I only knew Satguru through interactions on Access India. Sad news indeed. May 
his soul rest in peace and God give his family strength to heal from this

[AI] AXSChat on Breaking Barriers: Media and Disability Advocacy

[shruti pushkarna]

Hi all,

I am absolutely delighted to have been a part of the iconic AXSChat. Listen in 
as I speak with Debra Ruh, Neil Milliken and Antonio Vieira Santos on Breaking 
Barriers: Media and Disability Advocacy. I share my journey from a mainstream 
media producer to working directly with individuals with vision impairment and 
other disabilities.

Here’s the link to the video interview, https://vimeo.com/958402031

Also a link to audio podcast, 
https://axschat.buzzsprout.com/719037/15216495-breaking-barriers-media-and-disability-advocacy

There is also a Twitter Chat following the interview. You can contribute to it 
by searching for #AXSChat.

Do share your comments.

Best,
Shruti Pushkarna

[AI] My last two articles

[shruti pushkarna]

Hi all,

Sharing my last two columns here. One is about 21 Purple Fest Ambassadors and 
the pertinent issues raised by them. And the second is about the movie Animal 
and representation of marginalised communities. 

What do films like ‘Animal’ tell us about the societal mindset towards 
inclusion?

<https://www.mxmindia.com/columns/what-do-films-like-animal-tell-us-about-the-societal-mindset-towards-inclusion/>
Does the media representation of disability encourage people to laugh at and 
trivialise persons with disability?

[AI] To the moon: But is equal access to education a distant dream?

[shruti pushkarna]

Hi all,

Sharing my latest article. 

Yesterday, August 23, 2023, India made history. The success of the Chandrayaan 
3 mission is bound to ignite a spark, encouraging students to pursue careers in 
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics or popularly known as STEM.

But as our country displays its scientific prowess to rest of the world, 
students with disabilities struggle to pursue STEM careers.

[AI] Is Digital India truly inclusive?

[shruti pushkarna]

Hi all.

Here's a link to my latest article that emphasizes the need to make digital
services truly inclusive.  We were promised a truly inclusive world with
digital access for all, but what does the ground reality convey?

Re: [AI] Amrit Udyan: A common name ensures no access to the common (wo)man

[shruti pushkarna]

Hi Avichal,

Thanks for sharing your point of view and experience, I appreciate it.
Accessibility shouldn't be compromised based on week days or weekends and
not everyone is lucky to have a volunteer around. The idea is to make the
system robust and accessible for each and everyone, disabled or not.  My
article is based on my opinion which is based on my personal experience.
It's okay to have differing opinions after all, in a democracy.

Hi all,

Here's my latest article from the series on Media and Disability. I have
written about the influence of inclusive content in sensitizing people
towards disability and related issues. Also shared recommendations of five
shows that are available on OTT platforms to watch.

[AI] Will the Twitter Takeover lead to Muzzling of the Disabled?

[shruti pushkarna]

Hi all,

Twitter has been a lot in the news since Elon Musk took over the company.
If you don't already know, Musk fired the entire Twitter Accessibility
Experience Team. In my latest column I write about how this decision could
impact the PwD experience on the platform. Please share and comment.

Yes, that's one way to go about it but I wonder how many authorities are
looking at their Twitter handle for such complaints. Nonetheless, it's
important to voice it.

Re: [AI] Lawsuits Over Digital Accessibility for People With Disabilities Are Rising

[shruti pushkarna]

I think our tolerance to malpractices and lack of implementation of
policies is not limited to the domain of disability. We should really unite
and launch advocacy efforts on a mass scale for the society to take notice
of the disability population.

[AI] My column: Half a decade of lessons in accepting diversity

[shruti pushkarna]

Here's the link to the piece-

Re: [AI] Disability Inclusion: How far are we from a Sugamya and Saksham Bharat?

[shruti pushkarna]

Thank you, Kota Prabhu.

Yes Vivek, that's a fair point, why can't they have a door to door service
for UDID as well. But everything gets lost between the Centre and State
blaming each other for inadequacies. There is an urgent need to treat
disability as a cross-cutting issue and not simply see PwDs as a minority.

Re: [AI] Disability Inclusion: How far are we from a Sugamya and Saksham Bharat?

[shruti pushkarna]

Thank you Mahendra and Mangal. Yes, I'm aware of the gravity of this issue
and how many people are impacted by it. This piece was a small step to
highlight the problem, but consistent advocacy needs to be done for those
in power to take notice and intervene in the implementation process.
Policies and decisions are taken in air conditioned rooms by officials who
are disconnected from the ground level challenges of rollout and the
benefits reaching the last mile user.

Re: [AI] Daily Eyeway Alerts

[shruti pushkarna]

Hi Satguru,

You are right but Eyeway doesn't meddle with the news source and sends it
out as is. Hindustan Times misquoted Preeti's last name, I noticed it the
minute I read the news.

Re: [AI] Query regarding toll tax exumption for visually challenged persons

[shruti pushkarna]

As per the news articles, it is applicable for all disabled vehicle owners.
But we need to clarify it in the authorised circular, a copy of which I
haven't yet been able to locate.

Hi,

I haven't been able to find an official document/circular. But the
following link clearly states that all vehicles registered under the names
of disabled people will be allowed for a free ride across the NH network.

[AI] Eyeway- Looking for volunteers!

[Shruti Pushkarna]

Dear all,

Eyeway a national helpline for blind people, is looking for volunteers to
attend calls from persons with disabilities across India and help them with
their immediate challenges during the lockdown due to coronavirus.

Eyeway has been receiving calls from people asking for essential services,
helpline numbers, local bodies to connect for help, medical services near
them etc. To serve a larger section of disabled population, we need more
hands.

Volunteers can function from their locations, must have access to a phone
and a laptop..

If willing, please contact us on 9819034040 or 9818777201. Or you can send
us an email on geo...@eyeway.org or shruti.pushka...@eyeway.org
