Rajesh, Have you heard the AI convention recording of Mr. Rungta's speech?
Its clear that he supports the bifurcation and 2 disabilities -low vision
and blind but he does not, like you, want a reservation of .5% and .5% for
each of the disabilities. His reasoning was that low vision would get the
first position in the roster and the blind would have to wait. I have
understood your logic too. I still feel that practically you are right but
conceptually Mr. Rungta is right.
There has never been a dispute on whether visual disability should be
treated as one or two. There has been a problem about defining low vision
and then the reservation. If you could do a little more in depth work I will
be personally very grateful and most of the community would benefit.
Today we were in court for a blind girl who is seeking a job in a zilla
parishad. The job was reserved for low vision and blind. The Job has been
given to 3 low vision candidates. The blind girl has gone to court. She is
fourth on the list. The Chief Justice is trying to get the Zilla Parishad to
give her another job. The Zilla Parishad's CEO has been called on Monday
afternoon to court. Ultimately she will get some job. How often are we going
to go to court in such matters when there is discrimination against the
blind or should I say accomodation of the Blind?

Let me put it on record that Suggestions tendered by Adv. Santosh Kumar
Rungta are valid and do reflect our aspirations as blind and persons with
disabilities.
They only will take this draft to the level of something different from
existing act...
I find the bifurcation of reservation between blind and low vision in the
suggestions by Rungta Jee as well.
So it is erroneous to say that he does not support this bifurcation.
Let us strive caeselessly for incorporation of these amendments.
At any rate bifurcation between blind and low vision, clear definition of
low vision, unambiguous reservation provisions etc. must be there..

Subject: [AI] Draft disability bill
Friends
Amidst the chaos, could anybody obtain and circulate or send to me the
draft tabled by government in rajyasabha and the amendments tabled
thereafter.
I think draft was circulated but that mail contains suggestions by Rungta
and the covering letter. The document containing suggestions is
erroneously named draft RPD bill, so I was mislead.
Can anybody please?
With thanks and regards
