 Hi Mukesh

 They sent the first bill for my broadband connection which I got only
 back in last month. they didn't give concession so had to visit the
 BSNL commercial officer here in Bangalore to avail the concession and
 get the bill amended.
 Will be getting 20% off on every bill from next month onwards. just
 remind me in case I forget to send you a scanned copy of my bill if
 you still need it.

 Hello Mukesh,

 My bill won't solve your problem. I am using the home combo scheme. It
 does not require telephone rent. For Rs. 500 I get 1.5 gb free download
 and upload, free time from 2 A M to 8 A M, and 175 free calls on the
 landline number.

 BSNL does not offer more than one concession to one person. In their
 opinion home combo offers free telephone, so they did not allow further
 20% concession on it. Somebody else's telephone bill will help.


 With best regards,

 Hello Mukesh,

 The BSNL office in my area said the same. When I insisted, they 
 accepted

 my application and forwarded it to the higher authorities or concerned
 section. I was granted the concession after a few months. In fact, 
 they
 don't have provisions for this concession in all schemes in their
 software package. I was using home combo and there was no concession

[AI] NATIONAL AWARDES FOR PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED ANNOUNCED FOR THE YEAR 2010

[kodakkal shivaprasad]

Kolkata: Md. Mannan Biswas of North 24 Parganas district in West Bengal has 
been selected for the National Award for the Empowerment of Persons with 
Disabilities, 2010, which shall be conferred on him by President of India 
Pratibha Devisingh Patil on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 
on 3rd December in New Delhi.
Mannan is the only person selected from West Bengal under the category of ‘Best 
Employees/Self-employed with Disabilities Blindness’. Mannan’s research work in 
mushroom cultivation and training of village youth for the profession has 
brought him the honour.

Md. Mannan Biswas
In 1997 he heard a radio advertisement about Narendrapur Ramkrishna Mission 
which had launched an academy to teach the blind persons in one and half years. 
He trained from the academy in Mushroom cultivation. After the training, 10 
years ago, he started Mushroom cultivation in his home with the help of his 
child Mohinur who is reading in ‘Rajibpur Anglo Vernacular High School’. Day by 
day he increased his production and marketed in the cities like Howrah, Barasat 
and Saltlake.
Then he started training local youth who were interested in Mushroom 
cultivation. Lots of young boys have so far been trained by him and they have 
self-employed by growing Mushroom in their home. For Mannan’s extraordinary 
work, his village Malickberia is now called ‘Mushroom Village’.
Blind by birth Mannan is living in a remote village named Malickbaria under 
Ashok Nagar Police Station of District North 24 Parganas, about 70 kms from 
Kolkata.
Md Mannan Biswas is glad and now preparing to go to Delhi to accept the award

[AI] Should reservation in Employment extended to Promotions to Physically Challenged People ?

[kodakkal shivaprasad]

. The Disabled Persons employed in different 
Organisations in our Country are also human beings and there cannot and should 
not be any discrimination. Hence, my view conveyed through this mail to all is 
to convey to the Government of India that the Reservation for the Disabled 
Persons which exists for all Groups (both in Recruitment and in promotions) 
should continue in totality.

ATTACHED DOCUMENT OF CIRCULAR RELEASED BY DOPT NOT IN CLEAR ABOUT WHETHER IT 
INSISTS RESERVATIONS IN PROMOTIONS ALSO. BUT PUNJAB HIGH COURT HELD THAT THIS 
CIRCULAR INSISTS PROMOTION RESERVATIONS. HENCE MEMBERS SHOULD MAKE DIALOGUE 
ABOUT THIS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL MOVEMENT.

[AI] DIFFERENTLY ABLED CANDIDATES TO APPEAR FOR CAT

[kodakkal shivaprasad]

DIFFERENTLY ABLED CANDIDATES TO APPEAR FOR CAT

As many as 630 disabled students will battle it out for the three percent seats 
at the Indian Institutes of Management [IIMs], when they write the Common 
Admission Test ]CAT] on November 9th this year.
This year, the CAT committee has adopted a series of measures to make the test 
disabled friendly. From additional personnel for escorting the candidates, the 
CAT organizers appear to have geared up to conduct the computer based test 
[CBT] for the differently abled candidate. We have advised the administration 
at test centers to conduct the test on the ground floor for the differently 
abled candidates. Besides, we will provide testing aid for them said Himanshu 
Rai, Convener, CAT 210.

The guidelines drawn up by the IIMs have defined categories like low 
vision/blindness, hearing impairment, locomotor disability/cerebral palsy for 
differently, abled students. They will be allowed to use technical aids like 
abacus, hearing support, wheelchair, magnifying screen and scribe/reader. 
However all these approved means of assistance will have to be brought by the 
candidates.

Candidates suffering from low vision, blindness, cerebral palsy will be allowed 
to bring a scribe. Differently abled candidates will have to sit for a longer 
version of CAT exam at their specific test centers. The total time for the test 
under special accommodations will be increased from two and a half hours to 
three and a half hours. However, a differently abled candidate requiring 
support at the test can not re-schedule the test. But a differently abled 
candidate not requiring support during the test can res-schedule his/her test 
online. Candidates who have requested for support during their test should 
carry the authorization copy mailed to them by Prometric India.
ASSISTANCE : [1].] 69 CANDIDATES HAVE REQUESTED FOR TEST AIDS
[2]. 15 For Hearing Aids
[3]. 7 for Scribes
[4]. 11 for wheelchairs
[5]. 24 for magnifying glass

[AI] ROCKET ON FAKE DISABILITY CERTIFICATES IN KARNATAKA STATE

[kodakkal shivaprasad]

BANGALORE: Divya (name changed) claimed she was speech and hearing impaired, 
and even had a certificate to prove it. But when a Lokayukta health 
investigator whispered in her ear, What's your name?, she responded 
immediately: Divya. Don't be shocked. For, Divya is just one among many 
perfectly normal people who have got themselves a certificate attesting to 
their disability.

All they did was pay touts any amount between Rs 3,000 and Rs 5,000. The 
benefits are many: a monthly allowance of around Rs 1000, a bus/train pass, 
employment, identity card or even a telephone booth! Genuine certificates are 
issued free of cost by authorised hospitals.

Lokayukta investigators have unearthed a racket in which touts will help you 
get these certificates. Two NGOs dealing with disability, Angala Vikalara 
Jagruti Maha Samiti and Pragati Anga Vikalara Shema Abhivruddhi Sangha, lodged 
complaints with the Lokayukta office about discrepancies in issuing disability 
certificates. Subsequently, Lokayukta Justice N Santosh Hegde entrusted doctors 
of Health Foundation to investigate.

Investigators found material which indicated there was prima facie truth in the 
allegations and there're gross discrepancies while issuing certificates. Their 
complete report will be submitted to Justice Hegde soon.

While there were discrepancies in certificates issued by several hospitals in 
the city, the disability board of a government hospital is particularly 
notorious for violating guidelines. When Lokayukta investigators visited the 
board, instead of three experts who would issue certificates as stipulated in 
central government guidelines, five doctors of different specialialites were 
examining people. These experts were paid Rs 800 per visit and they were not 
government employees but private practitioners.

Lokayukta investigators — Dr C S Hanumanthappa, Dr R Chandrasekhara, Dr K 
Srinivasa Murthy and Dr K R Kamath — raided the board and after finding many 
discrepancies, summoned around 40 people who had been issued disability 
certifica-tes. Only 26 of them turned up. Instead of regular doctors, we 
called doctors from Bowring Hospital and Victoria Hospital.

Many cases were found faulty. The institute is supposed to rehabilitate 
disabled persons by issuing them aids like Jaipur Foot or hearing aids and 
training them but none of it was done. They were only issuing certificates, 
Lokayukta investigators, who were part of the raid, told TOI.

It's not surprising that just after the raid, the board wound up operations in 
a mysterious manner and said it was no longer authorised to issue certificates. 
Equipment and aids worth crores are lying unused in that defunct building.

[AI] NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION's INITIATIVE ON DISABILITY ISSUE

[kodakkal shivaprasad]

Book Release
Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities - A guide by Commonwealth 
Secretariat


New Delhi, September 3rd, 2010

The approach to people with disabilities both nationally and internationally, 
has, for far too long, been built on a model of care and entitlement based on 
charity. There is a paradigm shift in the approach regarding the rights of 
persons with disability from the charity model to a human rights based model. 
The human rights model positions disability as an important dimension of human 
culture, and, it affirms that all human beings irrespective of their 
disabilities have certain rights which are inalienable.

The National Human Rights Commission has been deeply concerned about the 
protection and promotion of rights of persons with disabilities. The Commission 
is of the view that the persons with disabilities should enjoy all human rights 
on an equal basis with others. Towards this end, the Commission has adopted a 
multi-pronged approach which includes redressal of individual complaints, 
legislative and policy reform, spreading of awareness etc.

The Commission has been involved since the formative stages of the UN 
Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The Commission 
advocated the ratification of the UN convention and finally the Government of 
India ratified the Convention on 1st October 2007.

As a follow up action, the Commission appointed a Special Rapporteur on 
Disability related issues and constituted a Core Advisory Group on Disability 
to advise the Commission on matters connected with and incidental to the 
promotion, protection and monitoring of the human rights for persons with 
disabilities.

With a view to assess whether existing Programmes and Policies for persons with 
disabilities are having the desired impact and to identify gaps in 
implementation, if any, and to suggest appropriate strategies to deal with 
them, the Commission organized five Regional review meetings on Disability 
during 2008-09 in various parts of the country.

The Commission has advocated to the Government of India for the ratification of 
Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with 
Disabilities. The Commission is of the view that the Optional Protocol will 
strengthen the accountability mechanism and serve as an additional tool for the 
promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities.

The Commission reviewed The Copy Right (Amendment) Bill, 2010 from Human Rights 
perspective and noted that it does not meet the demand of print disabled 
person. With a view to protect the rights of the print disabled people, the 
Commission made recommendations for amendments in The Copy Right (Amendment) 
Bill, 2010 which is being examined by the Parliamentary Standing Committee.

With a view to monitor the implementation of various laws, policies, concerning 
the rights of the persons with disabilities, Special Rapporteurs, NHRC have 
been visiting various states. The Commission has also asked all the State 
Governments to give wide publicity to UNPRCD to create awareness regarding the 
rights of persons with disabilities.

With a view to create awareness and sensitize various stakeholders regarding 
the various provisions of CRPD, the Commonwealth Secretariat has published a 
book entitled Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities - A guide by 
Commonwealth Secretariat. This book enumerates various provisions of the 
Convention in a very simple and informative manner. It not only clarifies that 
States should not discriminate against persons with disabilities, but also sets 
out the many steps that States must take to create an enabling environment so 
that persons with disabilities can enjoy real equality in society. Further, 
this book is also accessible to the persons with visual impairments. This 
publication has been released simultaneously at the four centers around the 
world by the Commonwealth Secretariat. In recognition of the work done by NHRC 
in the field of protecting and promoting Human Rights of persons with 
disabilities, NHRC is selected as one of the four
 institutions for releasing this book.

Today on 3rd September, 2010 Hon'ble Chairperson, National Human Rights 
Commission, Justice Shri K.G. Balakrishnan has released the book in a function 
organized in the National Human Rights Commission. Justice Shri G.P. Mathur, 
Justice Shri B.C. Patel, Shri Satyabrata Pal and Shri P.C. Sharma Hon'ble 
Members, NHRC were also present. The function was also attended by Shri K.S. 
Money, Secretary General, NHRC, representatives of Union Ministry of Social 
Justice  Empowerment and Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disability, 
Members of NHRC Core Group on Disability and NGOs working in the disability 
sector.

[AI] GOVERNMENTS RAPPED FOR INACTION OVER DISABILITY ISSUE

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

State government rapped for inaction over disability issue



The state government faced the Bombay High Court's ire for not 

complying with its August 9, order for filling up vacancies reserved 

for the disabled by July 31.



Stating that inaction was writ large on the government's face, a 

division bench of Justices R M Lodha and S A Bobde extended the 

deadline by three more months.



The Court said that unless the backlog - as on June 30 - is filled, 

the government and its 27 departments would be restrained from any 

recruitment for any post on which a handicapped person could be 

appointed.



While hearing the two public interest litigations filed by the 

National Federation of Blind (NFB) and ILS Legal Aid, the Court 

expressed unhappiness over the affidavit filed by the Chief Secretary 

D K Sankaran and said that it was clearly an eyewash and the claim 

was hollow.



The Court also came down heavily on Associate Advocate-General 

Ashutosh Kumbhakoni when he said that 22.81 per cent of the total 

vacancies for the disabled were to be filled.



If the government does not know what it's doing, then it should stop 

functioning, Justice Lodha said, adding that the government has put 

the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of 

Rights and Full Participation) Act 1995, in cold storage with no 

effort to implement it.



On August 9, the High Court issued a show-cause notice to Sankaran 

asking why contempt proceedings should not be initiated against him 

for not complying with the February 14 order to fill up vacancies.



Deputy Secretary (Social Justice) Special Assistance Department Jagdeo 

Rathod, in his affidavit, stated that of the 19,202 vacancies reserved 

for handicapped - blind or low vision, hearing-impaired, locomotive 

disability or cerebral palsy, 10,082 had been filled.



However, the affidavit filed by Sankaran a month later, said only 

around 2,700 vacancies were to be filled. This claim was disputed by 

Advocate Uday Warunjikar, appearing for the NFB.



Justice Lodha, then directed Kumbhakoni to ensure that the 

petitioners' advocates be given registers of all 27 government 

departments on September 14, to inspect the total recruitment and 

vacancies in each department till June 30.



The Court directed Disability Commissioner R K Gaikwad to remain 

present for the next hearing on October 5 and file an affidavit in 

three week indicating the exact number of vacancies and fill up the 

backlogs within three months.

[AI] RESOURCE GUIDE FOR VISION IMPAIREMENTS

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  Resource Guide for Individuals with Vision Difficulties and 
Impairments

About Vision Difficulties and Impairments

Vision difficulties and impairments include low vision, color 
blindness, and blindness. Among adult computer users in the United 
States, 1 in 4 (27%) have a vision difficulty (see study). There are 
many options for individuals with vision difficulties to modify the 
computer displays and appearance so it is more legible, or receive 
information through sound or touch. Those who are blind cannot use a 
computer monitor and but have the option to receive information from 
their computers through hearing or touch offered through screen 
readers and Braille displays.

Assistive Technology

Products compatible with Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, made 
by independent assistive technology manufacturers, are included in the 
assistive technology catalog. People who have vision difficulties and 
impairments may be interested in the following assistive technology:

Screen enlargers (or screen magnifiers) work like a magnifying glass. 
They enlarge a portion of the screen as the user moves the focus—
increasing legibility for some users. Some screen enlargers allow a 
user to zoom in and out on a particular area of the screen.
Screen readers are software programs that present graphics and text as 
speech. A screen reader is used to verbalize, or speak, everything 
on the screen including names and descriptions of control buttons, 
menus, text, and punctuation.
Speech recognition systems, also called voice recognition programs, 
allow people to give commands and enter data using their voices rather 
than a mouse or keyboard.
Speech synthesizers (often referred to as text-to-speech (TTS) 
systems) receive information going to the screen in the form of 
letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, and then speak it out loud. 
Using speech synthesizers allows blind users to review their input as 
they type.
Refreshable Braille displays provide tactile output of information 
represented on the computer screen. The user reads the Braille letters 
with his or her fingers, and then, after a line is read, refreshes the 
display to read the next line.
Braille embossers transfer computer generated text into embossed 
Braille output. Braille translation programs convert text scanned in 
or generated via standard word processing programs into Braille, which 
can be printed on the embosser.
Talking word processors are software programs that use speech 
synthesizers to provide auditory feedback of what is typed.
Large-print word processors allow the user to view everything in large 
text without added screen enlargement.

Re: [AI] SUGGESTION FOR RTI ACT

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  Parliament is inviting suggestions on the implementation of the 
RTI
ACT 2005. So do send your suggestions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
with a

cc to to us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for wider dissemination and
discussion. and following are my discussion sent to parliament 
of

india :-

1. HAVE YOU FACED ANY PROBLEMS USING RTI ?

Answers: No, I have issued several court suo-motto notices,
directions, enquiry notices and also lawyer notices to several
government offices, institutions,establishments have never faced
/forced to issue RTI applications. As some one offices I have 
touched
was reacted suddently after issuing lawyer's information letter, 
so
it's not my lpractice to issue RTI application about the 
grievances I
have faced in any koffices. It needlessly say here that during 
that
period there have no such acts like RTI and people used to 
obtain
information only by issuing lawyer notice, court intervention 
etc.
Hence present RTI act is very useful and economically be 
appraisable

to poor people like in india.

2. WHAT SORT OF PROBLEMS YOU HAVE FACED?
I am an clean activist for disabled person's rights and their
movements. When government of India passed an amendment called 
Persons
with Disability[Equal Opportunity  Protection ] Act 1995 but was 
not

implimented even after 3 years gap when parliment has passed the
amendment for disability act. After watching the time being I
approached the relevent central government offices to enact the
disability act and sought for the informatioln. But non-one has
responded for my querry on information nor given any records.
Therefore I approached an public litigation maintaining NGO 
named
COMMON CAUSE at New Delhi, then Common Cause issued information 
letter

to the Secretary Governemnt of India and the department was not
reacted well in time. Governement's approach on a casual 
attitude
towards prestigious NGOs forced me to complain before National 
Human
Rights Commission, New Delhi, and NHRC sought information and 
directed
the concerned department to issue relevent records, information to 
me.
Accordingly Secretary,Governemnt of india immediately reacted 
and
despated me the Gazette of India which having important clues 
and
notification on PERSONS with DISABILITY ACT -1995 and also 
appointed

Chief Commissioner for Disabilities in New Delhi and subsequent
Commissioners in all capital city of a state. Hence using RTI
application was not arise at this stage.
3. ACCORDINGLY WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU SUGGEST IN WHICH SPECIFIC 
CLUES

?

As present system is not able to popularise RTI Act,hence an 
awarness

among public by following systems is be implimented:-
[a] It's better to propularise RTI Act among general public and 
also

for illeterate persons.
[b] By using news paper advertisemnts, TV slide shows, 
wall-posters,
it could be well behaved for each one and expected to be 
encouragement

to the concerned people in

a state also.

[c] In my openion RTI was not popularised about what purpose4 the 
RTI
has been established and the real purpose of the act etc in 
general

public, due to this several

people

using this act as a casual approach also, thereby precious 
times,
workforce, ideas perhaps could l be destroyed in several 
occassions.

Hence it's necessary to

highlight

the necessity by using RTI on a wide colour sentences, words etc. 
It

is better to release press statements for inviting slogans about
popularising RTI Act in society.

4. IN WHAT WAYS IS RTI BEING MIS-USED ? WHAT PROBLEM IS SUCH 
MIS-USE

CAUSING ?

Some people using illeterate person for mis-handling the RTI Act 
for
pettitious gain like prestige making, money lending and any 
other
undisclosed purposes Some times it was used for black-mailing 
the
concerned offices of it's subsidieries in what we not to 
disclose

here.

Due to mis-using the RTI act following are the problems we 
should

face:-

[a] Precious times be destroyed/wasted
[b] Institutions/authorities may be on black-mailed

[c] Some one could be manage to mis-lead an office or authorities 
for

pittitious gain.

[d] Concerned offices slowly undergone mind arrest on a way for 
not

understanding maintainance and the basic necessity kof RTI Act

[e] Public image be targetted for bad sequances etc.

5. IF YOU HAVE NOT USED RTI TO RESOLVE YOUR PROBLEM, WHY NOT ?

So that authorties I have contacted well reacted for my querries 
in

letters and also during the movement when I was in active with
movements then RTI Act was not in force and was not popularised 
for
how to utilise the act etc, therefore not using the RTI Act was 
not

arise at this stage.

[AI] ESSAY COMPETITION FOR DISABLED

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  ALL INDIA ESSAY COMPETITION FOR DISABLED PERSONS
ON
EXPECTATIONS OF THE DISABLED PERSONS AND THEIR SUGGESTIONS ON 
SUPPORT

SCHEMES

In the context of the forthcoming world disabled day on 3rd 
Dec.2008,

disabled

persons.

More than 90% of the disabled persons belong to lower income 
group.
with inadequate income and family support and lack of education 
and

skill acquisition opportunities, many disabled persons live in
extremely stressful conditions.

While there are number of governmental schemes and several NGOs 
are
extending support measures to disabled persons, still the 
solutions

for their problems in full measure are no where in sight.

It is necessary to give an opportunity to the disabled persons
themselves to express their views and suggest solutions, so that 
the
policy makers and the concerned NGOs can make their plans to 
extend
support to the disabled persons , keeping the ground realities 
in

view.

This essay competition is being organised to encourage the 
disabled
persons to introspect on their problems and suggest solutions 
based on

their own experience and expectations.

ELIGIBILITY :

The essay competition is open for disabled persons all over 
India

irrespective of age and educational level.

SIZE OF THE ESSAY :

The essay should not exceed 1000 words and can be written in 
English,

Hindi or Tamil.

The visually impaired person can write the essay in braille 
language
or can send an audio cassette. Those who have no literacy and can 
not

write an essay can send their views in audio cassette.

CASH AWARDS :

Twenty cash awards would be presented to the winners in the All 
India

essay competition.

[AI] SOME IMPORTANT JUDGEMENTS ON DISABILITY GRIENVANCES

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  
Docket:  Sudarshan Kumar vs. Deputy Commissioner, Hoshiarpur and Ors. 
Court of the Chief Commissioner for Disabilities, Punjab 2008 

A case which obtained a conveyance allowance for a disabled man 


   
Sudarshan Kumar was employed in the Office of the Deputy Commisioner, 
Hoshiarpur when he was forced to undergo surgery in 1994 to remove one of his 
kidneys. In 1996, the Punjab Government issued a directive stating that removal 
of one kidney constitutes a 60% disability for employment and other purposes.
 
Case Details and Status 
In 2002, Mr. Kumar obtained a 60% disability certificate from the state medical 
board and promptly showed it to his employer, asking for a conveyance stipend. 
Despite this clear evidence, his employer refused. Mr. Kumar consulted with 
HRLN-Chandigarh and filed a petition before the Chief Commissioner for 
Disabilities, Punjab to receive his due conveyance allowance. The respondents 
tried to claim that since the conveyance allowance was established in 1982, 
before the Disability Act, it was not enforceable under the Act. In an order 
dated 5.3.2008, the Chief Commissioner rejected this argument and granted Mr. 
Kumar the conveyance allowance in stipulated amount of Rs. 250/month.

2.  
Docket:  Surinder Pal vs. Director of Public Instruction 
Court of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Punjab 2007 

A case which obtained a job as a lecturer for a disabled man 

   
Surinder Pal is a physics teacher by trade who was trying to get a job as a 
lecturer Punjab, responding to an advertisement that 20 of the 658 slots would 
be reserved for persons with disabilities…
 
Case Details and Status 
Mr. Pal has a locomotor disability. The 20 slots were to be divided equally 
among males and females. When Mr. Pal’s application was being considered 18 had 
been filled by 10 females and 8 males. Mr. Pal was 3rd on the merit list for 
the two slots, and therefore was rejected, despite the fact that he was the 
highest male on the list. 

He consulted with HRLN-Chandigarh and filed a petition in before the Chief 
Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Punjab. After hearing arguments and 
issuing preliminary orders to get the uncooperative respondents to comply with 
requests for information, the Commissioner issued a final order on 18.9.2007, 
ordering that Mr. Pal be given his post immediately.







3. 
Docket:  Sukhdev Singh vs. HPVNL, Panchkula 
Court of Chief Commissioner for Disabilities, Hary 

A case which obtained back pay for a disabled employee whose just promotion was 
unfairly delayed 



   
Sukhdev Singh was employed as a cane weaver in the Panchkula HPVNL since 1986. 
After he had been working for five years, he expected to be considered for a 
promotion as per the organization’s policy…
 
Case Details and Status 
When he wasn’t, he filed a petition before the Punjab and Haryana High Court. 
In 2005, the High Court ruled that he must be promoted. The order was complied 
with and Mr. Singh was promoted to clerk in 2005. Since the promotion should 
have occurred much earlier, Mr. Singh asked for some compensation for the 
almost 10 year period during which he was denied the benefit of his promotion. 

To obtain his due compensation, Mr. Singh consulted with HRLN-Chandigarh and a 
petition was brought before the Chief Commissioner for Disabilities, Haryana. 
After hearing arguments, the Commissioner ordered that Mr. Singh be given back 
pay and other withheld benefits from the date on which he should have been 
promoted.

[AI] JUDGEMENT ON BLIND PERSONS HIRING FOR LECTURER POST

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  
Docket:  Sambhavana vs. University of Delhi and Ors. 
Delhi High Court, 2007 

A PIL that resulted in the hiring of 70 blind lecturers 

   
In 1994, Delhi University passed a forward thinking resolution calling for a 3% 
reservation for blind and Orthopedically handicapped persons in the teaching 
departments in the University and the colleges affiliated with it. A year 
later, the Central government passed the Persons with disabilities act, which 
provided for 3 % reservations for PWD’s.
 
Case Details and Status 
Despite these two measures, implementation was non existent as of 2001. In an 
order dated 30.1.2001, the Delhi High Court took the University and the 
affiliated colleges to task for their ineptitude and demanded that steps be 
taken immediately to hire more disabled lecturers. 

Despite this order, the University and the colleges continued with their 
blatant non-compliance, especially with regards to hiring visually impaired 
persons. To combat this, a series of public interest petitions were filed on 
behalf of a society of disabled employees of Delhi University. In a series of 
orders beginning on 4.4.07, the High Court ordered the university to stay the 
hiring process for all the relevant positions until the requisite reservations 
were met and directed them to take all steps to make it happen as soon as 
possible. As a result of the orders, 70 blind lecturers were hired by Delhi 
University and the affiliated colleges.

  Date: Sunday, October 5, 2008, 11:12 AM
  hello all at accessindia
  due to exams, assignments, busy college life, i'm not
  able to post
  very much to the list, but this time, i have to ask few
  questions and
  hoping to get some suggestions too.
 
  few days ago, my PCI.sys file got corrupt and i had to wate
  til some
  sited person arive so that i can fix it with bootable disk
  of windows.
  ( how depended is that? )
  anyways, so the point of story is,
  unlike linux/unix, windows doesn't have any
  screenreader which can
  read console messages and tell user about status of the
  boot process.
  however, if we can code in c / cpp, this can be achieved.
  the application will have to directly interpret with the
  bios, so i
  understand its not easy task, but, if we write code and put
  it on a
  bootable disk, and then let windows load, i guess, we can
  read out the
  boot progress.
  due to its high complexity, i'll be very glad if some
  institution like
  NAB delhi or karishma enterprise can throw some more light
  on this
  subject.
  i'm also open to any discussion for the same off-list
  if its about the
  programming concepts and ideas.
  also, with free speech synths like ESpeak, we have a very
  good chance
  of getting it as freeware.
  so, lets see where and how far we can progress in this
  field.
 
  also, as far as i remember, there use to be a shortcut to
  turn off the
  display of the laptop and still continuing to work on the
  process, the
  shortcut was something with function key i remember.
  oh, and btw, i'm using compaq laptop.
  if we can turn off the display screen, i suppose, we can
  increase the
  battery life by up to 25%.
 
  i think, that's all for now.
  regards,
 
  ruchir.

  I will stay by your side,

[AI] GOVT. DECISION WILL BRING BETTER MOBILITY FOR DISABLED

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  
Govt decision will bring better mobility for physically challenged

In a move that could bring about better and safer mobility for the physically 
challenged people, the Union government has restored the power to approve 
retrofitted two-wheelers by state governments under the Motor Vehicles Act.



A few years back, this power was withdrawn as it was misused by vehicle owners 
who made changes to the two-wheelers, altering the fundamental safety features 
built in by two-wheeler manufacturers.

The Ministry of Shipping, Road Transport and Highways, in a notification issued 
last week, has granted exemption from alternation in motorcycles to be used by 
physically challenged people that can be approved by state governments.

While granting this power, the Union government has also brought in clear 
guidelines on how these changes can be made, who can make them and a stringent 
set of guidelines for approvals. These vehicles will also bear the insignia 
(see logo) to indicate that the owner of the vehicle is a physically challenged 
person.

Changes mandated by this notification include shifting of leg controls (like 
gear and brakes) to hand control as well as either hand-start or electric start 
to make driving easier for the physically challenged people.

Two more features will also be added to the vehicle, such as the ‘intentional 
locking mechanism’ that will help the person alight the vehicle without the 
risk of roll-over and clamping arrangements carrying crutches.

The kits for converting regular two-wheelers to those for the physically 
challenged will be sold only by select manufacturers who will need prior 
approval from the government after testing for brakes and ability to handle 
gradation.

Only workshops approved for fitment of the kits can make the changes to the 
vehicle. The approval, according to this notification, will be based on 
competence, availability of necessary equipment, experience in the relevant 
field and manpower.

Further, different types of disabilities have been now listed which can be 
given driving licence. Medical certificates approving the ability of the user 
to drive the vehicle will be given at the district level by a duly constituted 
board with the chief medical officer as its chairman

[AI] DISABILITY ACT SHOULD BE PROPERLY ENFORCED SAYS HIGH COURT JUDGE

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

BANGALORE: Karnataka High Court judge V. Gopala Gowda on Thursday 
said if the disabled persons did not get equal opportunities even 
after 10 years of the enactment of the Persons with Disabilities 
Act, 1995, there must be something wrong in governance.

Speaking after inaugurating a conference on the implementation of 
the Act organised by the State Commissioner for Persons with 
Disabilities here, Mr. Gowda urged the State and Union governments 
to implement the Act in letter and spirit.

Mr. Gowda said courts, including the Supreme Court, always 
favoured equal opportunities for disabled persons and had often 
come to their rescue.

He urged the disabled persons to approach courts and legal 
services authorities to redress their grievances.

In a presentation, an official of the office of the Commissioner 
for Persons with Disabilities said though the State 
Commissionerate was adjudged the best by the chief commissioner, 
there were several grey areas where justice had to be done to 
disabled persons. While five per cent reservation in government 
jobs was yet to be provided, insufficient budgetary allocation was 
coming in the way of implementation of many schemes for the 
disabled.

Twenty of the 27 offices of deputy commissioner in State were 
situated on the first floor denying free access for the 
disabled.

There was no separate finance corporation on the lines of the one 
in other States to fund projects to be taken up by the disabled.

Also, medical boards established at district headquarters to 
certify disability were not functioning properly. Officials of 
various government departments made a presentation on the plan of 
action for implementation of the Act. Principal Secretary (Women 
and Child Development) Ranjini Srikumar and Commissioner for 
Persons with Disabilities L. Krishnamurthy were present.

Subject: - Incentives to employers in the private sector for providing 
employment to
the persons with disabilities - Regarding.
Sir/Madam,
I am directed to say that the most important aspect of rehabilitation of persons
with disabilities is their economic rehabilitation, which can be achieved by 
providing
employment or through self-employment. Government has been promoting the 
selfemployment
of persons with disabilities by providing vocational training and loan on
concessional rates through National Handicapped Finance and Development 
Corporation
(NHFDC). Employment of persons with disabilities in the Government is promoted
through reservation. Section 33 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal 
Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 provides for a 
reservation of 3% in
the vacancies in identified posts (1% each for persons with blindness or low 
vision,
hearing impairment and locomotor disability or cerebral palsy) in the Government
establishments including the Public Sector Undertakings. To promote employment 
of
1
persons with disabilities in the expanding private sector, it has been decided 
that
incentives be provided to the private sector employers.
2. Section 41 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection 
of
Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 provides for incentives to employers 
to ensure
that at least five percent of their work force was composed of persons with 
disabilities.
The National Policy for Persons with Disabilities, which was adopted in 2006 
also lays
down that pro-active measures will be taken to provide incentives, awards, tax
exemptions etc. to encourage employment of persons with disabilities in private 
sector.
Accordingly, Finance Minister in his Budget Speech had announced a Scheme for
employment of physically challenged in the organised sector.
3. After consideration, the Government has approved the enclosed scheme of
providing incentives to the employers in the private sector. Under the scheme, 
the
employees with disabilities covered under the Persons with Disabilities (Equal
Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 and the 
National
Trust for Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and
Multiple Disabilities Act, 1999 and working in the private sector, with monthly 
wage up
to Rs.25000/- per month would be covered. The scheme would be applicable to all 
the
employees with disabilities, who are appointed on or after 1.4.2008.
4. It is requested that the above scheme may please be brought to the notice of 
all
concerned including the State Chambers of Commerce  Industry, District Industry
Centres, Employment Exchanges, Special Employment Exchanges, Vocational Training

[AI] DISABLED MEDICOS STUDENTS IN CRISIS

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

CPI plea in HC over disqualification of disabled medicos

CPI Andhra Pradesh Council Secretary K Narayana today sent a 
telegram to the High Court requesting that it be treated as a 
Public Interest Litigation (PIL) on the issue of disqualification 
of disabled medical students in the MBBS course.

In the telegram, he submitted that according to media report, the 
admission of 20 disabled students to the MBBS course had been 
cancelled. The cancellation had taken place after the students 
completed one-year of course, following a direction from the 
Medical Council of India.

Why these 20 disabled students should suffer for the mistake of 
NTR Health University, he contended and submitted that the MCI's 
behaviour was inhuman and against the principles of natural 
justice.

[AI] COMPUTERS TO REDUCE GAP BETWEEN ABLE DISABLED

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  
COMPUTERS TO REDUCE GAP BETWEEN ABLE  DISABLED

Efforts are underway to come up with a more user friendly computer that 
responds to physically challenged individuals.  Current designs are 
particularly frustrating for the disabled, the elderly and anybody who had 
trouble with a mouse.  A new approach developed by Washington University 
researchers would put each person through a brief skills test and generate a 
mathematically based version of the user interface optimized for his or her 
vision and motor abilities.  Assistive technologies are built on  the 
assumption that it’s the people who have to adapt to the technology.  We tried 
to reverse this assumption, and make the software adapt to people, said the 
study’s co-author.  Tests showed the system closed the performance gap between 
disabled and able bodied users by 62 percent and disabled users strongly 
preferred the automatically generated inter faces.  This shows that 
automatically generating personalized interfaces really do work, and the 
technology is ready for prime time, the author said.  The system called supple 
begins with a one-time assessment of a person’s mouse pointing, dragging and 
clicking skills. A ring of dots appears on the screen and as each dot lights up 
the user must quickly click  on it.  The task is repeated with different  sized 
dots.  Other prompts ask the  participant to click and drag, select from a list 
and click  repeatedly on one spot.  Participants can move the cursor using any 
type of device.  The test takes about 20 minutes for an able bodied person or 
up to 90 minutes for a person with motor disabilities.

Researchers tested the system last summer on six able-bodied people and 11 
people with motor impairments.  The resulting interfaces showed one size 
definitely did not fit all.  A man with severe cerebral palsy used his chin to 
control a trackball and could move the pointer quickly but spastically.  Based 
on his skills test, supple generated a user interface where  all the targets 
were bigger than normal, and lists were expanded to minimize scrolling.,  In 
contrast, a woman with muscular dystrophy who participated in the study used 
both hands to move a mouse.  She could make very precise movements but moved 
the cursor very slowly and with great effort because of weak muscles.  Based on 
her results, supple automatically generated an interface with small buttons and 
a compressed layout.

[KODAKKAL SHIVAPRASAD]

  
LEGAL AID CELL OF SOCIETY FOR CHILD DEVELOPMENT's TIMELY INTERVENTION GETS SOME 
ONE HIS RIGHT FULL PROMOTION


It’s indeed happy to write here that Mr.Subramaniyan Eswaran ,who is 
orthopadically handicapped, working with SIDB an semi governmental bank as an 
Assistant General Manager had denied his promotion for the next higher cadre to 
Deputy General Manager from his higher authority. On hearing about my personal 
websites, Mr.Subramaniyan Eswaran contacted me for redressal about his 
promotion grievances. Then I collected all his documents and posted them in to 
Legal Aid Cell, at www.disabilityindia.org . Immediately legal counselor, 
registered his grievances as Case No.45/2007 at Society for Child Development 
[a Subsidiary of Disability India Net Work] and proceeded further and finally 
Mr.Eswaran get success in his case  got promoted to the rank of Deputy General 
Manager , and I am produced here below his personal message send to me in 2 
parts:


Letter No.1:-


Dear KoddakkalShivprasad,

I am extremely thankful for your support and
cooperation given to me for seeking my rights as a
disabled employee.

By the Grace of GOD, I got my promotion this year, and
have now been posted to Lucknow around 2000 miles away
from my hometown. I had already served a full 5 year
term in Lucknow and this is my second positing.

Although they were unhappy that I could get my
promotion through the reservation policy, probably
they did not want to give it easy to me and hence this
treatment.

For the time being I am accepting it and shall take up
the cause at the appropriate time.

Thanking you,
with kind regards,
I remain,
Yours sincerely,

easwhar

Letter No.2


Dear Shri Shivaprasad,

Though you had registered my name with the Legal Aid
Cell, I had proceeded further through them. However,
your circulars and other information relating to
reservation for PH persons etc. were brought to the
notice of my management. Further, there were
evidences regarding the results produced by my team
for the work rendered and the Management was convinced
that there has been foul play in my case.
Incidentally, the automatic promotion which was denied
earlier, deliberately, by my senior officer once again
was in the negative and I did not receive the benefits
even for the 2nd consecutive year. Although the
Management was able to see the results from our
performance, the automatic promotion etc. were not
given which they felt was true injustice to me.
Hence, they were able to give the due credit in this
form.

I sincerely once again thank you for all the pains and
effort taken to help me in this case and you too are
part of my success.

regards
easwhar


We may send our gratitude to appreciate Legal Aid Cell at 
www.disabilityindia.org and it’s head Dr.Madhumita Puri for their sincere 
efforts and dedicated service to physically challenged people to get their 
rightful promotions etc.
