[AI] Activist in wheelchair gets city disabled-friendly road

[Kanchan Pamnani]

OIM%2F2021%2F07%2F28&entity=ar00523&ts=202107280104. 1/1 Jasmina Khanna
pursued BMC relentlessly to make a key road in Vile Parle universally
accessible Activist in wheelchair gets city disabled[1]friendly road
nitasha.n...@timesgroup.com Mumbai: Part of a key Vile Parle road has been
transformed after an activist with cerebral palsy doggedly pursued BMC to
make it universally accessible. A 400-metre stretch of Nehru Road now has a
wider footpath with tactile indicators for the visually challenged and kerb
ramps for wheelchair users. Encouraged by the transformation, Jasmina Khanna
is now pushing for accessibility for other streets and public amenities in
the city. She has her sights trained on Juhu and Andheri areas. "Guidelines
for accessibility were laid down by the central government a few years ago
but implementation was lacking," said Khanna, a software tester, who during
her trips overseas had noticed how infrastructure was planned keeping the
differently abled in mind. 

In 2018, Jasmina Khanna, a software tester with cerebral palsy, and her
physiotherapist, Sanket Khadilkar, carried out a survey of public amenities
in Vile Parle (East) with an aim to make these universally accessible. The
duo then went to the BMC with their findings and hired an architecture firm
to create designs of the interventions needed. The BMC finally began work on
Nehru Road earlier this year, but it was no cakewalk. "We had to remove
obstructions so that the footpaths could be widened to at least two metres
for a wheelchair to pass," said assistant engineer Sambhaji Dorugade of the
BMC's K-East ward. Encroached spaces had to be taken back from shopkeepers,
who were not too happy about it. The municipal team replaced paver blocks
with concrete. Tactile indicators were laid on the footpath and warning
signs were provided around trees, streetlights and electric boxes for
guiding the visually challenged. "One of our suggestions was to give the
kerb ramps a rough surface so that wheelchairs don't skid," said architect
Parul Kumtha, who is working alongside Khanna and Khadilkar for the
initiative and has prior experience in creating inclusive spaces. Then, just
before lockdownlike restrictions were applied, the group met the additional
municipal commissioner (projects) to explain about their work. He swiftly
responded with an instruction to all ward officers that new footpaths were
to be made accessible and pedestrian-friendly. The big challenge now is to
keep hawkers off the transformed stretch on Nehru Road as some of them have
already started to creep back. After the rains, the BMC intends to complete
accessibility work on the remaining stretch. Khanna has her sights trained
on neighbouring Juhu and Andheri and has initiated meetings with BMC staff
there. "Our architects have done an audit of Juhu-Versova Link Road and we
are pushing with the BMC for accessibility," she said

[AI] Daily Eyeway Alerts

[Ritu Jain]

Dear All,
Please find the below Daily Eyeway Alerts:
1. News-
Delhi Govt. draws up home education plan for out-of-school children
with special needs
Five years ago when Kanta Bhardwaj, a 33-year-old resident of
Hamidpur, was told that her son would never be on par with other
children, she said she left the hospital feeling “hopeless.” Her
eleven-year-old was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. While Bhardwaj
tried to teach him alphabets and numbers in the subsequent years, she
said it has been challenging for them.
Earlier this year, the state education department reached out to us to
enrol our child for their home-based education plan. Interacting with
the resource person has helped us in many ways. The teacher shared
resource material that keeps our child engaged and also spoke to us
about how we can teach him or interact with him,” she said.
Last year, the directorate of education’s (DoE) inclusive education
branch rolled out a home-based education plan for 251 of the 649
children with special needs, who are not enrolled in formal schooling
due to their disability or other reasons. The department allotted
resource persons to each child and was responsible for screening the
children for 21 disabilities as given in the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (RPWD) Act, 2016. The special educators also conducted
skill-based and academic assessments to develop individualized
education plan as per the needs and requirements of the children
between January-February this year.
Following a fresh round of survey that is set to end this month, the
department is now planning to extend the programme to all
out-of-school children with special needs so that those who cannot
come to school can continue home-based education.
A senior official in the inclusive education branch of the education
department said it is the first time that the department has rolled
out such a plan. “The idea is to help these children learn basic tasks
and routine activities such as brushing, eating, wearing clothes, and
using washroom, and then focus on basic reading and writing. The
concerned resource persons will also help enrol these children in
government or open schools based on their learning levels and upon
completion of the intervention. We also plan to help these children
learn some skills or vocation if they express the desire and
inclination to do so.”

Excellent work.
The same was also pushed for by disability activists in Delhi and even
the high court gave instructions but nothing concrete has been
achieved in making footpaths accessible.

She didn’t go to Court but directly to her ward office
She got the Municipal corporation to do their job.

Re: [AI] Activist in wheelchair gets city disabled-friendly road

[Tanmay Srivastava]

In delhi, the main problematic thing is that, people use footpaths as a
parking place.

Few months ago a public consultation was held for MPD 2041 in the context
of people with disabilities.

In that consultation I highlighted the same issue and they acknowledged.

In delhi, the main problematic thing is that, people use footpaths as a parking 
place.

Few months ago a public consultation was held for MPD 2041 in the context of 
people with disabilities.

In that consultation I highlighted the same issue and they acknowledged.

The same was also pushed for by disability activists in Delhi and even
the high court gave instructions but nothing concrete has been
achieved in making footpaths accessible.

In delhi, the main problematic thing is that, people use footpaths as a parking

Few months ago a public consultation was held for MPD 2041 in the context of 
people with disabilities.

In that consultation I highlighted the same issue and they acknowledged.
