorable. The NPRD calls upon the disabled community to rise in unison and 
protest this disabled-unfriendly budget.

We have already stated, that the government must be criticised where
it is going wrong, but it should also be praised for what it does
right.
Anyone who knows how to read between the lines will easily understand
NPRD's real intention.
Sandesh Sir has already pointed out the glorious history of NPRD,
which is all available in public domain.
So, while we must continue our struggle to make the government listen
and agree to our demands, but we mustn't let some organizations
highjack disability for their vested interests.
We shall oppose any such move tooth and nail.

  Hi list,




  I am happy to share that RBI has considered one of our suggestion as part of 
disclosure framework on complaints for banks, which forms part of annual report.




  As part of this framework, a banking company will be required to disclose 
complaints relating to Each bank if one of the grounds is 'Pension and 
facilities for senior citizens/differently abled'. But... Here is the catch. 
This should fall within top five grounds of complaint to form part of annual 
report.




  Having said that, it is a good step, as any data collected on this ground 
will also form part of supervisory review and may lead to stricter review in 
case a bank is found to be receiving many complaints on these grounds.




  This forms part of the circular dated January 27, 2021 and is currently only 
applicable to Scheduled Commercial Banks (excluding RRBs).

  Amar Jain

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Sharad Philip]

Looks like its budget cuts everywhere meaningful 

Press Release
1 February 2021

Protest the 30% cut in allocation to ICDS-
AIFAWH 
ALL INDIA FEDERATION OF ANGANWADI WORKERS AND HELPERS


30% Cut in Budget allocation to ICDS when the malnutrition in the country is 
all time high
NO increase in wages of anganwadi workers and helpers 
in spite of the exemplary work to fight pandemic and malnutrition 
 
The Modi government has again made drastic cut in social sector expenditure in 
the budget 2021-22 at a time when it is utmost necessary to increase the 
allocation to the Centrally Sponsored Schemes which address malnutrition and 
health.
Budget allocation for Umbrella ICDS(Integrated Child Development Services 
Scheme) has been drastically cut down by 30% from the allocation made in the 
last budget. The budget estimate for Umbrella ICDS in budget 2020-21 was 
Rs.28557.38Cr, which is now reduced by Rs.Rs.8452.38Cr to Rs.20,105 Cr. 
Ironically the name of the scheme has been changed to ‘Saksham Anganwadi and 
Poshan 2.0’. 
 
This is when the recent National Family Health Survey( NFHS – 5) has shown an 
increase in malnutrition in the period 2014-19. the UNICEF has recently pointed 
out that our country will lose three lakh children under five years in the next 
six months, due to poverty, hunger and malnutrition if this issue is urgently 
addressed. This huge number of our children which is in addition to the nearly 
8.8 lakh under fives who die every year are pushed into such vulnerable 
position due to the lock down and closing of anganwadi centres due to lock 
down. Instead of strengthening the schemes for nutrition, health and education, 
the government is pushing for privatization and PPP model in these sectors.
 
In spite of the exemplary work done by the anganwadi workers and helpers along 
with other frontline workers like ASHA workers during the pandemic in fighting 
the pandemic as well as malnutrition, risking their lives the government has 
not considered even increasing their remuneration or assuring any kind of 
social security or pension to nearly one crore scheme workers like Anganwadi, 
ASHA and MDM workers, who are the grass root level workers delivering the 
essential services to the people. 
 
The budget which was full of rhetoric about the ‘atmanirbhar’ bharat and the $5 
trillion economy, has cut down the budget allocation for the Mid Day Meal 
Scheme by Rs.1400Cr and the allocation for MNREGA by 41% from the last years 
revised estimates. There is only a nominal increase in the allocation for 
National Health Mission. The statement of the finance minister that the Labour 
Codes will ensure universal social security and statutory minimum wage for all 
is totally untrue. The scheme workers are not even categorized as workers in 
the codes.
 
In spite of the big struggles by the peasantry and the working class, this 
budget again proved that Modi government is not ready to change its policies of 
selling the national assets, giving tax concessions to the corporates. The 
government is completely surrendering to the corporates and imposing slavery on 
the working class as well as the peasantry through the notorious farm acts and 
labour codes. 
 
AIFAWH call upon all the anganwadi workers and helpers to protest against the 
total neglect of the anganwadi workers and helpers in the central budget 
2021-22. AIFAWH calls upon all the scheme workers to intensify the struggles 
for recognition as workers, minimum wages and pension.
Issued by
A. R. Sindhu
General Secretary

Those are terrifying projections - 300,000 children to die in 6 months ... 
i suppose more would come of this if all voices united  against the trifling of 
real life issues ...

NPR day should have said a very good budget for the disable! It should have 
praise the government despite having a lost budget for disabled ever. 
Government is always right no matter what it does. No criticism no analysis no 
factual interpretation all D’s just shows the blind following even at the 
interest of our own.

why are you bringing the other matters into the message of budget?

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Amiyo Biswas]

Well, NPRD's support to the farmers' protest does not disqualify its merits. 
What the NPRD says about the budget is correct. When most of the departments 
have have got a budget raise, why should MSJe get a smaller chunk of the 
pie?

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Avichal Bhatnagar]

The bitter fact is that we, the disabled, aren't a votebank; hence we
will be on nobody's priority list.
However, another fact which we all must clearly understand is that we
can achieve anything only via negotiations as we fail to make any
electoral impact.
Yes, the government must be made aware about the issues of the
disabled, but I vehemently disagree from the stand of NPRD as since
the beginning of 2014, I haven't found this organization ever praising
the government for anything.
This proves that they work with a partisan agenda and have nefarious designs.
I can prove my point by pointing to the selective mails of NPRD posted here.
We mustn't forget that the government of India has not only provided
free ration for many months to the needy disabled but has also given
ten months exemption to the disabled employees working with the
central government.
So, we must stick to our demands and have no compromise on the welfare
of our community, but on the other hand we must also be aware about
insidious groups trying to push their ideological propaganda in the
name of disability activism.

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Tanmay Srivastava]

According to me now disability is not the subject of welfare.

Now it should not be the part of ministry of social justice and empowerment.

It is the high time to make aware the government that government should
create separate ministry for the empowerment of people with disabilities.

Looking forward to everyone's response.

[AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[National Platform For The Rights of the Disabled]

February 1, 2021



*Press Statement*



The National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled (NPRD) has issued the
following statement:



*Union Budget: Disabled Cold Shouldered*



The NPRD lodges its strong protest at the substantial reduction in
budgetary support to the Department of Empowerment of Persons with
Disabilities. Even the meagre and inadequate Rs. 1325.39 estimated last
time, has been further reduced to Rs. 1171.77 crores this time.



This substantial reduction of nearly 12 per cent will adversely impact
various schemes and programmes that are being undertaken by the department. The
“Scheme for Implementation for Persons with Disabilities Act” sees a cut in
its allocation from Rs. 251.50 to Rs. 209.77 crores. The National Trust
which caters to persons with autism, cerebral palsy, intellectual
disabilities etc. is also witnessing lesser budgetary support. It has been
reduced from Rs. 39.50 to Rs. 30.00 crore. Even allocations to the National
Programme for Prevention of Blindness have been reduced by nearly 50 per
cent from Rs. 20.00 to Rs. 10.50 crores as compared to last year. Grant in
aid to state governments have also been reduced substantially.



When more disabled people are joining the ranks of the unemployed, it would
have been prudent to enhance allocations for the National Handicapped
Finance and Development Corporation, to enable it to provide loans to small
businesses set up by disabled people. On the contrary budgetary support to
the NHFDC has been drastically reduced from Rs. 41 crore provisioned in the
2019-20 budget to a mere Rs. 0.01 crore this time. The announcements made
to vigorously pursue privatization of various public sector undertakings
will adversely impact the disabled also. With the government unrelenting on
the demand to extend reservations to the private sector, shrinking
employment avenues in the government sector will see the ranks of the
unemployed disabled bourgeoning.



The total expenditure earmarked for the national programmes for welfare of
persons with disabilities has been reduced from Rs. 655 to Rs. 584 crores. The
total towards schemes/projects has been reduced from Rs. 780.00 to Rs.
709.77 crores, this time. The total expenditure towards Social security &
welfare has seen a reduction from Rs. 1126.79 to Rs. 988.59. Disability
pension continues to be stagnant at Rs. 300 for the past many years.



In the pandemic situation, which saw a huge escalation in the number of
mental health cases, the allocations made towards mental health displays
the total lack of acknowledgement of the crisis. Allocations to the
National Mental Health Programme remains constant at Rs. 40.00 crore. No
support has been earmarked for the National Institute of Mental Health &
Research for the last two years. However, unlike last time, there has been
a slight increase in allocations to the National Institute of Mental Health
and Neurosciences, Bengaluru and the Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoli Regional
Institute of Mental Health, Tezpur.



What is even more glaring is the complete omission of flagship programme
started by this government the *Accessible India* campaign.



The government remains content with bestowing divine status and a
label of *divyang,
*even while pursuing policies that confine disabled citizens to the
margins. Displaying complete indifference, during the entire two-hour long
rhetoric filled speech by the Finance Minister, not once did she refer to
disabled persons. Disabled *atmas* don’t matter. In earlier budgets, the
disabled were disregarded or neglected. This time they have been cold
shouldered. This is deplorable. The NPRD calls upon the disabled community
to rise in unison and protest this disabled-unfriendly budget.
