 As you rightly suggested, the core objectives of the Act will be
 analysed. So Education, accessibility and employment. And yes
 evaluation of one particular sector by one author  will also suffice.
 Such as Blind in the banking sectore, challenges in academia and life
 as a civil servant. Articles perusing several states disability policy
 are also solicited. Its grate if you contribute on banking sector.
 Thank you.

 Dear Avinash,

 Can you give an indicative list of topics on which we can write?  I
 think everyone writing on the entire PWD act might not be easy.  We
 can divide into sections like education, employment etc.  Is this in
 lines with your concept?

 Also, should it be specific to states?  I may be interested in writing
 about employment in banking which is not a state specific subject.
 Would you accommodate topics like this?

 Dear All

 I’ve conceptualized an ambitious but workable plan to interrogate the
 two decades of the PWD Act 1995. It envisages a focused approach to
 evaluate the working of the Act for the blind in all 29 states in the
 country. It further envisions grassroot commentary and critical
 scrutiny produced by the writers residing in the respective states.
 Initially, all articles will appear as blogs later they will be
 reproduced in the form of booklet. The series will commence from 24
 November 2015 and would continue till 22 December 2015 historic day
 when the Act was passed in 1995). I am in touch with web-developers
 who can design our blog-website. Interested, commited and enthusiastic
 people could write if they want to investigate and contribute to this
 project which could also be leveraged for better evidence-based
 policy/lobbying/exicution with the respective state governments later.
 All submissions will undergo editorial scrutiny and suitable editing
 will be done. Editorial team will consist of blind
 researchers/activists/NGO-specialists. Note: this project is
 restricted to understanding blind people’s lives  cause disability is
 a broad terminology and one can not do justice to the aim of the
 project. The whole exercise is voluntary and working language will be
 English. however-those who want to contribute in Hindi-and other
 regional languages, their works will be translated. those interested
 could e-mail to shahi88avin...@gmail.com or call on 9717230779.

2015-07-20 Thread avinash shahi
Ajay, What I conceive is to have the impact analyses of the PWD Act on
blind people in different states. When we uniformly use disabled
category it excludes many and over-represents others. We have to
accept the reality that blind, mentally-ill and the hearing impaired
people are the most marginalized among the categories recognized under
the Act. Therefore if we use popular usage disabled denoting all
categories it would not provide us real picture. Danish, excellent I
want you to write from Punjab. State-policy adopted by the states
could be analysed. And NGO representatives could also share their
experience of working in the rural and semi-urban districts. We have
found one volunteer from Tamil Nadu. I wish we will have volunteers
willing to collaborate from other states as well. I will soon contact
people working in north-eastern states to bring them on board. It will
be worth-doing exercise please pitch in. our community will be highly
benefited. We have ample months we could extract info by filing RTIS
if recquired.
