So wave of protests by disabled against discrimination are being staged for one or the other issues which is great cherning me thinks... Momentum should be carried on and fight for rights should be speeded up in smaller cities. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mysore/Blind-students-stage-protest/articleshow/31387476.cms Visually challenged students of Special Teachers' Training Centre staged a protest, seeking transfer of deputy director (DD) of the centre or cancellation of their admission, here on Monday.
The protesters alleged that the DD has been using abusive words. They alleged that the teachers at the Centre are not well qualified to teach them. "They do not have technical skills to train us. They have not announced the results even one year after holding the exams," they alleged. Further, they said that the Centre has not been providing them Braille devises to write. "Computer training has also stopped," they claimed. Demanding hostel facilities, the students said that their counterparts in other states have been provided good hostel facilities. The agitators also urged the department to transfer the DD. -- Avinash Shahi M.Phil Research Scholar Centre for The Study of Law and Governance Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi India Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
