Do ve really need separate institute for higher education? Will it be helpful to make them indipendant? Couldn't understand why people trying to separate persons with disabilities from rest of the society. Can't we make our academic system inclusive and accessible for all?
We all should make the policy makers awared about best academic practises in world and prevent them taking such decision. There is already a university for persons withh disabilities in Chitrakut. I don't know about its benefits for students with disabilities. I nevered heard any achiever from this institute like Vivek Pachpande or any IAS officer.
