My dear fellow bank employees with visual impairment
Today is going to be a red letter day in the history of Indian
financial
sector and disability movement.
Today, we, as the employees of the banking finance and insurance sector
who are visually challenged have come together as the "Visually Impaired
Bank Employees Welfare Association" VIBEWA.
I am privileged to launch the association with you all on this day.
On my behalf as the first president of this body, and on behalf of all
my
co-workers in the executive committee, I assure you all that we would
ceaselessly endeavor to empower all employees with all degrees of visual
impairment in the banking, finance and the insurance sector.
It is a matter of satisfaction that the sector is giving employment to
VI
as statutorily mandated. However, we need to go well beyond this,
though
this itself is fraught with challenges.
Going beyond entails procuring meaningful work, job satisfaction, a
fully
accessible and enabling work environment, non discrimination in all
stages
and aspects of career including but not limited to training, promotion
etc., parity with non disabled staff taking cognizance of special
requirements arising out of visual challenges at the same time, and
many
more such things.
The situation in law and on the ground is far from satisfactory.
So, we have decided to strive for our betterment and the betterment of
the
sector and build a momentous platform for the purpose.
The association is the fruit of much hard work put in by our founders
for
last couple of years.
However, the association cannot yield fruit without your active
cooperation.
I, as the first president, and as a fellow visually impaired bank
employee, call upon all of you, to associate with the association in
thought word and deed!
Become the member and witness the change! Nay, be a part of the change!
We individually or collectively, cannot bring utopia overnight, but we
collectively, can march on and give a more accessible, a more
satisfying,
a more enabling, a more positive, a more equal, a more equitable, a more
meaningful career to ourselves and to those aspiring to succeed us.

So, three cheers to VIEBEWA!
With thanks and regards
