Hi
It is necessary to start with a deadline.Sure enough, looking at the
data it will be extended. Glad to know you concur with UDID
implementation.We have seen with linking PAN with Adhar, the deadline
was extended.
We too tend to lax without a deadline.
May I clear the myth which tends to be propagated in some quarters that
I am arbitrary in intervening in a flamed and out of scope postings.It
was certainly spelt out without context presently.
In many occasion in the past there was a effort to have a single
disability card. However, the effort was halfhearted then. Hopefully,
linked with Adhar it really happens.
We too need to keep the pressure that it happens.

For your information, it is the NPRD which advocated for a universally
valid ID for disabled right at its inception in 2010.
It was also at the NPRD's behest that the universal validity of the
disability certificate was incorporated into the RPD Act, 2016.
Therefore, the allegation that we are attempting to"stalling" this
effort is baseless and malafide. (I am sure, I too will be kicked out
of the list now).
But the DEPwD is setting a deadline of April 1, 2023 even while more
than half of the disabled population who possess disability
certificates have not been issued UDID cards. How can this be accepted?
Secondly, the central government's own departments do not accept the
UDID - railways for instance insists that one should procure the card
that it is issuing. Every year several cases are highlighted of MBBS
aspirants whose UDID cards are rejected and a reverification of their
disability done at designated centres. This defeats the very purpose
of the UDID.
I am not going into the various issues with the procurement of UDID
that people face, that is a different matter.
The NPRD's interest is to see that all disabled are able to get UDID
in a hassle free process. When the disability certificate is replaced
by the UDID and becomes valid for all purposes, it is natural that it
will become mandatory (like the certificate earlier) for availing any
scheme.
What we have asked for is the difficulties that people are facing in
the procurement of the UDID so that we can take it up with the
government. Let me make it loud and clear. We have not and do not
intend to stall or oppose the UDID.
All the best sathiyo.

Hi
It is my personal opinion that UDID should be made mandatory for
availing all services for the disabled.It should be the only
identification means for authenticating disability.
Having said this, all the services should be put in place before
the D date and scaling up should be fully factored in. There are
numerous benefits to us through UDID. We should not fall into the
temptation of stalling the effort and rather we should clearly not
join them.
There may be some difficulty for sometime. That always happens
during transition. As what they say, you don't throw the baby with
the bathwater
I am well aware, there is going to be sharp reactions to my line
of thought, however I am convinced UDID is progressive and
disabled friendly and this is the most important thing which can
make huge changes for our benefit.

Dear Muralidharan,
Thank you for taking up these matters. I pray you meet some
success. In India it seems a lot of this is going on: They
make something inaccessible to achieve, manditory to
achieve. Everybody should have 5 biscuits each from the
packet of biscuits, but there is an empty biscuit packet on
the table even before the distribution to all the attendees.
This is my experience having come to India. Very sad and
ironical. Aadhaar for the blind is impossible here in
Vrindavana because the agents say the retina scan cannot be
bypassed. Without Aadhaar I cannot get UDID either. When I
went to buy my home, they refused because a blind person
cannot own property. We have to be linked with a sighted
person who has Aadhaar so that the property can be
registered with the sighted person’s name. I am very hurt by
this behaviour in India, and there seems to be no authority
in place who really cares to actually do something.
Can you please help me? Very pained and frustrated.
Sometimes I feel life was better under our former captivity
of slave-owners and later the African leadership who hate
Indians in Africa. I came to India to become free. How wrong
was I? Now having returned home after 4 generations away, I
return home only to find we are slaves here to a highly
corrupt and disorganized administration. For example, the
National number for the Aadhaar Helpdesk is 1947. Guess
what! Only problem is it does not exist!!!
Thanks a lot however for doing what you can. Evidently you
are fighting a very difficult battle and my heart is with
you. May Bhagavan Sri Ramachandra who was the most organized
and loved King on Earth, walk with you – no – carry you
through this fight.

*Subject:* [AI] Issues with UDID
March 18, 2023
As all of you are aware, the UDID is being made mandatory
from April 1, 2023 for registering for central government
schemes.
This even while more than half of the disabled who have
certificates, have not been issued UDID or have enrolled but
not been issued certificates, or have been unable to enroll
for it, due to various issues.
UDID is being made compulsory even when central government’s
own ministries/departments viz. railways, for admissions to
MBBS, for recruitment in jobs, or many institutes of higher
learning are refusing to accept the validity of the card
The NPRD has written to the DEPwD objecting to the mandatory
imposition of the UDID.
It has also raised the issue of the refusal by various
departments to accept its validity.
Notwithstanding this, we would like to list before the
department, the issues that the disabled are facing with
regard to procuring UDID.
One of the main issues that has been identified especially
in the rural areas is about non-availability of seva
kendras, private centres charging hefty amounts, or they
being far away including their inaccessibility. Second issue
identified is about card not being issued despite passage of
a long time after enrollment.
We are seeking a meeting with the Secretary DEPwD next week.
The issues that we are attempting to list will be placed
before him.
You are requested to assist us by informing us of the issues
that you face. You may please mail to us by March 20, 2023
evening at [email protected]
