I have been told that after a lot of protests, disability was included in a very minar way in the last census. It would be nice if someone can share with the accessIndians related information or if there arre some published works based on such census figures. I have also been told that the left hand of Ms. Mayawati(UP CM) Shri Satish Shukla has written an article on the census figures pertaining to disabled in an edition of India Today. This kind of information may prove helpful for us in planning our strategy for improvement on this front in the coming census. Amar, if you can send me the schedule, (or its precise link), I will try to send it back to you and others in the word format. Information, understanding and determination are the key to success: let us join our hands in a movement for better information generation about disabled and disabilities. Best Vikas Gupta
