News- Bengal gets its 1st Braille Constitution

Kolkata: In a first in Bengal, the West Bengal
 National University
of Juridical Sciences (WBNUJS) published a Braille version of
the Constitution of India, said Vice-Chancellor, Nirmal Kanti Chakrabarti.
The Braille Constitution will empower the  visually-impaired
students,”Chakrabarti added.
PhD scholar at WBNUJS, Arnab Roy, who is part of the initiative, said they
would also convert other reading materials to benefit such students.
Roy is also the director (operations) of IDIA charitable trust, which
helped WBNUJS in this initiative.
It took over two years to complete 16 volumes of the Braille. The VC
thanked Ramakrishna Mission Blind Boys School Academy, Narendrapur for
helping them in the initiative. The two alumni of WBNUJS, Biswajit Shil and
Saik Jiyarul Hoque, said they would be able to refer to the Constitution
frequently. Earlier, we studied the Constitution in the digital mode,” they
said.

Many thanks George Sir for your encouraging words. I will surely strive for 
achieving new summits in the future.

Besides, I  am very hopeful that it would help in inspiring  and transmiting a 
good positive vibe amongst the people of the society at large. It would 
motivate others to turn into the storm of life, face barriers head on, embrace 
a pioneering and innovative spirit and to live life to the fullest, rich in

News Sparsh Bharati’ - a new guide for visually impaired persons

Sparsh Bharati is an offshoot of Bharati script developed by IIT Madras
professor.

After introducing the Bharati script V. Srinivasa Chakravarthy, a professor
of biotechnology in the Indian Institute of Technology Madras has developed
a script for persons with visual impairment.

The script has been tested on students and teachers in schools in New Delhi
and they have given feedback as well. In videos of the experiment shared
with *The Hindu *of the visually impaired persons learning the new script,
all participants were excited as it was easy to learn.

Prof. Chakravarthy has named the script Sparsh Bharati. This ‘Indian
Braille’ can be used across Indian languages, he said.

Bharati uses phonetics, the common basis for all Indic languages, he
explained. “We adapted the script to a lot of Indian languages including
Bodo, of the Northeast. We want to adapt it to tribal languages without a
script of their own. Tribals resist learning Indian languages fearing that
their language would lose identity,” the professor said.

Bharati could be used as a tool to get to literacy and for those who wish
to learn a new language. It could be used to encode dying languages of
Andaman and Nicobar natives, he opined. Sparsh Bharati, on the other hand,
is an offshoot of Bharati. Unlike the conventional Braille which students
take two years to master Sparsh Bharati can be learnt within hours of being
exposed to it, Mr. Chakravarthy said.

“The idea was Bharati script is so simple why not print it in an embossed
form and people can feel it and write it,” he said. He roped into his
experiment Deepak Kumar Gupta, an assistant professor at Delhi University,
who has a visual impairment. He is currently doing a PhD at IIT Delhi.

 “He made several suggestions. Bharati characters come in three levels and
all Indian languages have the same phonetic structure. In the original
Braille, every word fits into six dots; we developed Sparsh Bharati using a
combination of lines and dots,” Mr. Chakravarthy said.

The similarity in the phonetic structure among Indian languages meant that
it could be referred to constantly. Sparsh Bharati is a multi-sensory model
of language learning where sight and touch both can reinforce each other in
learning alphabet, unlike the conventional printed and Braille systems that
are exclusively visual and tactile, the researcher explained.

Unlike the six dots in Braille a square with six horizontal and six
vertical lines and four dots to indicate phonetics were developed. “This
way we can have 65,000 combinations (for words) whereas Braille offers only
64. Once you know Bharati script which is visual the Sparsh Bharati is
intuitive and visual,” Mr. Chakravarthy said.

During the pandemic, the researcher developed a sign language for the deaf
with support from TCS. “We made a system to convey the characters using
gestures or mudra. We used the idea of invisible blackboard, the left hand
and finger movements to denote a consonant and the right hand to indicate
vowels,” the professor explained.

With the project completed Mr. Chakravarthy is looking for people to take
the language to the students.

His team comprising four students, three of them women, are exploring a
variety of printing media for Sparsh Bharati. They found 3D printed plastic
boards most effective. “However, we are exploring more affordable options
for printing on a large scale,” he said.

Two undergraduate students are working on designing a special printer for
Sparsh Bharati as it requires a device to develop edge-like dents on paper.
The conventional Braille printers cannot do them.

For the blind students to whom the script was given it was a revelation.
One said, “I am reading it for the first time, so I find it a little
difficult. I had the same problem while learning Braille. With this even
normal people will be able to understand what is written,” he said in a
recorded video of the experiment. Some of the suggestions from the students
are that the script should be smaller so that the printed books would be
less bulky.

The education sector is becoming inclusive where sighted and blind kids are
together in a class. The sighted could teach the blind students and can
understand the need better,” said a teacher who participated in the
exercise.

[AI] news of interest: In a first for Tamil Nadu parties, visually-challenged man is CPI(M) district secretary

2022-01-11 Thread Tony Kurian
In a first for Tamil Nadu parties, visually-challenged man is CPI(M)
district secretary
 by B. Kolappan
An advocate by qualification, B.S. Bharathi Anna entered the party
through its student wing, the Students’ Federation of India.
B.S. Bharathi Anna, a visually-challenged CPI(M) member, has been
elected secretary of the party’s Chengalpattu district unit. This is
the first time a visually-challenged person has become a district
secretary of a party in Tamil Nadu.
An advocate by qualification, Mr. Anna entered the party through its
student wing, the Students’ Federation of India. After completing his
graduation in law from Dr. Ambedkar Government Law College, Chennai,
he started practising in Chengalpattu. “I had vision till the age of
three. Then, what was diagnosed as short-sightedness progressed into
total blindness in 2014,” he said. He was deputy secretary of Tamil
Nadu Untouchability Eradication Front. “The total loss of eyesight
prevented me from working in the field, and I resigned. I also endured
depression. But modern technology came in handy, and I started working
in the unit for the physically-challenged,” he said.
He is also the vice-president of the Tamil Nadu Association For The
Rights of All Types of Differently Abled and Caregivers.

Hi AccessIndians,

Dear Friends of Supersense,
We hope you had a marvelous September. This month we have lots of good
news to share with you.

Our blog is growing, and on the side of product development, we
released some new features to increase accuracy and guidance. But sit
tight; we are working on some more delicious things for the next
month. And, read on for the newsworthy stuff happening at Supersense.
Blindness and Job Hunting, Echolocation, and the Rap Artist Question
This month Shane wrote about

how to train yourself to locate an object with echolocation, when to
mention your blindness during job hunting, and he deconstructed the US
address system for better navigation in an unfamiliar city. We also
added a comment section on our blog. We can't wait to read what you
have to say!

Recently, we started a new interview series in which we feature
hard-working and brilliant people from the blind community. Our first
guest was the young and talented rap artist Question from Atlanta. You
can listen to his interview on
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ3CjPzZ70M&t=2073s

and if you prefer to read it instead, you can go to our blog and read it here.

Dears,
Namasthee all. Shri Avinash shahi is certainly not of topic and this news
link  is beneficial to  all AI members, who are GOI employees.
But the fault is the tone and tenor of this particular news report.
The Hindu as a news paper  is prone to providing  news slanted against  BJP
Government, whether at the Center or in any state where the party is in
power. This news paper  is habituated to providing  white washed news of
state governments ruled by Opposition parties and to providing flattering
news in case of Left ruled state  in particular.
Under the present circumstance, I deem  it the patriotic duty of every
government employee  to sacrifice  a day's salary every month  during
2020-21 for the sake of the country. It is cheap on the part of a socalled
'National newspaper"  to  publish such a piece.
I commend Mr Hhahi  for posting news of interest on a regular basis.

Greetings Pranayarani:

Your gripe is with The Hindu, the Government of India and perhaps with Mr.
Modi too. It is  not with Mr. Avinash Shahi.

Please note that Mr. Shahi did not editorialize the Hindu article. He 
merely

provided a link. Sharing a link to a news article does not imply
endorsement.

Hence, according to your  post below, your issue is not with the off topic
nature of the post but with the content of the Hindu news item.

Avinash was merely the bearer of bad tidings as far as you are concerned. 
So

demolish the message, not the medium or the messenger!

Please consider sharing your perspective with the Hindu's op ed page much
like what Mr. Rahul Bajaj from this list has done so brilliantly in the
past. Please go to the Access India archives to read two of his expertly
written Hindu op eds.

Greetings Pranayarani:

Your gripe is with The Hindu, the Government of India and perhaps with Mr. 
Modi too. It is  not with Mr. Avinash Shahi.

Please note that Mr. Shahi did not editorialize the Hindu article. He merely 
provided a link. Sharing a link to a news article does not imply 
endorsement.

Hence, according to your  post below, your issue is not with the off topic 
nature of the post but with the content of the Hindu news item.

Avinash was merely the bearer of bad tidings as far as you are concerned. So 
demolish the message, not the medium or the messenger!

Please consider sharing your perspective with the Hindu's op ed page much 
like what Mr. Rahul Bajaj from this list has done so brilliantly in the 
past. Please go to the Access India archives to read two of his expertly 
written Hindu op eds.

I fully agree with what Rajesh sir said. In the subject line it is clearly
written news of interest. Aren't the differently abled in government
sector? If yes then won't it affect them directly? We should not create 
the

binary of black and white in these things.

For Heaven's sake please do not serve as a deterrence and a hyperactive barrier 
to Mr. Avinash Shahi's selfless and honest efforts to bring relevant 
information to this platform. Talking about off topic postings is analogous to 
opening a proverbial can of worms. If we get technical about this and begin to 
cite chapter and verse about the number of off topic postings on Access India, 
even the sky is not the limit. That said, these off topic postings provide us a 
wealth of relevant information which may traditionally remain inaccessible to 
us for one reason or another.
  
Some areas are white, others are black and then there are grey areas as well. 
Ours is an inclusive group and therefore if someone wishes to share with our 
fraternity information about news related to disability, its accessibility and 
technical status not withstanding, it is no way a cardinal sin. I hope you will 
accept my recommendation in the true spirit in which it has been rendered. 

This is the perfect opportunity for me to thank Mr. Shahi for his insightful 
postings and references over the past so many years that has kept professionals 
like us informed about news items which we may not have noticed otherwise. Mr. 
Shahi's subject lines are clear and concise. If you have no interest in the 
topic about which he is volunteering to inform us, a hop and a skip is a click

News alert-COVID-19: Helpline for blind and visually impaired. Khabri, 
India’s first digital audio content platform in the regional language, has 
rolled out an exclusive COVID-19 helpline portal/platform to attend the 
blind and visually-impaired masses across India during these testing times.
As a part of the initiative, Khabri will provide aid to this segment with 
expert inputs from domains including medical, psychological, social or 
financial. Through this initiative, the company also aims to raise 
awareness and strives to sensitise others around the same. Those in need 
can directly contact the team of Khabri on 9810511211 toll-free number, 
mobile, WhatsApp or reach them through the Khabri official App.
Emphasising the need to raise awareness in the current situation, Sandeep 
Singh, president and co-founder, Khabri, said, “While privileged masses can 
ensure compliance to social distancing, a large group of blind and 
visually-impaired is facing a plethora of challenges – be it social, 
medical or psychological. During these unprecedented times, they need the 
utmost care as their entire life revolves around touching and sensing. With 
our helpline portal, we endeavour to reach this cohort and address their 
problems. Besides this, we are also planning to hold live sessions with 
experts for direct interaction and make sure that the community of blind 
and visually-impaired is not left behind.”
Commenting on the same, Honorary Secretary In-Charge, S K Singh, NAB said, 
“The helpline portal comes as a huge relief to the community of blind 
people across the country and further gives them hope to stand stronger in 
this scenario. Blinds have a different set of problems in addition to 
normal people which will now be noticed and addressed with Khabri’s help. 
We would like to thank Khabri and its entire team to turn this brilliant 
idea into a possible reality.”
Khabri is also set to launch a dedicated content channel, live counselling 
session and a celebrity-led talk show to further its commitment towards 
empowering the blind community across India. Source:

Dear DDPO

*Coronavirus Bill - please write to your MP now *


We need you to take an urgent action and write to your MP to raise concerns
over the proposed Coronavirus Bill. This bill will be debated in Parliament
on *Monday 23 March 2020*

The bill as it stands poses a serious risk to the lives of many Disabled
people, especially those of us who need social care support.

The bill will effectively free local authorities of their duties to provide
social care support under the Care Act 2014 and will only oblige local
authorities to provide support in cases where the human rights of Disabled
people will be breached.

We know from experience that in order for human rights to be breached in
social care context the situation has to be very critical or severe.

Please act now and write/email to your MP before this *Monday 23 March *–

[AI] News of interest from UK: Coronavirus: ‘Disabled people must not be seen as inevitable cannon fodder’

2020-03-13 Thread avinash shahi
Disabled people are beginning to raise grave concerns about the
potential impact of coronavirus on people with long-term health
conditions and high support needs, particularly those who employ their
own personal assistants.
https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/coronavirus-disabled-people-must-not-be-seen-as-inevitable-cannon-fodder/
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) published its action
plan on dealing with COVID-19 this week, but the document said little
about social care.

Health and social care secretary Matt Hancock said: “Protecting the
most vulnerable is our absolute priority.”

He added: “We all have a role to play in combatting this threat and I
urge everyone to take stock of the simple methods that offer the best
protection.

“Right now, this means making sure you are washing your hands properly
and regularly and always following the most current public health and
travel advice as it develops.”

The government said it was currently focusing on containing the spread
of the virus.

But the action plan says that if the virus becomes established, the
focus will be on providing “essential services, helping those most at
risk to access the right treatment”.

DHSC said yesterday (Wednesday) that it would publish guidance for the
care sector “shortly”, but there are concerns that this could focus on
the care industry and residential homes rather than disabled people
who employ their own personal assistants (PAs).

The Local Government Association said this week that councils were
working alongside Public Health England, the NHS and other
organisations to “assess risk, provide advice to communities and try
to prevent this virus spreading further” and that local plans were “in
place for every eventuality, including a pandemic”.

Few if any disabled people’s organisations (DPOs) have spoken out yet
about the impact of COVID-19.

But some disabled people and DPOs have begun to express concerns.

Disability Rights UK (DR UK) is one of the first DPOs to speak out.

Kamran Mallick, DR UK’s chief executive, told Disability News Service
(DNS) that disabled people should not be seen as “inevitable cannon
fodder in the face of COVID-19” when it was those with underlying
health conditions who appear to be “bearing the brunt of the worst
effects of this illness”.

He said DR UK was seeking evidence that hospitals would be able to
cope with “the most vulnerable cases in the event of mass infection”.

He added: “Our lives matter as much as the next person’s.”

Mallick called on the government to make extra funding available in
next week’s budget “to allow for the extra social care that would
inevitably be needed for disabled people should an epidemic take
hold”, in addition to the “desperately needed” funding the social care
system already needed.

He also warned that “self-isolation” in the event of infection with
the virus was not as easy for many disabled people as it might be for
non-disabled people.

He said: “We would ask that those responsible for planning in social
care and hospitals understand and provide for the fact that, if
self-isolating, not everybody can be alone.”

He said adequate provision would be needed for those who cannot
self-isolate alone, including those who need full-time assistance,
support with eating, drinking and mobilising.

But he also said that people whose immunity was compromised should
already be “well-versed in hygiene routines, including asking people
with any symptoms of any virus to stay away, and practising good
hand-washing hygiene”.

He said: “As far as we can tell at this stage, the same procedures
apply for COVID-19.

“We are advising members to watch out for updates in advice from
Public Health England and to act accordingly.”

Mark Williams (pictured, speaking), co-founder of Bristol Reclaiming
Independent Living, said: “As a disabled employer, I am concerned
about my staff and their capability of supporting me to carry on
living independently.

“It is all very well for the government to tell people self-isolate or
work from home, but there is no advice for people in my situation and
how it might affect them.

“Even at prime minister’s questions this week, when asked about his
social care plans, Boris Johnson talked about elderly people being
able to keep their homes – nothing about how it would affect
working-age disabled people.

“Therefore, why should he think about how coronavirus might affect us?”

Mel Close, chief executive of Disability Equality (NW), said her
organisation had begun to receive calls from disabled people concerned
about COVID-19.

She said: “We’re trying to be consistent in reassuring them, and are
using the NHS guidance/key messages – which we’ve also circulated to
staff.”

Access and inclusion expert Sarah Rennie told DNS she had already
taken some precautions.

She said: “I have spinal muscular atrophy, so any sort of flu or
pneumonia would be life threatening.

“I have cancelled all face-to-face work for the next month (not great

Hi

In my understanding,an NGO cannot be closed or terminated by themselves. 
Probably it is for this reason, reregistration is required every 5 years.
Legal experts may fill in. What is the deregistration process? Logically there 
should be a sun set provision.

 their registration every five years through an amendment to the Income Tax Act 
came under criticism at a public meeting in the city on Wednesday.
https://www.thehindu.noclick_com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-mumbai/charitable-institutions-are-over-regulated-in-india/article31046373.ece
Experts and representatives from various trusts and non-government 
organisations participated in the event organised by The Association for 
Protection of Public Trusts and Charities. They have decided to present a 
memorandum to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressing their 
grievances.

Ms. Sitharaman had proposed substantial amendments for granting exemptions to 
charitable and religious trusts in the Union Budget 2020. Under the new tax 
regime, the Finance Minister proposed to introduce Section 12AB to grant 
registration to charitable institutions, enabling them to claim exemption under 
Section 11 of the Act.

All charitable institutions, including those registered under Sections 12AA or 
12A, will now have to make a fresh application for registration on or before 
August 31 to be eligible to claim the exemption. On receiving the application, 
the Principal Commissioner of Income Tax or the Commissioner can grant 
registration to the trusts under Section 12AB, after carrying out the required 
examination. The registration granted after the examination will be valid only 
for five years.

“The amendments are very few, but have far-reaching implications,”
said senior advocate Firoze Andhyarujina. The most crucial issue, he said, was 
the requirement for charitable institutions to make a fresh application for 
re-registration at the end of five years. “The other major issue is the 
confusion as to the role of the assessing officer in determining the object of 
the institution. The proposed amendments do not clearly state whether the 
registration granted will be valid till the end of the assessment year or the 
financial year after completion of five years,” Mr. Andhyarujina said.

Chief executive, Centre for Advancement of Philanthropy, Noshir Dadrawala, said 
charitable institutions and trusts are the most over-regulated sector in India.

Chartered accountant Viren Merchant questioned the need to renew the 
registration every five years. “If companies are not required to re-register, 
then why do charitable institutions need to do so? When clauses for 
cancellation of registration and scrutiny assessment exist, then what is the 
need to re-register?” he asked.


If companies are not required to re-register, then why do charitable 
institutions need to?

for Protection of Public Trusts and Charities. They have decided to
present a memorandum to Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
expressing their grievances.

Ms. Sitharaman had proposed substantial amendments for granting
exemptions to charitable and religious trusts in the Union Budget
2020. Under the new tax regime, the Finance Minister proposed to
introduce Section 12AB to grant registration to charitable
institutions, enabling them to claim exemption under Section 11 of the
Act.

All charitable institutions, including those registered under Sections
12AA or 12A, will now have to make a fresh application for
registration on or before August 31 to be eligible to claim the
exemption. On receiving the application, the Principal Commissioner of
Income Tax or the Commissioner can grant registration to the trusts
under Section 12AB, after carrying out the required examination. The
registration granted after the examination will be valid only for five
years.

“The amendments are very few, but have far-reaching implications,”
said senior advocate Firoze Andhyarujina. The most crucial issue, he
said, was the requirement for charitable institutions to make a fresh
application for re-registration at the end of five years. “The other
major issue is the confusion as to the role of the assessing officer
in determining the object of the institution. The proposed amendments
do not clearly state whether the registration granted will be valid
till the end of the assessment year or the financial year after
completion of five years,” Mr. Andhyarujina said.

Chief executive, Centre for Advancement of Philanthropy, Noshir
Dadrawala, said charitable institutions and trusts are the most
over-regulated sector in India.

Chartered accountant Viren Merchant questioned the need to renew the
registration every five years. “If companies are not required to
re-register, then why do charitable institutions need to do so? When
clauses for cancellation of registration and scrutiny assessment
exist, then what is the need to re-register?” he asked.


If companies are not required to re-register, then why do charitable
institutions need to?

[AI] News of interest: Retired judge to dispose of properties of mentally challenged man adopted by HC

2020-02-28 Thread avinash shahi
fter the death of his parents.

Justice P.N. Prakash, who had been following up the case of Mr. Rajan
for the last four years by keeping him under foster care at
Madurai-based MS Chellamuthu Trust and Research Foundation run by
reputed psychiatrist C. Ramasubramanian, had appointed Justice K.
Chandru to dispose of the properties and use the money to take care of
him.

It was during the hearing of a petition alleging abduction of Mr.
Rajan that Justice Prakash learnt about the mentally challenged man
who had lost his mother at the age of 14. His wealthy father had got
him married at the age of 29 but the wedlock did not last long as the
woman decided to part ways and obtained divorce on mutual consent
after citing his illness.

However, after Mr. Rajan’s father death in 2013, his former wife
abducted him with the assistance of her associates and got remarried
solely with the intention of grabbing the properties. However, a
family friend rescued him and filed a case in court leading to Justice
Prakash ordering a Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department
(CB-CID) inquiry.

Finding that a huge gang was waiting for an opportunity to usurp the
properties of the hapless individual whose life could be at risk if
the court does not step in to safeguard him, the judge ensured his
safety handing him over to the trust in Madurai where he had developed
a lot of skills over the last four years through the intervention of
trained personnel.

[AI] News of interest: 5-day working week for employees of Maharashtra govt from February 29

2020-02-12 Thread avinash shahi
THE MAHARASHTRA government on Wednesday announced five-day working
week for most of its employees from February 29. While Saturdays and
Sundays will be holidays, the employees will have to work for 45
minutes extra the rest of the five days.
https://indianexpress.com/article/india/maharashtra-government-employees-five-day-work-week-february-29-6265293/
The decision, modelled on the lines of the Union government and
certain states, was taken at a meeting of the state Cabinet. There are
over 20 lakh employees in government, semi-government and local bodies
in the state.

The new rules, however, will not be applicable on officials who come
under the ambit of Factories Act or Industrial Disputes Act. Also,
employees working in government schools and colleges, hospitals,
police and fire brigade have been excluded, as they are required for
essential services. The president of Maharashtra State Gazetted
Officers Association, G D Kulthe, said around 15 lakh employees are
set to benefit from the new rule.

Till now, apart from a holiday on Sunday, government employees got
additional weekly offs on the second and fourth Saturdays of every
month. “Now, officials will be able to give time to their families…
improve their quality of life. It will also help the state save some
money on administrative and logistics expenses like electricity,
petrol and diesel, as the offices would remain shut on Saturdays,” an
official from the general administration department said.

The move comes a week after Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray met with
members of the Maharashtra State Gazetted Officers Association, who
raised the issue with him.

Sources said that the five-day week was enforced in the state in 1985.
Subsequently, the Centre’s Fourth Pay Commission in 1986 had
recommended that weekly working hours be increased to 40 hours. “The
Union government had then revised the office timings from 9.30 am to 6
pm, increasing office timings by 45 minutes every day. But employee
associations had opposed the move. So, the five-day week plan was
shelved in 1988,” a senior official said.

Since then, government offices in Mumbai function from 9.45 am to 5.30
pm. Outside Mumbai, the offices function from 10 am to 5.45 pm. From
February 29, the offices would be functional from 9.45 am to 6.15 pm.

Also, with the new rules, the total number of working days will come
down from 288 to 264. The total working hours will, however, increase
from 2,088 hours to 2,112 hours, along with an additional 24 hours.

Apart from the Centre, governments of Rajasthan, Bihar, Punjab, Delhi,
Tamil Nadu and West Bengal follow the five-day week norm.

[AI] News of Interest from Italy: Two arrested in Sicily over large-scale disability fraud

2020-01-15 Thread avinash shahi
Police in Sicily have arrested two men and placed 33 people under
investigation over a large-scale disability fraud.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/14/two-arrested-palermo-sicily-over-large-scale-disability-scam-blindness-paralysis
Investigators in Palermo identified at least 12 cases of so-called
falsi invalidi (“false invalids”), including a man who allegedly for
years received a disability pension for his feigned paralysis.

According to the Palermo district attorneys who led the investigation,
the two men who were arrested had established a network of physicians
and welfare officials who, in exchange for substantial sums of money,
falsified medical certificates, declaring that their patients suffered
from grave disabilities such as blindness or paralysis, which were
entirely fabricated.

Investigators uncovered the alleged fraud using hidden cameras and
wiretaps. A woman who for years had been receiving a disability
pension for blindness was allegedly filmed each morning as she read
the post outside her home.

According to investigators, the price to obtain a false certification
was equivalent to the first 12 months of the disability pension.

District attorneys have also placed under investigation officials
employed at INPS, Italy’s public and largest social security welfare
institute, who have been implicated in the false certification fraud
in exchange for payment.
Every year investigators uncover thousands of falsi invalidi costing
the state millions of euros.

In April 2019, the police arrested an Italian man after he allegedly
falsely claimed €137,000 (£117,000) in benefits over 10 years by
pretending to be paraplegic. He was even granted an audience with the
pope in 2015. Police said his scam started in 2007 when he staged a
road accident with an accomplice.

According to police, in order to simulate deterioration in his leg
muscles, the man used to inject himself with lidocaine — an
anaesthetic used to numb tissue in a specific area. He was arrested
when he returned to Florence airport after a holiday in Togo, where
police footage showed him walking off the plane. He is pleading not
guilty.

In 2018, a Naples man was convicted after he accumulated more than
€100,000 in state payments for a rare form of blindness. His feigned
eye disease was uncovered when he was filmed while driving a scooter.
Those arrested have yet to make any statements in response.

[AI] News of Interest: Nodal officers to monitor children with disabilities in Delhi govt schools

2019-11-10 Thread avinash shahi
https://www.hindustantimes.com/delhi-news/nodal-officers-to-monitor-children-with-disabilities-in-delhi-govt-schools/story-08R0Upjc9P7tm0KC8apKWN.html

The Delhi government’s department of education (DoE) has appointed
nodal officers from its own department in each district to deal with
all matters related
to children with disabilities in government schools and
government-aided schools.

The officers will deal with all the matters related to the admission
of children with disabilities and the facilities to be provided to
them in the schools.

The move, a first in Delhi, is to implement the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities (PWD) Act,2016 properly, the DoE has said. Under the PWD
act, every
child with disability between the age of six to eighteen years shall
have the right to free education in a neighbourhood school, or in a
special school.
The school campuses should be accessible for these kids and there
should be at least one special educator in every school.

In an order issued on Thursday, the DoE said that these nodal officers
will submit quarterly reports of the students with disabilities
enrolled in the
schools falling under their jurisdiction with the directorate. The
order mentioned the roles officers are supposed to play including
ensuring admission
of children with disabilities without any discrimination, equal
education opportunities and sports and recreational activities to
them, accessibility of
building and campus, among others.

With special focus on children with visual and hearing disabilities,
the DoE order stated, “Ensure that education to persons who are blind
or deaf or both
is imparted through most appropriate languages and means of communication.”

Explaining the reason behind the move, a senior DoE official said,
“The idea is to retain the students with disabilities enrolled in
government schools
in Delhi. The nodal officers will also be monitoring the participation
of these students in classes.”

Presently, around 20,000 children with disabilities are enrolled
across 1,030 government schools across the city. There are 13
districts under the jurisdiction
of the DoE.

Indian Railway could not have done this at the first instance and.
government institutions must ensure that job reservation rights of
disabilities are protected.
every time disabilities are coming and fighting and then getting their
legitimate rights are not a good sign for inclusive India.

[AI] News of Interest: 2021 census to be conducted through mobile phone app

2019-10-10 Thread avinash shahi

2021 census to be conducted through mobile phone app
Top census officials have discussed a strategy to carry out the
massive exercise to count different aspects of India’s a billion plus
population and run the entire process seamlessly, the Home Ministry
said on Friday.

The all India conference of state coordinators and directors of Census
Operations and updation of National Population Register (NPR), held in
the last two days, discussed the preparation for Census 2021 and how
to eliminate doubts, if any, about the gigantic exercise.

The 2021 census will be conducted through a mobile phone application,
moving away from the traditional pen and paper.

The census will have its reference date as March 1, 2021, but for
snow-bound Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand it will
be October 1, 2020.

Senior officials were also explained logistics involved for carrying
out the census and how dissemination of information will be done to
raise awareness on census, a Home Ministry statement said.

Along with different aspects of the census, discussion was held on
updation of National Population Register (NPR) in the country.

As the digital methodology to be used in the upcoming census,
presentations were made on Mobile App for census — house listing, NPR
data collection and popular enumeration — besides census management
and monitoring portal.

The aim of the event was to interact with attending officers to help
them understand the preparation for Census 2021, eliminate any doubts
regarding the same and have an interactive session on suggestions for
improvement, the statement said.

To disseminate information on different aspects of census,
presentations were given to state coordinators and directors of census
operations.

The event began with an inaugural address from Registrar General and
Census Commissioner of India Vivek Joshi, who explained different
aspects of the exercise.

The role of different states for census 2021, support being provided
to states by the central government and the support expected by states
to run the census process seamlessly were also discussed.

Training of national trainers is to start from October 14, 2019 and
senior state officials have been informed about the schedule of the
training.

As the training is to be scaled up from the national level till the
enumerators level, the state officials have been asked to ensure
everyone’s participation. This will help in avoiding gaps in the
census operation, the statement said.

The mammoth nationwide exercise will be carried out in 16 languages
and at a cost of ₹12,000 crore.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah last month had said census data will be
collected through a mobile app.

This is for the first time that the mobile app will be used for the
census exercise, moving away from the pen and paper census to digital
data, which will be a big revolution in the country’s census exercise,
Mr. Shah had said.

The central government has also decided to prepare a National
Population Register (NPR) by September 2020 to lay the foundation for
rolling out a citizens’ register across the country.

The NPR will be a list of usual residents of the country. Once the NPR
is completed and published, it is expected to be the basis for
preparing the National Register of Indian Citizens (NRIC), a pan-India
version of Assam’s National Register of Citizens (NRC), an official
said.

For the purpose of NPR, a usual resident is defined as a person who
has resided in a local area for past six months or more or a person
who intends to reside in that area for the next six months or more.

The NPR exercise will be conducted in conjunction with the house
listing phase, the first phase for Census 2021. The NPR exercise is
conducted at the local, sub-district, district, state and national
levels.

The RGI has already begun a pilot project in over 1,200 villages and
40 towns and cities through 5,218 enumeration blocks, where it is
collecting various data from people. The final enumeration will begin
in April 2020 and end in September 2020.

“Blindness is only in the eyes. The mind has no blindness.” This was
the refrain chanted by the radio listeners with visual disabilities at
a programme in St. Aloysius College here on Sunday. Community Radio
Sarang at the college had organised a special programme to celebrate
the national award it had won recently.

The programme ‘Antar Belaku’ highlighted the life of the listeners of
Radio Sarang with visual disabilites.

On Sunday, many who were part of that radio programme and other such
listeners turned up for the programme.

An ardent listener of Sarang, Damodar Varkady, said: “I am blind only
in my eyes. But I see through my inner eyes, as my mind is not blind.
I have learnt a lesson listening to Radio Sarang, that we must not
compare ourselves with those who are above us. We must look at those
who are worse than us and be happy that I am much better”.

Another listener with visual disabilities, who came all the way from
Mudigere, said that he did not want to miss this programme as he knew
that he would meet many people like him.

“I am delighted today to meet my friends here. I had heard them on
radio. But today I got an opportunity to meet them in person,” he
said.

Speaking on the occasion, yakshagana artiste and retired teacher
Bhaskara Rai Kukkuvalli said that there was a big difference between
seeing and perceiving.

Rector of St. Aloysius Institutions Dionysius Vaz said that most of
the time, those who have eyes see only the negative things around
them. “These listeners with visual disabilities cannot see anything
negative in life. They see only the goodness in others which they see
from within, and we must learn such a trait from them,” he said.

All the listeners were honoured during the programme, according to a
release from the college.

[AI] News article of interest

2019-06-13 Thread Boopathi P
From the Hindu:
This online Tamil library focuses on visually challenged users

Online library Vaasippom helps visually impaired people find the best of
Tamil learning materials in one place
Technology may have upended traditional print media forever, but more
people are into reading than ever before. Digital archiving and databases
have made it possible for niche sections of the reading public, such as the
visually challenged, to dip into the same pool as everyone else when it
comes to electronic and audio books.

One such online resource is ‘Vaasippom’ (Let Us Read), an online Tamil
library for visually impaired people. Started in 2017 with the aim of
creating a centralised system of electronic learning materials in Tamil for
visually impaired users, Vaasippom currently has 250 registered members
from across the world, and 14 sighted volunteers from Tiruchi, Madurai,
Coimbatore and Chennai, who are in charge of reading and recording texts.

“I started as a volunteer in a reading centre in Chennai, and later joined
a Google group for the visually impaired. While sharing electronic and
audio books, I realised that there was no central database of what we were
working on. I started Vaasippom to connect users and volunteers and also
minimise repetition,” says S Ravikumar, founder of the web resource, and a
software professional based out of Chennai.

Ironing out the tech

Ravikumar also noticed that the available texts were predominantly in
English, and as such, were automatically compatible with the existing
software.

“Tamil has to be transcribed with the help of Unicode (an international
encoding standard for languages by which each letter, digit, or symbol is
assigned a unique numeric value that applies across different platforms and
programs). We wanted to reach out to people who were having trouble finding
good quality material in Tamil,” he says.

Vaasippom started with 18 audio-books and 120 e-books, and currently has
300 volumes in each of the formats. E-books are available in WORD, HTML,
EPUB, MOBI versions, and have an advantage over audio, because
screen-reading software (NVDA/JAWS/E Speak) enable visually impaired users
to ‘read’ books independently.

In the case of audio books, volunteers use their mobile phones or digital
voice recorders and forward their clips to Ravikumar, who checks for
textual and technical quality before uploading them on Vaasippom. “We
advise our readers to do their recording in a calm studio-like environment,
and take regular half-hour breaks to ensure a consistent reading style. It
takes a reader 10 hours to record 300 printed pages,” says Ravikumar.

As recording technology has evolved from magnetic audio tapes to compact
disks, USB drives, IC recorders, screen reading software, and even Optical
Character Recognition (OCR), it has reduced the visually impaired user’s
need for a human aide, says Ravikumar.

“At first I felt that this was something that the visually impaired needed
because they didn’t have any other option. But within a year of starting
Vaasippom, I was pleasantly surprised to see that technology has actually
made them so independent that they are now developing web pages, software
and even operating systems on their own,” he says.

Responsible reading

On popular demand, Vaasippom lists out creative writing by visually
impaired members on a separate page. Ravikumar is also mulling a section on
radio plays done by visually impaired actors.

He has also started a section called ‘Namakku Naame’ (We, for Ourselves),
which encourages members to contribute a small sum every month to create a
book-buying fund for the group.

“We have 70 people who have subscribed to this scheme. It allows Vaasippom
to focus on the specific titles that our members want, without having to
rely on donors to buy them for us,” says Ravikumar. “This also makes people
more actively involved in the book selection process.”

Vaasippom’s greatest success has been the transcription of the new Tamil
Nadu school syllabus text-books which are used by Government school
teachers, students and people who are preparing for competitive exams.

The library keeps the buzz going with group chats on WhatsApp and Google,
overcoming geographical and physical barriers. “Among the books that we are
really proud of having in our database is an audio version of K
Venkatesan’s Inthiya Varalaru (Indian History), done by our volunteers
Sudha and Prabha, and a dramatised Tamil translation of Harry Potter by
visually impaired users,” says Ravikumar.

As the demand for English texts grows, Ravikumar feels Vaasippom should get
at least a thousand Tamil titles on its database first. “As a society, we
have a long way to go when it comes to saving literature. Digital archiving
is one possible solution to reclaim what we have lost in its original
version,” he says.

Hello,

Some time back it was announced that one can subscribe these newspapers on 
Sugamya Pustakalaya. I did subscribe and received a couple of editions. After 
that it just stopped renewing. 

Wouldn't it be better if the circulation is resumed on sugamya? 

Thanks.

Hi,
For desktop, you can also use the free epub cloud reader, which
connects to your google drive and facilitates easy access to these
documents on web brouzers. It looks like its completely accessible,
although I haven't explored it much.

Thanks Amanpreet & Nirmal for discussing SuperNova.

No they are not. But it contains all the news released by the publication
on that say till that time. In a way it will have updated information till
10 a m of that day.

There are a few days when the newspapers dont give their RSS fedd properly
or there are some technical glitch then you might face some difficulties.

Seven newspapers should make you information rich.

[AI] News of Interest: Access Audit report from Bengaluru submited: most buildings are not disabled-friendly

2016-12-21 Thread avinash shahi
Cinthya Anand and Sarumathi K. Bengaluru:
December 21st 2016 the Hindu
http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/For-the-differently-abled-govt.-buildings-have-too-many-barriers/article16917843.ece

The corridors of power in the city, for the most part, still remain
inaccessible to persons with disabilities. An accessibility report on
50 government buildings compiled by Bengaluru-based NGO Sama
Foundation shows that only Vikasa Soudha provides the most
barrier-free environment for the differently-abled.

The report was submitted to the Department of Empowerment of Persons
with Disabilities, under the Ministry of Social Justice and
Empowerment, in October. “We conducted our report based on a number of
parameters given by the government, including the physical feature of
a building for accessibility, whether information available was in
disabled-friendly formats (Braille, audio guides) and if the staff was
trained to deal with the needs of persons with disabilities. We found
that most government buildings do not meet the guidelines. While most
have ramps, they are not as per prescribed standards,” Ramanathan,
director, Sama Foundation, said.




According to Sama, one of the reasons why Vikasa Soudha provides
accessibility is because the building is relatively new, unlike a
majority of the government offices. It has wide doors, corridors that
allow people on wheelchairs to manoeuvre easily, and separate
disabled-friendly restrooms. Other positive features of the building
include having operating person for elevators, good accessibility to
the cafeteria and signages — though not in Braille. Introducing audio
systems to help the visually-impaired and wheelchairs at all floors
will be of great help, says the report. However, Vikasa Soudha is an
exception. Important building such as Vidhana Soudha, the renovated
Town Hall, Visvesvaraya Museum, BBMP head office and Victoria Hospital
and educational institutions were found to be lacking in most
parameters. Even the office of the State Commissionerate for Persons
with Disabilities in Sheshidripuram is not barrier-free. Though the
building has a ramp, there is no Braille signage or audio guides for
sight and hearing impaired. H.C. Padmanabha, Assistant Commissioner
for Persons with Disabilities in the State, acknowledges the irony.
“Many government offices, including our own, are not accessible to
persons with disabilities,” he said. Referring to how departments have
fared in implementing barrier-free environments, he said, “The
Education Department has done better than other departments, with most
new schools being set up under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan following norms
for accessibility.” But Mr. Ramanathan said that there’s plenty of
room for improvement in schools. “We work with government schools and
most of them are a long way from being disabled-friendly. Most don’t
have toilets for persons with disabilities. Only the presence of
ramps, most of which defy prescribed norms, cannot make them
barrier-free,” he said.

Citizens keen to make High Court more accessible

Bengaluru: A group of citizens recently submitted a petition to the
High Court Registrar (Administration) asking for the High Court to be
made more accessible to persons with disabilities. While the High
Court has a few ramps connecting to a few buildings on the premises,
they are situated at the back and difficult to locate, said Smita
Ulchil, one of the petitioners and a member of One Step at a Time
(OSAAT), an organisation working with persons with disabilities.
“There are many entrances ... but all of them do not have ramps and
there is no signage indicating where the ramps are located,” she said.
It was not sufficient to put a ramp without making it easy for persons
with disabilities to access the building. “A friend with a prosthetic
was not allowed to bring his car inside the premises for security
reasons and had to park at a distance. He had to walk on uneven
surfaces, something he found difficult,” she said. Registrar
(Administration) T.G. Shivashankare Gowda received the petition and
acknowledged that better signage would help persons with disabilities
navigate the premises better. He promised to install braille signage
on the premises soon.

A look at buildings

All buildings have ramps, but this alone does not make them
barrier-free. A look at accessibility in some of the key government
buildings in Bengaluru:

Vidhan Souhda

For a massive building like this, there aren’t enough ramps for easy
access. Also, there are no signages or audio systems to assist persons
with disabilities.

High Court

Of the north, central and south wing of the High Court, only the
central wing has a ramp. However, there is no provision for parking
for persons with disability.

University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering

The main entrance only has steps. There is no alternative accessible
entrance to the building for wheelchair-users. No ramps have been
provided. There are neither signages nor designated park

[AI] News of interest: Hariana govt directive: women with visual disability to unfurl the national flag on Republic Day next year as "chief Guest"

2016-12-21 Thread avinash shahi
Chandigarh, Dec 16 (PTI) Haryana government has decided to let women
with visual disability unfurl the national flag on Republic Day next
year as "chief
guest", a move aimed at empowering women through gender sensitisation.
http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/visually-disabled-women-to-hoist-tricolour-on-r-day-in-haryana/1/836151.html
The state government has decided that during the Republic Day
functions on January 26, the honour to unfurl the national flag as
chief guest will be bestowed
upon a woman, or a girl, who is a resident of the respective village
or city and is visually disabled, officials said today.

The directive is to be followed in all educational institutions,
villages and cities, they said.

The chief secretary issued a circular in this regard to all Divisional
Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners in the state.

In case no visually-disabled women or girl is available, the "chief
guest" then should be a woman or a girl with more than 70 per cent
disability, said
an official release.

The move is likely to help sensitise people about gender inequality
and raise awareness on women empowerment. PTI CHS ABH

Good Vamshi,
Though Marrying someone by choice should always be respected as the
right of an individual yet marrying a deity, and that too, by a
disabled woman is something quite different. It really needs to be
pondered seriously. Let alone the question of disability, a girl can
marry Lord Krishna or Shiva or anyone but have we ever heard a male
marrying a Goddess? Religion shaping masculinity/femininity and
disability should be looked upon as a sociological and psychological
thing. These are my instant reactions; if anything comes to my mind
then I will keep following the thread.

2016-12-13 Thread Vamshi. G
With marriage for disabled presenting its own difficulties, is this
what people started resorting to?   And, as said by Rajesh sir, this
is manifestation of disabled being termed as Divyang.  Well, when a
male SP of police department in Mathura claims he is Radha (lover of
Krishna), a female wishing to marry Krishna is not too surprising,
whether or not disabled.  I really wish sanety prevails in this world!

Subject: [AI] News of Interest: Visually challenged girl ‘marries’ Lord Krishna 
in MP’s Tikamgarh district

A 22-year-old visually challenged girl, who has been a staunch devotee
of Krishna since childhood, married an idol of the Hindu god at a
village in Tikamgarh district on Sunday.
http://www.hindustantimes.com/bhopal/visually-challenged-girl-marries-lord-krishna-in-mp-s-tikamgarh-dist/story-DmycTWQHPodJNriM2RhaaJ.html
Shalini’s ‘marriage’ was solemnised according to Bundelkhandi
traditions. The marriage procession reached the bride’s home in Digoda
village, where the ceremony was performed.

According to locals, Shalini has been reading religious scriptures
such as Ramayana, Bhagwat Geeta and playing musical instruments since
childhood. The villagers pay a lot of respect to the woman, as they
believe she possesses some supernatural power.

Shalini’s father Munnalal Bidua, a teacher, told HT that he has two
sons and two daughters. Shalini is visually challenged since birth.
She expressed her desire to marry ‘Lord Krishna’ recently. The parents
didn’t disappoint her and consulted a priest to fulfil the desire of
their daughter.

The marriage was scheduled for December 4, as according to Hindu
calendar it happens to be ‘Vivah Panchmi’. On Saturday, the marriage
rituals like menhdi and sangeet were held. On Sunday, the marriage
procession (baraat) was taken out from a temple with Lord Krishna’s
Laddu Gopal form as the bridegroom. After the marriage, the bride has
plans to continue living at her present home, where she has a separate
room converted into a temple.

Re: [AI] News: AI Squared is acquired by VFO home ofFreedom Scientific and Optelec

2016-06-16 Thread Amar Jain
This merger was apparent because the time when FS acquired Optelec,
there was enough news in the market that there is an investor base
which is looking to merge all these entities.

Frankly speaking, from a business perspective this makes good sense if
we look at cost of operations, and their major revenue from Government
of U.S. continues to exist.

But from a user perspective, I do not see any big advantage other than
getting some goodies like better voices, combo plans, etc. At least
nothing more in the near term. But surely it will be an interesting
space!

Hi Srinivasu Sir,
I too am eagerly looking forward to what these assistive technology
mergers will bring out. It cannot be denied that some of these when
they were individual entities, such as Freedom Scientific, Octillec,
GW Micro, AI Squares, were to some extent declining. It would be
interesting to observe the impact on user bases of these combined
forces.
Thanks.
