RE: [AI] Need examples of inaccessible public sector and private sector spaces in Delhi

[vedprakash.sharma]

I had visited national musium with one of my friends three years back. At that 
time, there were speech systems were installed but there were two problems with 
them.

1.  When somebody activates the speech for the info on a specific Model, 
object etc., the voice is heard through big speakers and disturbs all others 
who are not interested in that. If two or three people activate speech at 
different places, it gets noicy and nobody could listen to what was said.
2.  There were some braille info but was in a very poor condition. Papers 
were torn and dots were diluted.

 

I do not know the present situation.

Delhi Public Library also needs attention.

Though they claim they have online facility to read books but the system 
generally gets faulty or the dealing person is not available.

They say it is on account of very low budget for them.

Subject: [AI] Need examples of inaccessible public sector and private sector 
spaces in Delhi

 

Hi 

 

In the coming period, I’d like to take up strategic litigation on disability 
rights causes with high impact potential, in the Delhi High Court and the 
Supreme Court . For this purpose , I’d like you to help me  identify particular 
places in Delhi that are inaccessible and build my cases on that basis. 

Please share examples of inaccessible spaces in the following categories, with 
details as to the barriers that exist:

 

1. Inaccessible government museums, and ongoing government-run urban 
development projects in Delhi where the principle of universal design is not 
being complied with. 

 

2. Private entities that are inaccessible to disabled people, such as four- and 
five-star hotels, gyms, and shopping malls.

 

Your inputs will help us in securing greater disability justice.

 

Thanks

 

Rahul

Re: [AI] Digest for accessindia@accessindia.org.in - 17 updates in 10 topics

Swavlamban Health Insurance Scheme
To begin with, what is Swavlamban health insurance scheme?
This prestigious health insurance scheme was initiated on 2nd October
2016 solely for Persons with Disabilities (PwD). It was launched under
the power of New India Assurance Company limited with the association
with Ministry of Social Justice and Department of Empowerment of
Persons with Disabilities.

The Mission of Swavlamban Health Insurance Scheme:
To provide with low cost and affordable health insurance to people
with Low Vision, Blindness, Leprosy-Cured, Loco-Motor Disability,
Hearing Impairment, Mental illness and Mental retardation.
To improve the quality of life for PwD.
To improve general health conditions for PwD.
Key Features of Swavlamban Health Insurance Scheme:
The steady premium of INR 357/- for every PwD living across the
country. (10% of actual premium plus Service Tax)
Sum cover of 2 lacs on the family floater for 12 months. Family size
up to 1+3, primary member is mostly the person with PwD but in the
case of minor being, PwD the parent/guardian of the minor can also be
covered under the scheme.
Age band covered under Swavlamban Health Insurance Scheme is 0-65 years.
To get enrolled in Swavlamban Health Insurance Scheme the PwD need to
carry the PwD certificate issued by PwD Act, 1995.
PwD family income not exceeding 3 lacs P.A or below are also eligible.
No pre-medical tests involved before enrolling into the policy.
Pre-post hospitalization covered as subject to limits.
OPD cover for curative therapy up to INR 10,000/- for 12 months for
PwD. For persons with mental disability or mental retardation, OPD
covers INR 3000/- P.A.
Pre-existing conditions can’t be excluded but curative surgery for
existing impairment can be done with the consent of insurer/TPA.
Please note: People with multiple disabilities, cerebral Palsy and
autism are not covered under this scheme.

Advantages of Swavlamban:
Cashless treatment of PwD in the hospitals that are identified under
New India Assurance.
Free OPD treatment up to 10,000 and health insurance scheme included.
The family of PwD is covered within the additional benefits of the scheme.
Treatment for pre-existing medical problems is also offered to the PwD.
Transparency is always maintained in the claim process.
Due to New India Assurance network, the enrollment procedure is also
very simple.
Claim Process:

New India Assurance creates a network of hospitals, where the insured
person can get the cashless treatment.
If in any case, the insurance PwD wishes to take the treatment outside
the network hospitals he/she needs the permission from TPA. However,
these permissions are not necessary when the case is of emergency
hospitalization.
The policy takes full responsibility of the patient’s pre-existing
illness. If in any case, the insured PwD wishes to take the treatment
outside the network hospitals he/she needs the permission from TPA.
At the time of claim, the PwD needs to provide the PwD certificate to
the TPA issued under the Persons with Disability Act, 1995.
Redressal process:

If the insured person is having any kind of grievance over any service
aspect, he/she can approach a nominated person of New India Agency.
In case the person is not satisfied with the process, he can escalate
it to a named person in the Department of Empowerment of PwD.
Limitation of Swavlamban:

There are certain PwD excluded such as;
Autism
Multiple disabilities
Cerebral palsy
Awareness regarding Swavlamban Health Insurance is limited among PwD.
Swavlamban emergency procedures and provisions need more advancement.
How to move forward with cashless claim settlement:

CM Khattar launches 3 online services differently-abled to get pension at
homePTI PTI
Updated: April 19, 2023 22:17 ..  you are reading this news with Tirupati
Gaikwad..
Chandigarh, Apr 19 (PTI) Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar
Wednesday announced three online services to digitally empower people, and
said that Persons With Disabilities (PwDs) will now get their pensionary
benefits at home.
 The newly launched online services are: Pro-active Divyang Pension
Service, 'Tau se Poochho' WhatsApp chatbot and online booking of government
rest houses.
 "These IT initiatives will prove to be a milestone in the state
government's vision of paperless and transparent governance," Khattar said
here.
About the Pro-active Divyang Pension Service for the physically
challenged, Khattar said the government is committed to deliver all
services for them at doorsteps.
"Now, we have decided to give automated pension benefits to Persons
With Disabilities (PwDs) and such beneficiaries will not have to visit the
offices to get their benefits," he said.
Khattar told reporters that data of PwDs having more than 60 percent
disability that is available under the Parivar Pehchan Patra (family id)
scheme will be certified by the Haryana Parivar Pehchan Authority every
month.
 "The data of all such PWDs found eligible after verification will be
shared with the SEWA Department," he said, adding if all beneficiaries give
their consent, pension benefits will start from next month.
Referring to another service, he said the Haryana Parivar Pehchan
Authority has created a WhatsApp Chatbot called 'Tau Se Poochho' along with
a web-based chatbot solution.
 According to an official statement, the bilingual chatbot is
integrated is designed to give quick responses to the queries raised by the
citizens.
An analytical study of the queries received will certainly prove to be
helpful in the process of resolving complaints and resolution, it said,
while adding technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning
and natural language processing have been added to this integrated digital
platform.
He said that using the chatbot the beneficiaries can check the progress
of their applications for various services including income certificate,

Hey folks,
This mail is regarding saksham swasthya policy recently launched by
oriental insurance company limited as mentioned by one of members of
this list , i would like to draw attention of seniors who are in
direct contact with policy makers and ministry deligates that although
the product has been launched but annual premium starts from rupees
41000 that is only forty one thousand approx for a person having 40
percent or more disability for a mere sum insured of 4 lakhs and age
below 20 years, and the premium just goes further upwards as the age
increases.
Keeping in mind that lives of HIV patients and cancer patients have
been kept in the same premium table the premium is too much .
I would like to draw the attention as the difference from a normal
life for the same age and same sum insured is more than thirty five
thousand rupees.
I would like to know from members of this list that is it justified to
keep persons with benchmark disability in the same premium table as
the patients with HIV or cancer as the health risk is exponentially
higher for these patients in compairsion  with a person with blindness
or any other disability.
This is an urgent and a very important matter to be looked upon with
utmost urgency as recently only IRDAI that is insurance regulator has
laid up guidelines for formation of this product and the companies are
in this process of launching of special products for health insurance
for persons with disability including HIV and cancer patients which
started with the launch of saksham swasthya policy by oriental
insurance company .
It is my humble request to the members who were advocating this matter
with the regulator and ministry to kindly look ahead for the
implications on the disabled community as the product is totally
irrelevant and unjustified.
Rather my suggestion is not to keep HIV and cancer patients with
persons with disability and introduce a seprate product for persons
with benchmark disability or even we can give direct health cover as
we use to give earlier with no loading and at par with other lives .
Hoping for an active participation and valueable comments on this
matter in this list.
Regards
Avee Gupta
