Re: [AI] My notes from the Seminar organised by the office of Chief Commissioner of Persons with disabilities
wonderful note Avinash. At 11:28 PM 3/16/2017 +0530, you wrote: My notes from the seminar: âchallenges in the implementation of the RPD Actâ 2016 organised by the office of Chief Commissioner of Persons with Disabilities Date: 16th March 2017 Venue: Bharatiya Pravasi Kendra Chanakyapuri Inaugural session Speaker: SK Prasad gave an overview of the seminar. Speaker: Joint Sec and chairperson of National Trust Mr Mukesh Jain Mr Jain: âthough the audience is not very big, but the all sitting here have the capacity to change the sector manifoldâ. Mr Jain: disability does not reside within individuals but it exists in the society. Mr Jain: there are 3 kind of challenges to implement the RPWD Act. 1. Substantive challenges: how to make intervention at the ground level. Healthcare, education and employment fall under substantive challenges. Mr Jain: disability policy should not be the afterthought, it should be built in all the policies. Challenge II: structural challenges Mr Jain: how to make all people with disabilities aware about the provisions under the RPWD Act. If we are able to achieve this, majority of our challenges will go away. Mr Jain: 2.68 crores people with disabilities are not sitting only in Delhi and Mumbai, they are their in the villages and making them aware about their rights should be the key. Mr Jain: if we are to bring accessibility, we will have to train, municipal workers, and the other stakeholders such as SP, DSP and the Majistrates. Mr Jain: removal of prejudice against PWDS. Publick employers should be made aware of the skills of PWDS. Mr Jain: procedural challenge: all state CCPD offices should become the centre for the monitoring and coordinating of the schemes. Speaker: KK Pandey (CCPD) Mr Pandey: though the numbers comprising of state commissioners, NGO representatives government officials and the researchers are less but we should not forget you are the seed which will germinate and bring out the necessary change required in the country. Mr Pandey: In Maharashtra, Gulab Ray Maharaj was the one blind âdivyangâ who wrote 150 books thousand years ago. Mr Pandey: âDivyangâs have always contributed for the nation. They are not burdens what they need an opportunity. Of late science has won over disability. Anyone can become âdivyangâ so we all should be aware about its challenges. Mr Pandey: In the last 2 and a half years, the government of India has organized more than 4 thousand equipment distribution camps and moore than 6 lakhs âdivyangâ have got benefited. The government had to incur around Rs 4 crore for this initiative. Mr Pandey: We are now moving from the charity approach to the rights approach. Mr Pandey: the government wants to implement the RPWD Act on the Ambedkar Jayanti on 14th April 2017. Remember the PWDA 1995 took 3 years to see its rules notified. You can thus see the commitment of the Modi Government. Mr Pandey: There is no fixed format in the disability sector. Its evolving and we have to remain vigilance. Its not a sector where trade union operates. We have to find solution with consensus in the sector. Mr Pandey: There is need to give opportunity to all âdivyangjanâ of the country. I end here Thank you. Speaker: N S kang Secretary DEPWD Mr Kang: The government and the civil society need to work in tendom to see that the law is implemented effectively. Mr Kang: on the 10th of March we put the draft of the rules on our website, please send suggestions. Send us your objections soon so that we could publish the rules on 14th on April on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti. Mr Kang: the larger challenge is to how we make disabled people aware about their entitlements envisaged under the legislation. Mr Kang: in the last 2 years, we have sceen great change in the attitude of peoplw towards PWDs which is encouraging. We should carry on the momentum. We are determined to ensure equal status for the people with disabilities. Avinash: We break for tea now. We are heading towards the lift which is Braille-embedded. The people have now started networking. Some NGO representatives are looking desperate to meet government officials. They have to show their credentials. My friend Yogesh and Me both totally blind have found a table and one of the CCPD Office officials has instructed her colleagues to take care of our tea and snacks requirements. On my table, I happen to meet one woman who has a son who has multiple disabilities. She sstrikes a conversation: âHiâ, I responded Hellow! We discussed inclusive schooling and debated the prose and cons. Then we are meeting the State CCPD of Nagaland, who informes us that as per 2011 Census, in Nagaland there are only 29 thousand six hundred children have disabilities. He lamented that his office is clubbed with the social welfare department, and fund scarcity is the huge problem. We are done with tea
