‘Disabled are not treated equally’ TNN | Updated: Sep 24, 2016, 02.45 PM IST Nagpur: "There are three types of prudence — legisprudence, jurisprudence and demoprudence. Out of these, demoprudence, the people, is the most important for revising the existing laws, institutions and doctrines. This will help reconstruct the society in an inclusive and open manner so as to accommodate Persons With Disability (PWD)," Prof Dr A Lakshminath, vice-chancellor, Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), Patna, on Friday. He was addressing the national seminar on 'Social and Legal Dimensions of Disability Laws and Policies in India' at Vanamati, Gorepeth. Guest of honour Dr Vijender Kumar, vice-chancellor of Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU), highlighted the social issues related to PWD and the role of 'Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities' in uplifting the protection towards specially abled persons. He emphasized on extending the scope and dimension of disability on the basis of integrated model of law. Dr SL Deshpande, head, PGTD of Law, Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University (RTMNU), said, "The world is based on the ablelist epistemology and the PWD are not treated equally with others. But disability is not inability. We need to reconstruct the jurisprudence, taking into account the life experience of the PWD." The technical session of the seminar focused on constitutional approach towards disability. Another session focused on conflicting interests of PWD. In the last session, there was a panel discussion on 'The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2014'. Special eye donation awareness session was also conducted by Saksham NGO. The event was organized by the post graduate teaching department of law, RTMNU. सादर / With thanks & Regards राजेश आसुदानी Rajesh Asudani सहायक महाप्रबन्धक AGM बाजार आसूचना ईकाई MIU भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक Reserve Bank of India नागपुर Nagpur 0712 2806369 President VIBEWA Co-Moderator VIB-India A-pilll = Action coupled with Positivity, Interest, Love, Logic and laughter. ________________________________ Caution: The Reserve Bank of India never sends mails, SMSs or makes calls asking for personal information such as your bank account details, passwords, etc. It never keeps or offers funds to anyone.
