[AI] recognized singig courses and personal mentoring

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi folks,
I am keen to take singing as my passion. Could any one connect me to any
such relevant institute who can help me in achieving this goal. I would be
able to devote time only as a part time or week end aspirant. It can be
online, or in suburbs of Mumbai. I would also need a professional
certification. I would need to begin with foundational, and then I may go
ahead for advance learning.

Thanks,

Re: [AI] Urban Company-on the path to become accessible

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,
has any one on the list used OLA cab app. Earlier version were
accessible. On the other hand Uber is presently fairly accessible. I
was unable to select cabs on Ola, as talk back was announcing only
prime which was by default selected, and I was unable to switch.

Hi,

Re: [AI] Petition against stray dogs and other such animal bites and attacks against the blind and physically challenged

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi.
Can we file a suit on the ground of RPWD act 2016 which mandates on
barrier free physical infrastructure accessibility? Can few among you
record a 5- 15 second video for me to upload on the petition page?
https://chng.it/VMv5gJz24y
@mission accessibility. Is the above possible? Would the court direct
the government to build a shelter for this stray animals, and at the
same time protect our rights of physical accessibility? If both the
central and state government can come out with a relief fund which
would be 100% tax exempted for supporting the government to construct
such accommodation for these animals where even their safety and
survival could be taken care with the help of such donation from the
citizon.

Friends,

proclaim to have a efficient, and reasonable smart glasses which would

[AI] Petition against stray dogs and other such animal bites and attacks against the blind and physically challenged

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Friends,
I've made this petition for creating a safe environment for both the
person with disability, and stray animals who often bites and attack
the blind and other vulnerable physically challenged people. This also
creates financial burden for treatment, and also have a threat of
rabies infection or other dreadful disease due to such bites. I
request you to sign this petition, and if you know that any such
online petition already exists, then please share the same on the
list. I would like to take this petition back, and sign that petition
rather.

Re: [AI] Guidance regarding Railway concession E-card

[Pinkesh Tailor]

@Rahul,

there is a captcha on this website, that is the first one which is for
online application, and uploading document. When it already sends an
sms OTP, then why this captcha is required? I belong to western part
of Mumbai, and you know what, I was unable to apply online because the
western railway stations are not there in the list of station for
Mumbai. I had raised this as a grievance to the Pgms portal, and with
the railway board, but the tragedy is that "jiski lathi, uski bhais".
They just gave a reply stating that this is just on pilot basis. I
couldn't understand that why the hell all the stations of Mumbai were
present, except the western Mumbai? Even the concession is provided
only to 100% blind, where in the RPWD act states that all the benefits
and concession would be provided to 40% and above. Such concession is
available with the railways for orthopedic challenge who is 40%, but
this is not available to a blind who is 40% with permeant, and
progressive condition. However I had to apply manually by submitting
the documents at the western Mumbai DRM office, and I got the online
concession card after two months, and had to sent my spouse again for
the second time to collect the card.
@Ajay. Also note, just the UDID card is not sufficient for the online
concession card. You would need to get off-line concession certificate
from your hospital who have done the diagnosis. Only then on the basis
of this off-line railway concession certificate, you will be able to
apply for online concession card, and that too if your station, and
your hospital is present on the portal given

It should be approx around 1 crore including total, partial, low
vision who are legally blind. National association for the blind or
similar such body might be able to give proper numbers as of 2023.

Re: [AI] MA Update | Progress on the CCPD Notices to Inaccessible Service Providers

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,
there is no end to this requirement. The best thing is to execute the
implementation of law which binds all the body whether public or
private to make physical and digital space accessible to PWDs. CCPD do
not hold any legal implication on these entity, as they are not
empowered to pass verdict and judgement for any positive outcome, and
do not essentially enforce accessibility in its legal framework. There
are many of us who work with various organizations. Have any one of
them successfully by any means of politeness able to achieve
accessibility within their organization in its true spirit? I know one
of the public sector bank who have recently declined CCPD's notice to
identify, and map jobs accordingly to the strengths of visually
impaired employees. Lately, just last week I had attended to the
off-campus online entrance test of Amity university from home itself,
and they have not followed any mandated requirements such as provision
of additional time, exemption to visual or graphical based question
etc. Despite of notifying about the disability during the application
stage only, they were not bonded by any law to provide me with
reasonable accommodation mandated by the RPWD act for equal rights in
education.

Re: [AI] Are publishers in India obligated to provide soft copies to the blind on request?

[Pinkesh Tailor]

I think, you should raise this at CCPD. Until and unless these matters
are silent, there would be no update on this issue by the government.
Secondly since the demand for higher, and doctoral studies are very
poor amongst blind, do not expect these NGO's to offer any help to you
in this regards. This is your own battle, and you have to fight on
your own. Others would just comment, and give you some advise. I wish
that there would be a law under RPWD act which would mandate all at
least Indian publisher to make the books available in multiple
formats. Just as it is available in developed countries.

Re: [AI] Developing devices with and for the Visually Impaired

Can some artificial intelligent robot be developed at a very, very,
affordable cost who can assist like a sighted escort. This is just
inline of what Tesla is trying to innovate towards a driverless car.
Then why not a safe and carefree navigation on feet with a intelligent
bot? to be named as "Sathi Andhero ka" :)

Re: [AI] Red Alert! Monsoon Mazaa or Disability Distress?

[Pinkesh Tailor]

I think Covid has also given an opportunity for work from home or
online sessions. The special leaves for such employees should be made
mandatory across all spectrum of organizations. And we must be
careful, and avoid stepping out when there are such alerts. This are
all very risky preposition, and our safety must be our priority and
not the job during these days.

Re: [AI] Workshop Announcement:

[Pinkesh Tailor]

I guess voice vision at Mumbai had conducted this workshop a few years
back. Could the same be conducted at Mumbai and other parts of nation
every now and then? This is also the need of the hour. Even if this is
a paid workshop, it would still make sense. It would cover the basic
cost of rent, meal etc. for the one who are organizing the same.

Re: [AI] UDID CARD

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Each state and city have their own version for issuing udid card.
There is no centralize or common SOP on carrying out the same.

[AI] Railways online concession application through their portals

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hello friends,

Recently I tried to upload documents on the divyangjan portal which
serves only Mumbai city, I was surprised to see that no western
railway stations were in this list. The form asks for closest railway
station to the hospital which issued the disability certificate. I had
to select central railway station and the they rejected the
application after 18 days stating that your hospital falls in western
railways so you have to submit your application to Mumbai central DRM
office.
Railways have unnecessarily created several portals for online
concession card, and many of them are very difficult to be traced as
they don't indicate the locality of the portal. Delhi, South state,
eastern states etc. have different portals. For example a Google
search displayed one portal "rail sarthi", only contained Ahmedabad,
and Baroda, and not all the western zone. I was keen to understand
that why don't these so called NGO's who have got formed to serve to
the various issues do not actively participate in eliminating the
discrimination.
A physically challenged who is above 35 years of age is issued with a
life long concession card, compared to a visually impaired despite of
the nature of disability being permanent. A 40% physically challenged
person is given concession, but not a 40% blind person. Although
Government proclaims that for that all the facility to person with
disability can be availed by those who are at least 40% disable, then
why this discrimination? Why can't the 40 / 75 / 90 percent visually
impaired people be given concession at least in contrast to their
percentage of impairment just like the physically impaired? What is
their logic in doing this? Even the hospitals, what scientifically
proven model/software do these physician use to determine the
percentage of disability. Are these methods authorized by any
national/Internationally associated body like the food and drugs
administrator, or Indian medical, or American medical association etc
Recently after this incidence, I' had raised my grievance against the
railways on the CPGram portal, they had closed the ticket within two
days, asking me to submit the document manually. My argument to them
was so as why can't they re-direct the application through their
internal mechanism to the western DRM office, if these stations are
not yet upload in the system despite of being one region in itself. I
re-opened the same ticket to the second appeal, and I had received a
call today from the DRM office of central railways of Mumbai CST
station. They were trying to give me their justification, and I howled
at them for treating us like a rubbish. Yesterday I submitted the
documents manually to the Mumbai central DRM office concession cell,
and they told me the central hospitals allotted to the Pwds for UDID
cards do not attend the patients/candidates assigned to them, and
instead re-direct them to visit the western railway station authorized
hospital, and that is why our office is so crowded with the Pwds
concession application. I responded him then why your portal is not
updating the western railway stations, then these crowd would
automatically come down, and he was silent. They have asked me to call
their office after two months for collecting the online concession id
card. I request the NGO meant to work for our dignity to raise these
and similar such issues with the Government. I had raised a similar
complaint to CCPD against the railways discriminative policies against
the person with disabilities themselves, and the CCPD just forwarded
my complaint to ministry of social justice to look after the
complaint, as they stated that this is related to railways policy
matter. These are Government body, and how it can be their individual
policy matter?
Guys many of us might be working with good firms with handsome
monetary benefits, but there are still many of our unfortunate
brothers and sisters who are still struggling for their living. We
must raise our voice at least for them. Hope your comments on this
experience.

[AI] Pursuing partime degree in law from recognized university

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

as the subject line states, I am willing to initiate a new learning
for myself in law. I am currently on a full time job, and seeking for
a professional part time degree in law. I am holding a masters degree
in Marketing management from Mumbai university, and wish to know
whether Mumbai university or any other recognized institution offer a
valid part time degree in law? Also whether I am eligible to pursue
the same? Whether there is any age restriction to study law. Please
throw some guidance on this

Thanks in advance,

Re: [AI] w.r.t. Railway concession certificate and Divyangjan photo Id,

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,
no there are multiple website some without any logical trace to find
the relevant url. For eg.
https://divyangjanid.indianrail.gov.in/
the above url only caters to Mumbai. However the western local
railways stations are still not available.
https://railsaarthi.in/auth/login
this one labels as western zone, but only contains Ahmedabad, and
Baroda (not even entire Gujarat)
There are still many of them in small areas, bigger location like
Delhi as a whole etc.
Very complicated!

Re: [AI] w.r.t. Railway concession certificate and Divyangjan photo Id,

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

if your concession has expired, by no chance it can be renewed on
their portal. You have to follow the same protocol so as required for
a new concession certificate. You have to get their medical
certificate which is available online on
https://divyangjanid.indianrail.gov.in/
this needs to be verified by the assigned hospitals who are authorized
for issuing disability certificate. The doctor would examine your
vision, and then put seal and signature on the concession certificate.
Once this is done, then the same can be submitted on the above given
portal, or offline at the DRM office.

Re: [AI] Announcement!

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Just for query out of curiosity. Why do only NAB Delhi is working
proactively for the visually impaired. Although NAB is having its
presence in several states and cities, it seems only NAB Delhi takes
all initiative. Isn't there any centralized mechanism for NAB's
working all across?

Re: [AI] AI: facing problems with issuing cancelled cheque book facility

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,
in case if you have internet banking, cheque book can also be ordered
through it. If not, and if you have a debit card, you can register for
internet banking without visiting bank directly through banks online
portal. Once you've done that you can login and get it then.

Re: [AI] w.r.t. Railway concession certificate and Divyangjan photo Id,

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi Sampath,
the condition for life time validity of concession is applicable only
for orthopedically challenged person and not for blind and other
modality of disability. For all the other except the one mentioned,
the renewal has to be done after every five years. I had filed an RTI
against this discrimination with ministry of railways last year.
However they kept on justifying their stand with illogical arguments.
Finally I had raised it with the CIC appellant authority, but they
indirectly gestured me to challenge this in the court. Even I had
raised this with CCPD, they had forwarded my complaint to MSJE stating
that this is policy matter.

Re: [AI] Issues with UDID

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

Currently instead of making mandatory, we must insist the government
to first link all the benefits offered to PWD's with udid. Once this
is done, most of the pwd's would also then make their way to avail the
udid card. Secondly in respect to the issue of the difficulty in
getting udid card or adhaar card etc is concern, the government need
to facilitate this by empowering the organization who are working for
the development of pwd. Once this is taken care, udid would
automatically be a mandatory element.

visually impaired person. You can try to contact them, or one of my

Re: [AI] Retina pigmentosa treatment possibility

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

I spoke to the one which is Mumbai based shared me this link
https://youtu.be/vmSZtIBaxBI
The office assistant told me that for first consultation the charges
are Rs. 1500. They would also conduct a perimetry test if required for
which Rs 3500 would be additional. I have asked them to share me or to
connect me to few RP patients who have been successfully treated by
them, as claimed by them in this video. However the assistant told me
that might not be possible for them to share their personal details,
and recommended me to visit their clinic to talk to the practitioner.

Re: [AI] We should demand for the accessible exam

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

so now in continuation to the malpractice debated in earlier thread,
this is the main condition. The examination is not universally
designed for visually impaired aspirants. Also the quality of visually
impaired candidates are deficient due to poor quality of education
imparted in blind schools where students are not prepared since their
elementary age for future competitions with the sighted world. As all
these changes would be time consuming awaiting for positive outcome in
coming future. For now we need to force the government to install
screen-readers in examination center's computers. Those who feel
themselves confident could opt for independence in availing a scribe,
where others can stay at mercies of the society and examination
conducting bodies.

Re: [AI] suggestion regarding mutual funds.

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

There is no requirement for a demat account for opening a mutual fund.
You can visit any mutual fund house like SBI/HDFC/ICICI etc office for
doing the needful.

Re: [AI] Suggestions on completely accessible demat accounts and web and mobile application for trading

While using ICICI Direct web version, I could not find the search
field accessible. How to navigate the list of companies which is

How is the accessibility of upstock, groww, zerodha etc.

[AI] Suggestions on completely accessible demat accounts and web and mobile application for trading

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Please suggest, so as to which demat web or mobile application gives
seemless experience of investing and trading in stocks. Also share
whether investing in crypto currency is sensible, and also any
accessible application is available for this as well.

Thanks,

Re: [AI] Your guidance required for switching the profession

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Boss,

All the regional business offices, Zonal offices, corporate offices of
banks in one way or the other have jobs on phone calls most of the
time. It is the sighted guys also who have to follow-up with branches,
and cross functional offices on various parameter of their business on
phone calling only. If you are in any back office, take transfer to
any branch of the bank where there is possibility to have more
personal tie-up with smaller number of employee. Now a days all the
banks are focusing only on digital banking penetration, cross-selling,
and up-selling of banks different products and services. As you have a
good command on English reading, writing, and speaking skills, you can
create a good bonding with high profile customers gradually. You can
also develop your expertise on audit function and help your branch to
acquire good score in managing risks. If you can contribute in
generating revenue for the bank by working in any of the business
verticals just as that of the retail or corporate customer facing
branches, then there would be job satisfaction. Simultaneously your
interest in content writing can be enhanced further slowly and
steadily to search for new opportunities outside bank. An just as some
one on the list suggested, you can also try to join the social media
department of your bank where you can write user manuals, or record a
video on how to use, and avail banks different products and services.
When I' had joint the bank, I was not given a system, and no sitting
arrangement was made for me. I use to sit in the storage room after
the banking hours. During the public hours, I use to stand beside the
security guard personnel, and gradually started canvasing business on
mutual fund investments. I would also help customers on the digital
application front, and I did this for two long years. Now I am a Scale
3 officer, and have achieved this position in just 6 years after
joining the bank. Keep hope in yourself, and have patience, everything
would get all right.

Hi Rahul,

Is this document of the judgement by CCPD accessible version, or it
has been made so out of your efforts? As I could find broken

However I congratulate the teams joint efforts under your leadership.
Hope this get materialized, and also some penalties, or punishments
must be advised by the court ahead in the next hearing.

Re: [AI] From Charging Lakhs to Offering Proxy Candidates, Is Exam 'Scribe Service' Turning Into 'Business'?

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Firstly the examination must be made visually impaired friendly. We
are just been accommodated for examination which are meant for sighted
people. Just giving some extra time, exemption from tables and
graphical questions etc is not going to make any sense. And the
fundamental issues remains unanswered, so as to how the special
schools can trained visually impaired on logic, math which do not
include visual graph or on tactile based questions at the primary and
secondary schooling age. Some or many of us may be fortunate enough to
have inclusive education, or having a good family status along with
support system. What about the unfortunates, should they die because
of this? Until these persisting issues in relation to the education
system for visually impaired do not get resolved, I suggest that
organizations must frame interview based verbal discussion, such as
testing the candidates on various parameters such as psychometric,
reasoning, general affairs, basics of computing with screan readerrs,
English/Hindi  reading and writing skill, mathematical ability etc.
Despite of all the efforts put on by our community for reservation in
employment, the companies are still lagging in achieving full Vacancy.
This is some where a result of disguised discrimination in the public
sector organizations, and even in general the big private sector
employers are willing to recruit only those visually impaired who have
spent a lots of money on education / higher education. So who bothers
about the unfortunates and economically backward blind candidates?

Re: [AI] Blind cane

[Pinkesh Tailor]

I have used this cane from sparsh products. I am not satisfied by it.
Although it uses a double strip elastic thread, but it is very thin.
Also one side of the elastic thread got broken at two different points
due to which it got unusable.

Re: [AI] Minutes - Weekly meeting on July 16, 2022

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

are these efforts backed by some constitutional or legal framework? I
mean, is there some kind of fine or punishment for not meeting the
accessibility guideline? Otherwise we would just be going round the
bush without any concrete results. Chasing each and every website or
mobile app owner and companies would prove to be a night mare. Instead
some law in the RPWD act would empower us to challenge for
accessibility mandates.

Thanks,

Re: [AI] Public Notice Inviting Comments on the draft National Policy for Persons with Disabilities

[Pinkesh Tailor]

I advocate to Minar Singh suggestion for reservation in private
sectors, as the government is now keen to privatize all the public
sector in a gradual phase, demanding this as a mandate would empower
the disable community.

On the accessibility side, there must be a law just as in the US that
is article 508, and in other countries, mandating the accessibility of
all web and mobile/electronic device application. On failure to comply
there must be heavy penalty, and other legal punishment according to
the law. In this case even all internal application at the place of
employment whether public or private need to be covered.

At the education front accessibility must be one of the semesters
paper to be covered by board examination in all modality of
engineering that is physical as well as virtual. This is the best mode
of sensitization.

This new policy must also possess a room for regular updates, and not
be fixed for few years and so.

Prashant, please compile them for further discussion with National
institute of empowerment of person with visual disability, as
according to the draft I could only find this institute to be
recognized by GOI.

Re: [AI]

[Pinkesh Tailor]

The only best way is to pursue the Government of India to extend
compulsory reservation in private sector. It can also be under
corporate social responsibility. Secondly the quality of education
also needs to improve in India for visually impaired children so that
they can be in par with their sighted contemporary. Otherwise there
would be lesser qualitative candidate for recruitment. Just as we are
seeing that ineligibles candidates are getting employment in public
and government sector on the name of reservation. The private sector
would not tolerate this at all.

 Hello Aniruddha and Sonu,
 though private sector doesn't have to follow PWD reservation under RPD
 act, they have certain other legal obligations so they can't refuse
 employment to Visually Impaired candidates and other PWD candidates.
 Some time back there was a job alert  where Odisha had reserved 1 %
 seats for visually impaired person in unaided institutes for teachers
 if Odisha can follow this norm then why not other institutes?. I think
 some advocacy needed. All establishments have been brought under the
 RPWD  act. They have to recruit certain portion of PWD workforce. We
 can challenge this in a court. Experts from legal background can
 comment on this.

[AI] Making digital accessibility mandatory

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Dear all,

how many more decades we are going to struggle for making information
accessibility happen. Why don't we approach the government/ministry
come up with a concrete article under the RPWD act 2016 to make at
least web and documents accessibility mandatory for now? Just like
article 508 of united states and other such sections of different
nations which makes accessibility mandatory. Instead of fighting with
individual organization and firms, let us approach the ministry of
social justice, the ministry of information technology, ministry of
broadcasting and communication to get in sink on common agenda, and
make it punishable along with monetary fine. Until this do not
materialize, we would keep on cluttering access India portal with
complaints of inaccessibility.

[AI] I Want to file a petition, guidance required

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hello friends,
I am a banker and want to file a petition with CCPD or court if
needed. One of the third party institute which provides relevant
certification need by my bank for increment in basic salary frames
questions for their online examination having around 10 or more
pictorial based questions which needs vision. On approaching them
through mail, they are not responding positively on my suggestions
offered to them to replace such picture based question with
alternative text based questions. They replied stating that such
questions cannot be eliminated to maintain their standard of quality.
I also suggested them for averaging of marks on attempted question,
adding more numbers of question, as the exam is of 100 marks and 100
questions of one marks each, but they are not willing to co-operate in
any manner. Even they demand intimation for use of scribe to be mailed
to them along with scribes identity documents one month in advance.
So I want to file a petition against them for practice of
discrimination in their conduct of examination. Experts on the list
please guide how could I do so

Thanks,

How about including accessibility as a subject in any one of the

[AI] Is it common with all visually challenged people?

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Otherwise I am pretty confidence about my abilities with due respect
to physical limitation, but when it comes to traveling outside my home
town, I feel anxious.
Although I have traveled alone without any escort many a times, but it
happens with anxiety. I guess I am a bit unsecured about reaching my
destination. The thoughts which ponders my mind is whether I will be
safe? Whether I would get the help from others when warranted? Whether
people would feel OK to help me? and many more such question.
I guess as a visually impaired person, I have a lot of expectation
from mass of able body, that is the sighted people for offering their
help to me without me asking for the same. So for example when I am
standing on for crossing the road and when no one comes ahead to
extend their help, I feel the world is so insensitive. Wherein
eventually I request for people to help me in crossing the road,
people are more than happy to help. My expectation from people is that
they need to be courteous from their side to offer help without asking
or requesting for the same. Also when people are at my help, I feel
that I am bothering them and they might be feeling burdensome. This is
when I might need help of people around me during more longer
navigation, and help needed for serving me lunch or dinner. Is this
mindreading from my side, or do people around us really feel
burdensome to help us? or whether our sighted counter part see us
indifferently as we are different from them physically due to our
visual challenge. Sometimes I also feel that other sighted people such
as our colleagues are jealous of me as I am in par much better then
them in several aspect. and that is why they are feeling indifferent
about me.
Most of the anxiety happens for long distance traveling and stay which
gets stretched for more than a day or so. Although everything gets
managed well and workout to be positive against my anxiety, but still
I feel the same every time for the travel and stay. Is this common to
all while traveling alone without escort? or Is it peculiar only for
me, I do not know. Could anyone share their experience when they have
traveled alone without any sighted assistance? Note, I might not have
this anxiety if any blind known person is also traveling with me as my
companion, but I also feel anxious if I am traveling with known
sighted person other than my family member, as I think that sighted
known person might be feeling burdensome to accompany me for this
journey.

[AI] Fwd: Blind man could see again

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Some of my well wisher have shared the youtube link which is
portraying a blind man who could not see due to some retinal disease.
The video is about some Canadian company who has invented some glasses
with camera that enable this blind person to see his family members
and parents and his surroundings. The glasses is around$15,000. I want
to know from accessIndian whether they are aware about this and
whether this is a real thing. Although the video is not showing
anything on how this glasses is working technically, that is how it
gets connected to the brain or neurocells which carries electrical
signals and converts those signals into images. Please throw some
light on it.

without getting remunerated is challenging. I was thinking if you can
air your channel through more creativity, it can get hits and can be
lucrative in coming time. Apologies this is off the topic you are
seeking information for.

Re: [AI] Complaint against denial of Internet ticketing facility to blind persons

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,
also take up with IRCTC the discrimination which it has between
physically challenged and visually impaired. IRCTC give railway
concession to 40% physically challenged, but not to blind people. What
is the rationale. While taking concession with local public bus
transport the officer stated that more then 70% of population suffer
with some kind of eye disorder that does not mean we will issue
concession to all of them. On clarifying him that the certificate is
only issued to those where correction in vision through any mean is
not possible. He could not counter-reason this argument and denied to
issue concession pass to one of my friend who was 40% certified
visually impaired.
Another point is that physically impaired above 35 years of age need
not renew the online concession railway certificate if nature of
disability was perminant, where as on the other hand visually impaired
people above 35 years of age with nature of disability to be perminant
as per the disability certificate still needs to renew railway online
concession certificate after 5 years.
Another thing they were issuing concession only according to the
existing expiring date of such concession certificates issued by NGO's
such as NAB etc.
Also I was keen to understand the scientific methodology through which
percentage of disability is decided for disability certificates. Do
these government authorized hospitals have any formulae to determine
the percentage of physical or visual disability, or it is just on
their mercy and observation that such percentage are derived.

Hi, the accessibility of IIBF is not so attractive. Jaws looses focus

[AI] Online disability and concession certificate

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi all,
Yesterday we 5 visually impaired friends went to JJ hospital Mumbai to
get one signature and two stamps on concession certificate for which
we had to wait for more then five hours running throughout the campus.
We had to take leave from our office three days over the period of 2
months. One was for the checkup, other was to collect the certificate
and the one yesterday was to get sign on the concession certificate.
This concession certificate is to be collected from divisional railway
office which was in turn to be acknowledged and stamped at JJ
hospital. I wanted to know the process at other authorized government
hospitals throughout India. Did all the other friends on the list have
to go through similar processes or it was more convenient?
Was the online disability certificate issued on the same day? Another
thing which is mentioned on the concession certificate is that for
completely blind, mentally retarted, and for hearing and speech
impaired with perminant disability, the concession certificate would
be valid for five years from the date of issue, where as for
Orthopedically challenged if their age is above 35 years and nature of
disability is perminant than the concession is valid for life long.
When I asked about this discrimination to the divisional railway
manager, he told me to ask this to Mr. Narendra Modi. I also want to
know the rationale behind issuing a concession to other physically
challenged with disability less than 100%, as any kind of concession
is not given to blind less than 100%. Orthopedically challenged person
are issued concession even at 40% where as mentally retarted and
persons with paralysis are issued concession certificate only if they
are going to be with escorts. Why this discrimination is in practice?
Can we do something on this? Please throw some light on this.

Re: [AI] FW: BREAKING NEWS!

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi Kanchan,
I was understanding that as per the RPWD bill, if there is any
discrimination against PWD then it would be covered as a criminal
offence for which there would be a minimum and a maximum imprisonment
of 6 months to 2 year. Also a minimum and maximum fine of 10,000 to 5
lakhs. So a scenario of a PWD denied a seat in public transport such
as railways or bus where few seats or coach is reserved for PWD's,
would this be covered under a criminal offence?

Re: [AI] My Op-ed in the HT: Universities do little to enable the disabled

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi Avinash,
welcome back to the list...
Why can't we unitedly appeal the ministry of education to make
accessibility as one of the paper in every domain of engineering. This
will make the accessible India campaign a reality. This will also ease
the process of awareness. As young students would come out of
university's, they would be more sensatized towards the need of people
with disabilities. I think this can also be one of the area where your
contribution as a research student would help.

Re: [AI] some banking fecility denied in SBI for blind what to do?

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,
legally a blind cannot be denied of any banking services. For CDM, any
way ATM card is not required for depositing cash. And as far as
transfer of money is concerned, SBI's internet banking is pretty
accessible. Ask your friend to take internet banking, they should not
decline that request. Even their mobile application "SBI freedom" is
pretty accessible. Through mobile banking your friend can transfer
money easily.

Re: [AI] Computer training for job holder candidate

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hello NAB helpline:
There are visually impaired persons working for government firms and
PSU's in other part of India also and I believe that NAB is Pan India.
So why only NAB Delhi is so proactive in empowering visually
challenged. Why do NAB do not have any centralized mechanism to carry
their projects uniformly in every part of their presence and why only
Delhi always?

Re: [AI] term insurance for a visually impaired

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi, visually challenged cannot be denied to insurance policy. However
specifically talking about LIC, they have a very discriminative
policies towards visually impaired clients. Firstly they will offer
very limited policies and secondly they would charge high premium.
However most of the private players do not discriminate in term of
policy or premium except accidental riders. Accidental riders mean the
insured nominee will be paid doubled the sum assured in case if the
death is due to accident. But still in the absence of accidental rider
if the insured die due to an accident, the actual sum assured will
still be paid to the visually impaired insured nominee.

 Hello Mr. Akash and others,
 There is a discrimination for the visually impaired in insurance.
 As per the LIC guidelines There is no accidental coverage for the
 visually impaired and they should pay extra premium.
 I heard that some of the other insurance companies offering
 insurance
 policies to visually impaired customers with out extra premium.
 With regards,

Re: [AI] Require Circular regarding transfer policy of Visually challenged

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi,

you are working for which bank... ?
However there is a open and general guide line by the department of
personell training issued by ministry of social affairs which
recommends banks from avoiding such transfers for visually challenged.
On the basis of this notification, each banks draft their own
circular. You can download the DOPT one below

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/87900823/DOPT%20OFFICE%20MEMORANDUM%20REGARDING%20GUIDELINE%20%20PROVIDING%20FACILITIES%20%20TO%20PWD%20EMPLOYEES%20DATED%2031TH%20MARCH%202014.pdf

and you can download the scribe application form directly from the
IIBF website on

www.iibf.org.in

Thanks,

What I think is that, other then posting our good and bad experience

Re: [AI] Blind can record answers

[Pinkesh Tailor]

What about reading of the question paper. Is going to be prerecorded
in a tape, or will it be read by a human assistance. If human
assistance is needed, then what is the sense of recording the answer
in a tape. If prerecorded, then as commented earlier lot of rewinding
and forwarding to listen to the questions.

 the Sighted write so we should type!
 that way teachers can deduct marks for spelling mistakes and so on in

 for this, students should be introduced to assistive technology early
 on, which may take time, but not impossible.
 liberal evaluation/ grace marks as mentioned in the article is given
 to all special Students.
 which would make the blind incompetent  if practiced.
 I agree that these initiatives maybe desirable for learning and
 complex disabilities!
 many of the policies that come up are not  well thought off in advance.
 I feel the government should consult the disabled first, as these
 policies are used by us and not those who make the policy.

Re: [AI] Jaws or NVDA? Please guide

[Pinkesh Tailor]

NVDA is becoming more and more powerful with passing time, but still
it needs a compateble edge against Jaws when it come to professional
environment. It depends whether you want to use them at your office /
work or at your home. If at home, then go for NVDA, but still never
the less if you want to use NVDA at your office, you can try it and
see whether it serves your purpose.

Re: [AI] atm card in sbi

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Any kind of undertaking is essentially not required, but who will
waste time fighting against ignorant people. However giving an
undertaking that the bank would not liable for misuse of ATM or
cheques provided to a blind person, is not something which is not
suppose to hurt our dignity. So my recommendation is to give the
undertaking and get your work done.

Thanks,

Re: [AI] Regarding PMSBY and PMJJBY.

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi, all the banks are offering this project, as this is under Prime
Minister and not of any individual bank. Even the co-operative banks
have to promote these scheme. Both of the schemes offer insurance. One
is a life insurance which also covers natural death and the other is
an accidental insurance which covers any kind of accidental death. The
sum insured in both the plans is for 2 lakhs. If you have a joint
account, the second account holder can be the nominy, but it cannot be
towards eachother for the same account.

Re: [AI] quary regarding linked in

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi, did linked in also started with chat functionality? Invitations
can be send to people only if you know their email id or if they are
in your contact list. Secondly, why do you need to listen to voice
input while accepting invitation? If you are a paid member of linked
in, then you can send invitations to any one on linked in, however you
can receive invitation from paid as well as non-paid members if your
email id is there in their contact list.

Re: [AI] Mumbai: State to appoint administrator for 'mismanaged' blind school in Jogeshwari

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi, unfortunately we are not knowing the exact issues which is going
on at MNB. According to some of our friends who are staying there are
saying that the trustees want to sell the entire building and want the
visually challenged friends to leave the premise. This is an
unresolved issue.

Re: [AI] tikona wireless broadband review needed

[Pinkesh Tailor]

Hi, I am using Tikona broad band from 1.5 years. Last years I was
facing many issues in their consistency. After warning them to
withdraw connection, they have given me consistent connectivity from
past then 3 months. Other then this issue, they speed and service is
good. The only thing was I had to give them warning 3 times in past
1.5 years, but they have tried their level best to retain me by even
giving me 30% discount in my bill from november to feb. So over all
with ups and downs, currently I am happy with their services.
