[AI] Department of Disability Affairs, Govt. of India -announced

2012-05-01 Thread DEV KUMAR
Source: PTI AD

Government has approved in principle, the proposal for creation of a
separate Department of Disability Affairs, within the Social Justice 
Empowerment Ministry, Union Minister Mukul Wasnik told the House in
written reply to a question.

Informing the House on its progress so far, he said the proposal to
amend the Government of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961,
with a view to notify the creation of the said department and to
define its business is under consideration. The proposal to create a
separate department for disability affairs was moved by the Ministry
sometime back after a need was felt to create a separate department
under a Secretary-rank officer to address the issues of people with
disability.

Presently, the issues related to empowerment of disabled people in the
country are looked after by a division in the Social Justice Ministry.
The formation of a separate department will ensure better
implementation of government schemes and proposals for betterment of
disabled people, the Ministry officials said. As per the 2001 Census,
there are 2.19 crore disabled people in the country which is around
2.13 per cent of the total population. According to the NSSO Survey of
2002, 75 per cent of persons with disabilities live in rural areas.
While 49 per cent of disabled population is literate, only 34 per cent
are employed.

 I heard of one Prasanna Kumar Pincha who was the Principal of a blind
 school at Houhati. He also played an important part in obtaining locker
 facilities for visually impaired account holders. Is our new CCD the same
 person?

 *People with Disabilities and Empowerment*

 Disability Rights Initiative, Bombay, invites all to
 participate in a
 meeting with Justice Zakeria Mohammed Yacoob of South
 Africa.  Justice
 Zakeria Mohammed Yacoob of the South African
 Constitutional Court is
 visiting India and meeting with its people.  Justice
 Yacoob is
 delivering a series of lectures all over the country
 and he will be
 speaking in Mumbai on 11th June 2007.

 Justice Yacoob will share his experiences on
 disability issues and
 enumerate the importance of understanding that
 problems faced by
 disabled persons are not to be seen in isolation. The
 struggle for
 equality of disabled persons should go hand in hand
 with the struggle of
 equality by women, by Dalit and all those who are
 discriminated, with no
 food, shelter, employment or on the basis of sexuality
 to come together
 as a single voice. He will speak variety of issues
 concerning the
 struggle to achieve social equality and justice.
 Justice Yacoob
 believes that India and South Africa have a lot to
 learn from each other
 as both countries have many similarities as the
 respective constitutions
 of both the countries are the product of the struggle
 for freedom,
 fighting imperialism.  However, constitution and
 legislation themselves
 are not sufficient to achieve social justice, there
 are springboards for
 greater change and the duty of that court is to define
 and defend a
 fundamental belief in human rights and
 non-discrimination.

 The participants can interact and ask questions and
 this would be
 followed by a quick overview of the disability
 movement in India .




 About Justice Yacoob
 Zakeria Mohammed Yacoob, born in 1948, became blind at
 the age of
 sixteen months as a result of meningitis. Justice
 Yacoob was a member of
 the executive of the Natal Indian Congress from 1981
 to 1991. He helped
 to plan and organise, participated in, and addressed
 numerous mass
 meetings aimed at supporting the struggle against
 apartheid. He was
 chairperson and a member of the executive of the
 Democratic Lawyers
 Association. Presently Justice Yacoob sits on the
 Constitutional Court
 of South Africa and is Chancellor of the University of
 Durban-Westville.
 He is also the Chairperson for the South African
 National Council for
 the Blind, where he sits on the Executive Committee
 and the National
 Management Committee.

[AI] Freedom Scientific Been Sold

2007-05-15 Thread Dev Kumar
RSVI,Lucknow

Good Morning everybody,

Earlier today a trusted friend sent me an e-mail stating that Freedom
Scientific -- maker of JAWS for Windows, Magic, the Pac Mate, and
other things, had been purchased by WAFRA Partners, but then the
announcement was pulled from their web site.

A Google search for Freedom Scientific WAFRA Partners turned up a
couple hits including the following which appeared in the Blind
Confidential blog today.  Who knows what is exactly going on...

thanking you

[AI] Clear print,needs of people with sight problems.

2007-02-20 Thread Dev Kumar
Dehradun-NIVH

Clear print is a design approach which considers the needs of people with
sight problems.

Simply, a clear print document will find a wider audience. The solutions we
propose are straightforward and inexpensive, focusing on some basic design
elements, for example font, type size, contrast and page navigation.

RNIB's clear print guidelines are based on our experience of the issues over
many years, advice from experts in the field and evidence including recent
research into fonts and type size.
Type size

The size of the type (known as point size) is a fundamental factor in
legibility. We recommend a type size between 12 and 14 point (equivalent to
a minimum x-height of 2mm or more ideally 2.3mm). The larger the minimum
type size, the more people you will reach.
Contrast

The better the contrast between the background and the text, the more
legible the text will be. Note that the contrast will be affected by the
size and weight of the type. Black text on a white background provides best
contrast.
Typeface

Avoid highly stylised typefaces, such as those with ornamental, decorative
or handwriting styles.
Type styles

Blocks of capital letters, underlined or italicised text are all harder to
read. A word or two in capitals is fine but avoid the use of capitals for
continuous text. Underlining text or setting it in italics should always be
avoided and an alternative method of emphasis used.
Leading

The space between one line of type and the next (known as leading) is
important. As a general rule, the space should be 1.5 to 2 times the space
between words on a line.
Type weight

People with sight problems often prefer bold or semi-bold weights to normal
ones. Avoid light type weights.
Numbers

If you print documents with numbers in them, choose a typeface in which the
numbers are clear. Readers with sight problems can easily misread 3, 5, 8
and 0.
Word spacing and alignment

Keep to the same amount of space between each word. Do not condense or
stretch lines of type. We recommend aligning text to the left margin as it
is easy to find the start of the next line and keeps the spaces even between
words. We advise that you avoid justified text as the uneven word spacing
can make reading more difficult.
Columns

Make sure the margin between columns clearly separates them. If space is
limited, use a vertical rule.
Reversing type

If using white type, make sure the background colour is dark enough to
provide sufficient contrast.
Setting text

Avoid fitting text around images if this means that lines of text start in a
different place, and are therefore difficult to find. Set text horizontally
as text set vertically is extremely difficult for a partially sighted reader
to follow. Avoid setting text over images or textures as this will affect
the contrast.
Forms

Partially sighted people tend to have handwriting that is larger than
average, so allow extra space on forms. This will also benefit people with
conditions that affect the use of their hands, such as arthritis.
Navigational aids

It is helpful if recurring features, such as headings and page numbers, are
always in the same place. A contents list and rules to separate different
sections are also useful. Leave a space between paragraphs as dividing the
text up gives the eye a break and makes reading easier.
Printing

Avoid glossy paper because glare makes it difficult to read. Choose uncoated
paper that weighs over 90gsm. As a general rule, if the text is showing
through from the reverse side, then the paper is too thin.

[AI] Clear print,needs of people with sight problems.

2007-02-20 Thread Dev Kumar
Dehradun-NIVH

Clear print is a design approach which considers the needs of people with
sight problems.

Simply, a clear print document will find a wider audience. The solutions we
propose are straightforward and inexpensive, focusing on some basic design
elements, for example font, type size, contrast and page navigation.

RNIB's clear print guidelines are based on our experience of the issues over
many years, advice from experts in the field and evidence including recent
research into fonts and type size.
Type size

The size of the type (known as point size) is a fundamental factor in
legibility. We recommend a type size between 12 and 14 point (equivalent to
a minimum x-height of 2mm or more ideally 2.3mm). The larger the minimum
type size, the more people you will reach.
Contrast

The better the contrast between the background and the text, the more
legible the text will be. Note that the contrast will be affected by the
size and weight of the type. Black text on a white background provides best
contrast.
Typeface

Avoid highly stylised typefaces, such as those with ornamental, decorative
or handwriting styles.
Type styles

Blocks of capital letters, underlined or italicised text are all harder to
read. A word or two in capitals is fine but avoid the use of capitals for
continuous text. Underlining text or setting it in italics should always be
avoided and an alternative method of emphasis used.
Leading

The space between one line of type and the next (known as leading) is
important. As a general rule, the space should be 1.5 to 2 times the space
between words on a line.
Type weight

People with sight problems often prefer bold or semi-bold weights to normal
ones. Avoid light type weights.
Numbers

If you print documents with numbers in them, choose a typeface in which the
numbers are clear. Readers with sight problems can easily misread 3, 5, 8
and 0.
Word spacing and alignment

Keep to the same amount of space between each word. Do not condense or
stretch lines of type. We recommend aligning text to the left margin as it
is easy to find the start of the next line and keeps the spaces even between
words. We advise that you avoid justified text as the uneven word spacing
can make reading more difficult.
Columns

Make sure the margin between columns clearly separates them. If space is
limited, use a vertical rule.
Reversing type

If using white type, make sure the background colour is dark enough to
provide sufficient contrast.
Setting text

Avoid fitting text around images if this means that lines of text start in a
different place, and are therefore difficult to find. Set text horizontally
as text set vertically is extremely difficult for a partially sighted reader
to follow. Avoid setting text over images or textures as this will affect
the contrast.
Forms

Partially sighted people tend to have handwriting that is larger than
average, so allow extra space on forms. This will also benefit people with
conditions that affect the use of their hands, such as arthritis.
Navigational aids

It is helpful if recurring features, such as headings and page numbers, are
always in the same place. A contents list and rules to separate different
sections are also useful. Leave a space between paragraphs as dividing the
text up gives the eye a break and makes reading easier.
Printing

Avoid glossy paper because glare makes it difficult to read. Choose uncoated
paper that weighs over 90gsm. As a general rule, if the text is showing
through from the reverse side, then the paper is too thin.
