Hi all,
Organizing a session on employment and job fair will be another
excellent
idea. AI team can work with interested employers and organize walk in
panel. You can have successful blind people also on the panel so that any
accessibility issues can be easily dealt. Even if few people get
employment,
then it will be really good. I heard that silverlinings does great work
in
training and motivating disabled people. Perhaps, you can invite the
director of silver linings and ask her to give a talk on how blind people
should mold, motivate, adjust, learn and thrive in the main stream work
environment. Since people from different states come, it will be a great
opportunity to organize job fair. Regards,

I also recommend that we do a session on marriage and matrimonial issues.
I see so many wonderful well settled boys and girls who deserve the final
social rehabilitation and a happy life but several factors are preventing
it.

I think there can be a topic on how visually challenged should approach
marriage. Laws, circulars, etc. can take care of education, employment,
accessibility,.., but nothing can help when it comes to marriage. Its the
attitude of the visually challenged, ability to instill confidence in the
potential spouz and his/her family, and preferably some platforms that can
bring people together that might solve the problem. So, I think a session
can be dedicated to this issue.
Second, many visually challenged people are struggling to socialise with
the
main stream society due to some reasons. This is happening with some
people
who come from special schools due to their inexperience in mingling with
others as well as with those who become late blind and struggle to accept
their newly acquired disability.
So, the ability to socialise is more important for visually challenged
than
for others as it helps in being independent.
I would have loved to present on the above topic. But I can not come to
Delhi. Will come up with more on this thread.

Hi Neeraj,
Thanks for your response. If you could mention specific points that
may need
elaboration / clarification then I will be able to give more focused
responses. In any case I am putting down some more of my thoughts to
add to
the details, if it helps.
Suggestion is based on a much broader perspective and with a long
term horizon in view. It is intended to extend enabling means of a
better life to
which some of us are fortunate to have. Many organizations and
individuals are already working with that underlying objective. This
suggestion is primarily to take that effort to greater scale, and
enable an / or guide motivated individuals within our community to
achieve it.
It is understandable that only a small part of the total group
strength may
be looking to take up such a role / initiative, and that is why we
may need
a larger gathering of aware individuals to finally have a handful of
such new leaders. It is my firm belief that even if only a small
number of individuals may be the target audience of this, it could
have a significant
impact in a few years timeframe.
Since individuals come from different backgrounds and have different
levels
of knowledge / awareness / expertise of various aspects of
successfully running such initiatives, if we can create a pool of
mentors and guides who
are experienced in various associated fields it could be a real enabler.
Also, it would allow individuals within our community to realize a
sense of
fulfilment, while generating employment, extending help to many
others, and
possibly touching upon several new focus areas.
Thanks.
Alok

Dear Mr. Harish,
Here is my suggestion. This idea can be further refined by
discussing with
people experienced in this area.
Topic: Social entrepreneurship in the area of accessibility / social
sensetization / counselling / rehabilitation / improving quality of
life
Background:
There may be several individuals, like me, who are more than willing
to work in the social domain or possibly make it as as a key purpose
in their
lives. I think that it is extremely important to help in enabling
this segment of individuals to take a significant step in overall
scalability.
This could greatly enhance geographical reach as well as cater to
many more aspects.
Following points / aspects can be covered in this regard.
- Providing informational guidance regarding setting up a social
entrepreneurship venture, ongoing operations and compliance, etc.
- Creating a pool of individuals who are looking to work full time
or part
time in this area and have a drive to make a positive contribution.
This can be for individuals who are looking at this as an employment
opportunity, as well as for those who see this as something much
more than
employment.
- Create a pool of mentors and guides who can provide a need based
guidance during various stages of such a venture.
- Create a platform / formal or informal group where all such
individuals
can connect and get started.
In many cases people may be given a generic advice of getting
associated with one of the existing organizations. While this could
work for many cases, I see following limitations in that.
- Any individual who has such an inner drive is very likely to have
an idea about what and how he / she may want to do, which may not be
what the
nearby organizations may be doing.
- Geographical location of such organizations may be a limitations
for many individuals.
- Individuals who are already leading these organizations and have
established certain way of functioning may not appreciate any
significant
change in it.
- Individuals would be functioning at different levels and would
have different types of expertise, which may not be satisfactorily
used.
- It is not a scalable approach.
Thanks.
Alok
