Hope the minister took the suggestions in right spirit. I strongly feel that how so ever good may be the intention, unless the wording in the statute book are clear and certain it would remain unimplemented. Leave nothing to interpretation of Dopt babus. Its they who have created mess. A simple meaning of the word "vacancy" has two different interpretations for them - inclusive for Gp C and D and exclusive for Gp A and B posts. This has made reservation in promotion in Gp A and B literally redundant! This is just an example based on our field experience and there are several others. Would be keen to read your suggestions!

I tried to impress upon him my few concerns in a chaotic and time constrained and politically charged ambience as is the lot of any occasion graced by politicians. I urged upon him to personally consider the draft act once it is submitted by the committee and ensure that the principles of non-discrimination, enabling environment and specific entitlements are actually concretized and onus is clearly placed upon the concerned parties including government to make them actually available to persons with disabilities. Few specific areas I touched, include: Minimizing transformation of impairments into disabilities by adopting universal design and positive attitudes; Explicitly laying down basic principle of non discrimination; Creating enabling environment for all disabilities continuously by harnessing technology, modifying work practices/procedures, and human aid wherever feasible, by government and other players; Clearly providing for monetary responsibility for such enabling environment; Ensuring specific entitlements like disability reservation, scholarships etc. are actually implemented in all fields for specific disabilities, and making them available not in exclusion to general entitlements; Customize enabling environment, and apportion entitlements commensurate with severity of disability, as the severely disabled are excluded among the excluded, etc... This week I am sending my opinions on the working draft to the committee, before that I intend to publish them in these groups, any suggestions and comments are welcome......
