This is a good idea. However, I think that we should not remain confined to the issue of accessible currency, although it is very important. We also need to ask the Governor whether after the passing of circular about the banking facilities for visually challenged customers, he has so far planned and implimented any large scale drive for sensitization of bank employees regarding the rights of persons with vvisual impairment? Without this measures, many dblind persons are still facing discrimination of various kinds by the banks. I have recently got a reply from RBI in a case that I have filed in the disability commission that it has so far not issued any cercular for Non-banking Financial Corporations (NBFCs) to ensure equal treatment for persons with visual impairment. Why is it that the RBI has been showing this careless attidued ? These and similar other questions may be asked. Vikas Gupta
