Guwahati, March 30: The All Assam Blind Students' Union today urged chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal and education minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to allow visually impaired students to take the teacher eligibility test (TET). In a memorandum to the chief minister and education minister, the union also demanded reservation in government service for people who had 100 per cent blindness and to increase the unemployment stipend for visually impaired students from the current Rs 6,000. The union also asked the authorities to arrest the president of the Disabled Protection Committee, Paramananda Rai, who was allegedly trying to allot the land of the blind school at Basistha to build a guesthouse. The union said it will not allow a single inch of the school land to be used for other purposes. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU The list has now migrated to www.accessindia.inclusivehabitat.in You should now post to the id: a...@accessindia.inclusivehabitat.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
