You are right. Sadly it was held for targetted delegates/students. I would have loved to inform the list earlier but myself got to know at the 11th hour. Majority of them came, had sumptuous food at 4Star Hotel and flew back to their respective places. Aah, I also went there but not as a technologist but as a student/researcher/observer. We posed questions, and government representatives as usuals ran away from responding hard questions. For example, to one of my questions, MS Stuti Kakkar did not find any link between Disability certification and employment. But she and her department is well-aware that NGOs have their own stake and could be made silent and convinced by connivance, but students specially from JNU/DU will always ask questions which are of serious nature and of greater concern. NGOs displayed their products and provided justification for their better marketability. Big players known in the accessible technology arena in the disability sector, lamented the fact that why persons with disabilities do not wish to buy products and want technologies reach them 'free of cost'? They advocated for business model which would drive innovation. Technology was discussed, its inaccessibility and way forward was deliberated upon. Apart from galaxy of technology experts, IITs' professors and NGO representatives , Two responsible personalities from the government spoke on the occasion, RCI Chairperson and Secretary Department of Disability Affairs. It was first innitiative taken by UNESCO perhaps and they will be bringing recommendations emerged out of the conference in print/electronic soon. Remember next big 'brainstorming' will be at India International Centre in Late November.
