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.

Hi Prashant


This is very useful. Thanks for sharing it.


I am placing a few suggestions from my side.You may suggest changes / additions.

Lets all put our heads together.




1 The word close caption should be replaced with closed caption and audio 
description
2 Education of disabled persons as a policy should be handled by HR ministry 
and not MSJE.
3 All public buses  should have functioning approaching stop announcement 
system. All trains / metros / mono rail should have approaching  station 
announcement,  in addition, announcing the direction of the platform.
4 All public buses should have announcement of the bus route and its 
destination. This will help visually disabled  passengers waiting at the bus 
stops.
5 Bus shelters should have seating facility benefiting senior citizens and 
disabled passengers waiting for their bus.
6 All housing projects of more than 20 flats should have10% of their flats sold 
to only disabled persons. Preferential floors and parking may also be provided 
and such flats should be particularly disabled friendly in design.Such flats 
should be charged on the floor rate where staggering rates are charged for 
flats of similar sizes.
7 All currency both physical and digital shall be disabled friendly. All 
physical Indian non disabled friendly currency shall be fully phased out not 
later than 5 years.
8 All payment systems on every platform shall be fully accessible.Particular 
efforts should be taken to facilitate payment requirements of international 
disabled tourists.
9 All tourist places, monument sites should be made disabled friendly. 
Incentives by means of soft loans may be provided to carry out suitable changes 
to make sites and services accessible to disabled persons.
10 Sugamya Bharath should take up or ordinate with appropriate authorities

residence. Progress of the status of the request should be regularly updated 
online.
11 The roads and footpaths must be made disabled friendly and all payment 
towards construction / repairs for the same may be done to the contractors on 
self declaration basis. Flash audit should be routinely carried out to examine 
the veracity of the certification and stringent penalties be levied on any 
deficiency of accessibility norms in addition blacklisting vendors repeatedly 
breaching accessibility norms.

12 Disabled persons should be provided with preferential allotment of parking 
including private apartments. Sugamya Bharath may be approached by disabled 
persons for its implementation
13 All disability identity card should be subsumed by UDID card and UDID card 
should be the only card for availing any facility for disabled persons 
throughout the country.
14 The UDID system by means of secured API calls should be able to authenticate 
the type of disability andits percentage
15 UDID cards should be provided to all disabled persons within 6 months. 
Special camps may be carried out for its role out. Business process re 
engineering may be adopted for its smooth role out. Severe penalties may be 
imposed including imprisonment faking disability.
16 Special courts concerning disability matters should be set up in every 
state, for smaller states and UT jurisdiction may be extended to more than 1 
state ensuring that the entire country is covered.
17 Disabled persons should be provided with legal assistance  by the state to 
fight any offenses done to them.

19 all repeat penalties should be enhanced by at least 50% more than the last 
penalty amount
20 A specially designed Accessibility badge may be given to products offered on 
GEM platform. This will help buyers diferentiate  for accessible products. 
Besides these may be given higher ranking in displaying similar prices Regards
