dear harish, as i read the original post, i just found that the person trys
to find the information regarding the concession for electricity bill and
not begging for the concessions. so kindly review the remarks made in your
reply.
Then what is the justification for concession in Indian railways, telephone
bills, income tax under 80u, reservation in jobs, corporate social
responsibilities ect.
We must understand the ground reality about the position of disabled person
especially in India. This section of the society is still deprived of many
facilities and equal opportunities. The other aspect is the effort a
disabled person puts to earn anything like earning the marks in studies or
earning the money, we have to put the super extra efforts to get at the
equal level with main stream society. One more thing is the cost of living
of disabled person is more than others, a sited person can just study by
purchasing a text book and note book which will cost him about 4 to 500 rs.
But for a blind person he requires a c d player, a computer, a scanner and
the software's and other assistive items like braillers ECT. Which will cost
not less than 2 lacks r.s. the govt. of India or the state govt. or local
bodies has not provided us with social security measures, as provided in
western countries. like for example we don't have life insurance or even I
go for life insurance personally on my own expenditure then also I will be
charged high premium.
In this country if farmers can get free electricity then why we can't get
discount. O! I forgot we are not the potential vote banks. I don't know it
is our right to have any kind of discount but I certainly know it is
government and society's duty to facilitate our life.
Sorry, no intention of hurting anyone. I just wanted to bring attention of
list members on this issue.

Dear friend
What is the justification for the concession.
Interestingly the word handicap has come from hand in cap.
Until and unless we get over this hand in cap attitude, why should the
society not treat us so?
