Re: [AI] Meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March: request for inputs

[avinash shahi]

Hi Rahul
Lately you have been doing very commendable work after returning from
Oxford and working with the current CJI. Kudos to you.
below are my suggestions for your proposed meeting with Dr Tharoor.
1) Committee for physical and digital accessibility on the line of the
Apex Court's committee. It is duable. This will be taken very
positively by Dr Tharoor as new parliament building is being
reconstructed.
2) separate ministry for disability affairs. Given the ever expanding
disabilities and complex needs of diverse groups, we desperately need
fulltime minister for disability affairs. You can butress this demand
by detailing after little research about how department of empowerment
of persons with disabilities is in shambles. we don't have fulltime
chief commissioner for years. many secretaries have served for only
few months in the last 3 four years. then got transfered or got
retired. I feel these two issues are good to start with.
As far as representation of person with disabilities is concerned, I
don't think one can get anything more than assurances from Dr Tharoor.
Its a complex tragectory and requires wider mobilisation and should
start from the grass root. for example we should start with
reservation in panchayats and urban bodyes' election first. then
concensus may emerge among politicians.

[AI] Meeting on insurance and government health schemes for the disabled on 15th March: request for inputs

[Mission Accessibility]

Hi all,

In my role as a consultant on disability rights for the Vidhi Centre for legal 
policy, I have been invited by the Department of empowerment for persons with 
disabilities for a meeting on 15th March. I would like your inputs for that 
meeting. Two sets of broad issues will be discussed.

First, strengthening the CGhs, adip and aLimco schemes and removing any 
discrepancies amongst them so as to ensure harmonisation and uniformity.

Second, addressing the challenges faced by the disabled in accessing insurance 
policies.

Please share your inputs on these above two aspects, ideally in the form of 
problems followed by solutions. Thank you.

Rahul

To take the thought process, forward, The nomination to Rajya Sabha for 
Anglo-Indian should be replaced with Disabled persons asAnglo-Indian persons is 
really not relevant presently. The change will not have any negative 
repercussions on any political parties. All that is required is a nudge.

Hi Rahul,
I think, Dr. Tharoor can be requested to bring a private member bill
on reserving certain seats for the disabled in Lok Sabha, and securing
some representation in nominations to the Rajya Sabha.

I too think that audio description has little importance as the
statements and not visual posture of the legislators are of importance.

Though parliament website is mostly accessible but scanned copies of
statements in the parliament library sometimes create problem.

When I open the link “papers laid”, somehow Jaws gets silent as I go

I don’t think that audio description will be much help in the
proceedings of parliament as it is already about debates, speeches,
and auditory things. They emphasis should be much more on digital and
physical accessibility. We should also push about
representation/nomination of. Disable members in the legislative houses.

Hi all,

Good morning. After much effort, I have managed to secure a
meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March. The immediate
trigger for this meeting is his observations about Parliament
not being disabled friendly and an article that I wrote on the
subject in the Indian express. In the meeting, I would like to
discuss with him concrete pathways for making Parliament and
its proceedings more disabled friendly. I would like to invite
your suggestions on what issues I should discuss with him.
This is what I have in mind at present:

First,  Ensuring that proceedings in Parliament or accompanied
by sign language interpretation and audio description. At
least the most important ones to begin with.

Second, setting up a committee that is tasked with addressing
all Accessibility related needs in Parliament, as has been
done by the Supreme Court recently.

Third, conducting an audit of the physical infrastructure and
website of the Parliament.

Let me know if you have any other inputs.

statements and not visual posture of the legislators are of importance.

Though parliament website is mostly accessible but scanned copies of
statements in the parliament library sometimes create problem.

When I open the link “papers laid”, somehow Jaws gets silent as I go
in the table where list of papers are given.

Not discovered much though.

I don’t think that audio description will be much help in the
proceedings of parliament as it is already about debates, speeches,
and auditory things. They emphasis should be much more on digital and
physical accessibility. We should also push about
representation/nomination of. Disable members in the legislative houses.

Hi all,

Good morning. After much effort, I have managed to secure a
meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March. The immediate
trigger for this meeting is his observations about Parliament
not being disabled friendly and an article that I wrote on the
subject in the Indian express. In the meeting, I would like to
discuss with him concrete pathways for making Parliament and
its proceedings more disabled friendly. I would like to invite
your suggestions on what issues I should discuss with him.
This is what I have in mind at present:

First,  Ensuring that proceedings in Parliament or accompanied
by sign language interpretation and audio description. At
least the most important ones to begin with.

Second, setting up a committee that is tasked with addressing
all Accessibility related needs in Parliament, as has been
done by the Supreme Court recently.

Third, conducting an audit of the physical infrastructure and
website of the Parliament.

Let me know if you have any other inputs.

Re: [AI] Regarding Zero Transaction Fastag issue to visually impaired

[Payal Jethra]

Hi Devender

Not sure which state you're from. In Maharashtra, Mumbai, I'm closing
a deal with Maruti Suzuki for a new car.

I've shared with them the recent 3rd February circular & they've
visited Mumbai RTO Dahisar for confirming & waving off the indicated
charges for registration of the vehicle under Divyang catagory for the
blind/visually impaired.

May not be able to receive calls during office. Please send in your
name via whatsapp on 7303448295 & I'll share the circular with you.

Rahul,

It is crucial to create and manage disability-specific disaggregated data
across sectors of health, education, poverty alleviation, law and order,
sports, and culture.

With best regards,

Re: [AI] Meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March: request for inputs

Hi Rahul,
I think, Dr. Tharoor can be requested to bring a private member bill
on reserving certain seats for the disabled in Lok Sabha, and securing
some representation in nominations to the Rajya Sabha.

[BHAWANI SHANKAR VERMA]

I think that representation     of disabled in parliament will nothing 
to do. in past we had MPs from disabled cummunity, but, there was no change.


also it is my opinion that we should focus on blind particular not on 
disabled in general. it is wwitnessed that in past most of the movement 
started by blind individuals, groups or NGOs, but, the benifit has gone 
to other disability in majority.

Though parliament website is mostly accessible but scanned copies of statements 
in the parliament library sometimes create problem.

When I open the link “papers laid”, somehow Jaws gets silent as I go in the 
table where list of papers are given.

Not discovered much though.

I don’t think that audio description will be much help in the proceedings of 
parliament as it is already about debates, speeches, and auditory things. They 
emphasis should be much more on digital and physical accessibility. We should 
also push about representation/nomination of. Disable members in the 
legislative houses.

Hi all,

 

Good morning. After much effort, I have managed to secure a meeting with Dr 
Shashi Tharoor on 21st March. The immediate trigger for this meeting is his 
observations about Parliament not being disabled friendly and an article that I 
wrote on the subject in the Indian express. In the meeting, I would like to 
discuss with him concrete pathways for making Parliament and its proceedings 
more disabled friendly. I would like to invite your suggestions on what issues 
I should discuss with him. This is what I have in mind at present:

 

First,  Ensuring that proceedings in Parliament or accompanied by sign language 
interpretation and audio description. At least the most important ones to begin 
with.

 

Second, setting up a committee that is tasked with addressing all Accessibility 
related needs in Parliament, as has been done by the Supreme Court recently. 

 

Third, conducting an audit of the physical infrastructure and website of the 
Parliament.

 

Let me know if you have any other inputs.

 

Rahul

Re: [AI] Meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March: request for inputs

[pavan kallem]

Hi Rahul,
It's great to hear that you have managed to secure a meeting with Dr.
Shashi Tharoor on 21st March to discuss the issue of making Parliament
and its proceedings more disabled friendly. Your efforts in this
regard are commendable and I appreciate your initiative to bring this
important issue to light.
Your proposed agenda for the meeting seems to be well thought-out and
comprehensive. The three key issues that you have identified are
crucial for making Parliament more accessible to people with
disabilities. I would like to suggest a few more points that you could
consider discussing with Dr. Tharoor:
1.
Increasing representation of people with disabilities in Parliament:
One of the ways to ensure that the concerns of people with
disabilities are heard is to increase their representation in
Parliament. This could be achieved by reserving a certain number of
seats in the Parliament for people with disabilities or by providing
incentives for political parties to field candidates with
disabilities.
2.
Providing training to MPs and staff on disability issues: It's
essential that MPs and staff in the Parliament are aware of the
challenges faced by people with disabilities and the steps that can be
taken to address them. Providing training on disability issues can
help in creating a more inclusive environment in the Parliament.
3.
Ensuring accessibility of Parliament-related events: In addition to
the proceedings in the Parliament, it's also important to ensure that
all events related to the Parliament are accessible to people with
disabilities. This could include events like conferences, workshops,
and public hearings.
I hope these suggestions are helpful in your meeting with Dr. Tharoor.
Your efforts to make Parliament more accessible to people with
disabilities are truly inspiring and I wish you all the best in your
endeavors.
Best regards,
Advecote Kallem Pavan, Hyderabad, Telangana.
