Consider this Avinash: Once you get out of the education stage of your life, you work and live in an inclusive environment. What about the humiliation people go through. Inclusion right from early days prepares one to deal with the harsh realities of the World. Having said this, there is a lot of work that needs to be done in terms ground preparation of the inclusive education platform. It is inclusive education that also prepares the non disabled population to understand , appreciate and engage with disability and people with disability. This subject again can debated. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of avinash shahi Sent: 24 July 2014 12:24 To: accessindia; jnuvision; sayeverything Subject: [AI] Insulted by a university teacher, blind attempted suicide
So what the proponents of Inclusive education say on this? Psychological humiliation leaves more scars ,you know. We do not know how many of students go through similar experiences in colleges and universities? who cares about them? This teacher must be suspended forthwith. People in Odisha must take the matter with the concerned authorities. Such teachers who are incensitive to the needs of disabled students and humiliate them the need to be delth sternly by the law enforcing agencies. Do forward this to the people active in Odisha. http://www.telegraphindia.com/1140724/jsp/odisha/story_18646088.jsp Cry for suspension of Utkal faculty OUR CORRESPONDENT Bhubaneswar, July 23: Visually challenged students today sat on a protest before the disability commissioner's office here demanding immediate suspension of the Utkal university faculty Sujit Acharya. Acharya had allegedly insulted a visually impaired student, who was compelled him to attempt suicide. The students squatted in front of the commissioner's office on the premises of Capital Hospital, where the victim Chakradhar Dash is admitted since Friday. Twenty-five-year-old Chakradhar had tried to kill himself after he was allegedly humiliated by Acharya in an examination hall on July 17. Dash, a postgraduate student of history under the directorate of distance and continuing education,had gone to the varsity to appear for his semester exam. Chakradhar alleged that the faculty misbehaved with him and made fun of him and his scribe before the class asking him to sit near the toilet. Distressed due to the insult, the student had drunk a full bottle of phenyl. Friends of the boy, who found him unconscious, rushed him to the Capital Hospital where he is undergoing treatment. The student alleged that he was regularly cornered by the faculty of the directorate and had to study without any books or support of the teachers. "We have initiated an inquiry into the matters and will take action against anyone found guilty," said director Sasmit Pani directorate of distance and continuing education. Besides suspension of the teacher, the students also demanded the proper supply of Braille books and immediate implementation of the Braille transcription project announced by the government. A vigilance inquiry must be made into why schemes such as talking books meant to serve hundreds of blinds children has failed to deliver, demanded Joginder, a student. This apart, the students appealed to the state government as to why the educational institutions have been continuing collection of fee from the disabled, despite the announcement of the government for a fee waiver for such candidates. -- 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_accessin dia.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.
