1. Accessibility particularly in air transport; terminals of airports, bus stations and railway stations (not all are accessible). Access to education (particularly with regard to PWD's in rural areas); there must be a law to make education for the disabled compulsory with priscription of criminal action against those (public or private) who deny admission to PWD's in their respective schools on the grounds of their disability. This has happened quite a few times in all the cities, particularly in Bangalore. Access to employment training. This has been in the realm of the NGO's who had to run them in shoestringed budgets. Let's make this a priority for the government, with a special emphasis that there has to be more allocation for job-oriented training for the PWD's in the budget. There must also be a provision to use the resources of NIVH or such bodies in exploring newer areas of employment and there has to be a substantial R&D on the PWD's employability and potential areas where the prospects of employing them is brighter. Awareness programmes that would dispel any misconceptions of PWD's. A strong emphasis on implementing job reservations for PWD and attractive incentives for corporates who employ them.

Now Social Welfare covers the affairs of persons with disability. The Stearing Committee delebrates on the proposals given by the Working Committees. The Working Committee has been broken up into ten thematic sub groups. The ten themes are as under 1. HRD 2. Education 3. Research 4. Science and Technology 5. Health and Rehabilitation 6. Legislation 7. Barrier Free environment 8. Social Security and Social Integration 9. Employment 10. Govt Schemes It would be extremely useful if you folks could put on your thinking caps and share with me ideas, views and recommendations that could be put in as proposals for the 11th Plan. Try and apply your minds to each of the ten themes. Please remember that the 11th Plan would determine the policy and action regarding our affairs for the next Five years. This is the time to raise our voices. I believe that we are looking for a paradime shift in the way the Govt looks at Disability. I am expecting from you guys recommendations and suggestions from the Vision Impaired point of view. You can send me your inputs privately on [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Try and send in your inputs by the 1st of October, 2006. This is a very serious opportunity we have to try and influence Govt plans and policy. So let us try and make the most of it. Best regards, George George Abraham C.E.O.
