Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Sandesh]

First, this post opening after clicking a CNBCTV link has nothing to do either 
with disability or any disability related organization, as was your yesterday's 
Anganvadi press release posted to the group.

Could write alot on the matter if there was any substance.
and As stated yesterday, I have closed the thread from my side as Told to Asif! 
and I keep my word.

  Here is a link to read more on the ludicrous budget - what a gimmick - 
underhanded too - ripping off the country saying 137% increase in the overall 
helathcare budget when most of it is to be one time spends. 
  And then there is the overall decline in total allocation to the health

  I was surprised to read some people's objections to the NPRD media 
release, so went back now and reread it. Expectedly it is a good, objective, 
reasonably thorough summary of yesterday's budget announcement vis a vis 
disability issues. 


  I have seen and experienced this kind of name-calling and loose talk in 
other groups and I must say I never expected to come across it here.


  Please desist from this bully-like behaviour, wasting the time of nation 
builders and defenders with unsubstantiated allegations and questionable 
statements. 


  The government is not a child to require a lollipop or fake compliment to 
temper our irate response to a budget that further shrinks our resources. Nor 
does it require your pouncing to the government's defence and retaliating with 
rubbish to people whose only 'crime'
  is to point out the obvious. Research the budget and you'll reach the 
same unavoidable conclusion that the NPRD statement outlines, irrespective of 
your politics and preferences.

Hello everyone,

apps.

app for further details.

 

You can check this episode out by going to the Blind Tech Guys Episode 71

Thanks and happy listening.

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Sharad Philip]

https://www.cnbctv18.com/healthcare/highest-ever-health-budget-allocation-is-it-good-enough-8176211.htm
 

Here is a link to read more on the ludicrous budget - what a gimmick - 
underhanded too - ripping off the country saying 137% increase in the overall 
helathcare budget when most of it is to be one time spends.
And then there is the overall decline in total allocation to the health 
ministry.
Great news is that we have another fund to donate to - 
If you come across the details for the spending of the PMCARES fund please do 
let know 
When will we learn to call a spade a spade ?

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

Ha, Ha, Ha!
I don't know to express this in English, but in Hindi it's beautifully summed 
up:
"Ulta Chor Kotwal ko danten".

NPRD is "nation builders and defenders ", Joke of the 21st century!

No need to say more, as Asif requested me to close the thread. Honoring it from

does it require your pouncing to the government's defence and retaliating with 
rubbish to people whose only 'crime'

unavoidable conclusion that the NPRD statement outlines, irrespective of your 
politics and preferences.

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[P. Subramani]

very aptly said avichal.  Nprd is using terrible language for the fm and 
also trying project divyang and atma as offensive words.  Obviously they are 
averse to words from sanskrit as their sponsorrers are abroad.  The fm might 
have not used the word disability in her speech yesterday, but for record 
sake, how many fm or even pms have ever used  disabilities in their speeches 
and policy matters:   Due to covid, many depts have been give budgetary cuts 
to fund health/vaccin related.  Its not that only programmes of disability 
persons  are given the cuts.  Moreover, many figures given by nprd are 
misrepresented.  let them quote the actual facts.   So their ideology is the 
problem and AI shouldn't be platform for them to promote such nefarious 
ideas.

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.

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Sandesh]

Namaskar!

   Actually, the press release doesn't come under either this 
group or

disability purview. but since the matter is come here, i would like to have
your attention to some blatant lyes presented in this press note:

1. From Swarajya February 1:

New taxes, additional cess, securities markets taxes – a litany of
disappointments was pre-lined. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman stayed
clear of all of these.

Firstly, India has finally gotten over the tyranny of rating agencies.

Secondly, a big push for healthcare infrastructure is a welcome move.

The Ayushmaan Bharat programme was already in place for a while covering the
costs of specific treatment for about 50 crore Indians.

The 137 per cent increase in the Union Budget – a budgetary estimate of Rs.
2.27 lakh crore on healthcare is an investment in India’s human capital.

The PM Atmanirbhar Swasth Bharat Yojana will focus on this physical
infrastructure.

2. The Hindu of February 1 says:

2020 budget speech of FM: Allocating ₹35,600 crore for nutritional related
programmes, the FM said that under Poshan Abhiyaan, launched in 2019, 6 lakh
anganwadi workers have been equipped with smartphones to provide nutritional
updates for 10 crore households. She added that a task force will be
appointed to look into the issue of young girls entering motherhood.

3. Don't remember the magazine but Moin Qazi who worked in State bank for 30
years indicates:

How is it that when every Anganwadi gets the same support from the
government, some perform well while others lag behind? One major reason is
leakage at every level where the aid is sponged off. As the aid travels,
only a small part reaches the actual beneficiary.

4. Again, not remembering the name but some newspaper of yesterday says
this:

Extension of social security coverage schemes

In a welcome move by the government, gig workers will now be able to avail
the benefit of social security schemes.

Further, e-commerce workers will now be covered under Employees’ State
Insurance Scheme (ESI), Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) and the minimum wage
rule.

5. According to CNBC TV news of yesterday:

As per the budget tabled by the FM in Parliament, Mahatama Gandhi National
Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA) has been allocated Rs 73,000
crore for the fiscal year 2021. The allocation is up by over Rs 63,000 crore
against Rs 9,500 crore in 2020.

The government announced an additional allocation of Rs 40,000 crore for
MGNREGA under the initial stimulus package of Rs 20 lakh crore (announced in
May 2020). This was done to address the distress caused in rural areas due
to the reverse migration of workers to their homes after the pandemic broke
out.
Total expenditure under MGNREGA scheme during Modi-led government from 2014
to 2020 has jumped to Rs 2.95 lakh crore.

6. Let's see what Jagran English of August 2020 says:

The New Education Policy, which was approved by the Union Cabinet last week,
has proposed to introduce breakfast for elementary school children in
government/aided schools, in addition to the mid-day meals, which are
already served to them. The draft policy noted that morning hours after a
nutritious breakfast can be particularly productive for the study of
cognitively more demanding subjects and hence recommended expansion of the
mid-day meal scheme to include provisions for breakfast in schools.

"Children are unable to learn optimally when they are undernourished or
unwell. Hence, the nutrition and health (including mental health) of
children will be addressed, through healthy meals and the introduction of
well-trained social workers, counsellors, and community involvement into the
schooling system," the policy says.
“Furthermore, research shows that the morning hours after a nutritious
breakfast can be particularly productive for the study of cognitively more
demanding subjects and hence these hours may be leveraged by providing a
simple but energizing breakfast in addition to mid-day meals,” it added.

In locations where hot meals are not possible, a simple but nutritious
meal-- groundnuts or chana mixed with jaggery and local fruits may be
provided. “All school children shall undergo regular health check-ups
especially for 100 pc immunization in schools and health cards will be
issued to monitor the same,” the policy said.

At least 11.59 crore elementary school students are beneficiaries under the
mid-day meal scheme of the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry, while
nearly 26 lakh cook-cum helpers are employed for the same.

7. According to yesterday's Times of India and The Print, The mid-day meal
scheme saw an increase of Rs 500 crore as the total allocation has been
raised to Rs 11,500 crore from Rs 11,000 last year.

8. The Economic Times of February 1 gives the following:

Women and Child Development Ministry's budget hiked by 16 per cent

Out of Rs 24,435 crore, the highest amount has been allocated to the newly
announced Saksham Anganwadi and Mission 

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Sandesh]

Nobody says attention of the government should not be taken to the present
budget in disability context.
But As I told yesterday, there is way of putting things.

Their support to Farmers' protest, I already made it clear yesterday, so not
commenting on that again!

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?

Exactly Avichal!
very well said, even I wanted to come to these points.
The language of such groups is absolutely nonacceptable.
These people even don't know the difference between "Atmanirbhar" and
"Atma". I also don't find anything wrong using the word Divyang. and I can
vouch for many disabled who love the word Divyang in place of Vikalang.
In short, they don't even know what to say where and when. or to be precise,
they say things
selectively. This is not going to do anything good for the sector as whole!
I feel there is no
need even to praise the government, only admitting the facts would suffice
here.
But the way things are discussed by such organisations, it seems that they
say things for the
sake of saying. I don't know which masters are they trying to please instead
of working
honestly for the cause of Divyangjan.

They support the Farmers' protest using name of disabled (everybody knows
what happened on Red Fort on 26th of January), they come to the help of
criminals (Sorry, sorry, Hard-core
criminals) charged by NIA like Stan Swami, they condemn the statement of
Khushbu Sundar on some frivolous grounds because she leaves the Congress and
join the BJP and smartly ignore the same kind of statements of people like
Salman Khurshid and others because maybe these people are perfect to suit
the agenda of such groups who want to insist anything on in the sweet name
of disabled!

is this the work of/and/for  disability? I even heard that they signed the
petition exhibiting
solidarity with people showing mercy to killers of many inocent countrymen
(Yes, I am referring
to Yakoob Menon) to Rashtrapati of India.
for people like me and all members (around 100 blind Karyakartas of Samarth
Bharat Manch from
various parts of India) all these activities comes under antisocial
catagory. not only this,

for us, all such things could easily be classified as anti-india activities.
I believe there
shouldn't be any reason for disagreeing here with all that is said.

Asking here the question to NPRD for the sake of curiosity, nothing more
nothing less, and yes,
you are free not to answer as well, because I wasn't here on the list that
time, what kind of
support you provided to Sadhvi Pragya and Kernal Purohit, because Sadhvi did
bound to
wheelchair and Mr. Purohit became almost disabled by the police treatment.
entire country saw their condition. I hope you mustn't have remembered
humanity or disability then. or you did not have any helping hand at that
time.
I'm not saying it was your fault but why then such huge love and support for
Yakoob Menon, Stan
Swami and Farmers' agitation?

Concisely, they are doing the well-planned work. Cause of disabled is just
the tag they have
been carrying, their actual purpose is to push the ideological propaganda as
adeptly described
by Avichal. I myself could not find any other appropriate word for such
henous work and that is
in the name of disability. nothing could be worse than this!

the government of India has provided ten months exemption to the disabled
employees working not
only with the central government but also in PSUs and many more offices. The
government even
advise these offices to allot such disabled employees proper work from home
opportunities wherever possible. Sadly but factually, there were some who
did take undue advantage of this
exemption. But NPRD and such people must not be aware of this! right?

in short, they are free to create and work with any narrative and
agenda/propaganda, set forth
by them but why to do all this in the name of disabled? or to say it
properly, drag the
disability to quench their own ideologicaal thirst?

there was time when such activism in any name could easily be digested, but
the things have changed now, you just cannot take people for granted by
doing any agitation using shield of disability. this is nothing but carrying
and continuing with their business (Dhandha, as they correctly say in Hindi)
by encashing disability and/or people with disability everywhere.

Sorry for the longish mail.
but someone someday had to write this all.

Vande Mataram

very true ,doing something for the newly named divyangjan may not get
votes ,neither are we large corporates nor are we a meaningful
votebank. only the courts have really helped us . I do not intend to

Re: [AI] Disabled Cold Shouldered in Budget

[Tony Kurian]

 hello all,
  Glad to see a topic that has aroused some interest among the AI community.
But it would have been better if we had confined the focus to the NPRD
statement on the budget rather than bringing in extraneous and
unconnected issues. It would have been good if those having a contrary
view, expressed it based on facts and figures and how they interpret
it. The NPRD statement has relied wholly on information provided in
the Budget papers. If there is a misrepresentation of facts, it needs
to be contradicted. In fact, the statement does acknowledge that
allocations to the NIHMANS Banglore and the Mental health institute in
Assam have increased.
We need to appreciate that activism is hard ball negotiation and
uncomfortable truths will have to be told here. Unfortunately,
analysis of budget numbers reveals some unfortunate and uncomfortable
truths.
While I am not going to all the other issues raised which I feel is an
attempt at maligning an organization that has been doing exemplary
work and has been raising various issues concerning the disabled in
the last few years, I would like to point out that I have not come
across any statement by the NPRD in support of the farmer’s protest,
though personally I would have been glad if they had done it.
Bringing in extraneous issues and attributing motives is
self-defeating and steers us away from the real issue.
Jai Hind.
