Re: [AI] how to install nvda addons

2015-03-15 Thread Bhavya shah
Hi,
There is something you need to do about renaming the file format of
the downloaded add-on files from zip to .nvda-addon or something like
that.
I am unaware of the exact details, but just one piece of information,
if you were unaware about it.
There is an official NVDA Add-ons site at addons.nvda-project.org
where all add-ons can be readily used after download, are stable,
reviewed and approved by the official NVDA add-ons community. There
may be security risks in downloading add-ons from third party sources,
therefore it is recommended to download add-ons only from trusted
sources (like the NVDA Add-ons website).
Again, its link is addons.nvda-project.org
Thanks.

Re: [AI] how to install nvda addons

2015-03-15 Thread Ashik
Not something like that. Exactly that. If you rename the file with the 
extension given by Bhavya Shah, the file will surely be installed. It's my 
experience that, if you upload the files with .nvda-addon, it reaches the 
recipient with the extension .zip. I don't know why and how. But it so 
happens. So, the only solution is to rename it with the extension 
.nvda-addon. Thereafter, it works properly. There is no problem then.

Re: [AI] Loans to differently abled persons will be treated as priority sector - The Economic Times

2015-03-15 Thread Ekinath Khedekar
Dear Rahul and Hemanshu,

Thanks for the additional info provided. How should this policy be
implemented? I mean:
1.  It would be applicable retrospectively?
I am paying home loan EMIs since April 2014. Can I request my bank,
Bank of Baroda to implement this policy and adjust my cost of loan
(interest paid) so far?
2.  If not, then are they at least liable to reduce interest rate
hereon and therefore reduce my EMIs from this month?
3.  What is the best way to effect this. Should I speak to the branch
managers who are usually not well-informed on new policies or it is
better to have top-bottom approach. Should I write to the MD BoB
directly?

Regards, with thanks...

 Hi, sharing my assumption, though not concrete one, as it is difficult

 1.  Does it mean it will have financial impact on the disabled

 ans: Most probably! as loans to weeker section do attract subsidy from
 central gov. from time to time, but rest assured that it will not be
 higher than bank rates of different banks even without subsidy...

 2.  Will the limit be only Rs. 50,000 ?
 ans: up to 50,000 will be subsidized and beyond that may be free for
 bank to charge as per their internal policy...

 3.  Will it include home loans, car loansk, personal loans etc. I mean

 Loans to differently abled persons will be treated as priority
 sectorBy ET Bureau | 13 Mar, 2015, 04.40PM IST
 KOLKATA: Bank loans to differently abled persons will be treated as
 weaker section loans within the priority sector ambit, Reserve Bank of
 India said Friday.
  This provision is effective from today.
  It has been decided that priority sector loans to persons with
 disabilities will be eligible for classification under weaker sections
 category, RBI said in a note to commercial banks excluding regional
 rural banks.
  RBI guidelines stipulate banks to lend 10% of adjusted net bank
 credit or credit equivalent amount of their off-balance sheet
 exposure, whichever is higher, to the weaker section.
  This is a sub-target within the 40% priority sector norms for banks.
 Foreign banks with less than 20 branches are exempted from complying
 with this sub-target.
  Lending to small and marginal farmers, artisans, village and cottage
 industries where individual credit limits do not exceed Rs 50,000,
 scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and self help groups are also
 considered as weaker section loans.

[AI] 2 Better Than 1? Being A Scribe For A Visually Impaired - Akanksha Mittal.

2015-03-15 Thread bala9119
They say experience is the best teacher. And two experiences then are
better teachers, I guess. So here are two such experiences that gave
me two entirely different perspectives, yet zeroing down to perhaps
just one conclusion. The Staff Selection Commission conducts
examinations for graduates and post graduates for various government
posts, apart from UPSC and DSSSB. Examinations for the posts that can
be taken up by Visually Impaired Students have the provision of
Scribes to make the examination smooth and accessible to the students.
Keeping aside the whole debatable concept of posts that can be taken
up by the Visually Impaired, here I am going to discuss two such
instances when I became a Scribe for a few Visually Impaired persons
appearing for the SSC Examinations.



During my first attempt at writing the paper for a visually impaired
person, I went through three hours of emotional blackmailing by the
candidate trying to cajole me into filling up the answers for him
through my knowledge. I was caught in an ugly position where in the
name of philanthropy I was actually cheating with the consent of the
system! There are mathematical questions that a student with visual
impairment has to answer which perhaps cannot be solved without using
aids such as an Abacus or a Calculator. Having been accustomed to
using the Abacus, two of the candidates I wrote the exam for found it
difficult to calculate on their fingertips.

Further, repeating the questions thrice and asking them to repeat
their choice of answers umpteen times leads to wasteful use of time.
In that sense, even the provision of extra time of 20-40 minutes for
the visually impaired students is sometimes not enough and sometimes
not legitimate. If the scribe is honestly not doing the candidate's
paper then the former applies and if the scribe is helping the
candidate with his answers then the latter.

To err is human. And having to bear the brunt of someone else's
mistake in something that perhaps decides your mode of earning a
livelihood is exploitative. The visually impaired student places a lot
of trust in the scribe who is marking his/her answers and is perhaps
never going to be able to find out what went wrong if his scribes just
could not answer the same way the candidate wants him/her to. Who is
to blame?

The second experience pointed to the inefficiency of the examination
system further. The scribes are paid a remuneration of Rs. 500 by the
Government for being present at the examination centre during all the
shifts in which the exams are conducted on a single day. Whether a
scribe actually writes an exam for a candidate or not is not the
concern. So technically, you can just plan a get together with your
friends one pleasant Sunday afternoon, decide to mark your attendance
as a scribe during the morning and afternoon sessions and get paid for
just two signatures and catching up with your friends. And that is
exactly what I saw a group of people doing there who were selected as
scribes without any preliminary screening apart from meeting the
minimum requirement of being a class 12 graduate.

What happens on rainy days when the candidates do not appear for the
examination but the scribes do? The government pays a handsome amount
to people for no work done by them. One such rainy day was the second
time I decided to write the examination for a visually impaired, when
most candidates missed their exam owing to the rain.

There is no denying that the government spends money in trying to make
the exams more accessible to candidates with special needs. How much
of this expenditure actually benefits them is the question. It would
perhaps do some good if the government spent the same amount of money
in providing the candidates with computers that would read out the
question papers to the candidates who can then mark the answers with
their own hand. Various countries like Spain actually use such an
approach towards examinations.

Providing reservations to candidates with special needs is not the
solution. Giving them equal opportunity to perform to the best of
their capability is what is needed. In the words of an invigilator at
the SSC examination, Getting jobs through the 3% reservation for
people with disabilities might succeed at giving them a livelihood,
but they are sometimes more a liability to the government offices than
assets.

There is no denying that every person has the capability to perform
like any other. All that we need is an equal opportunity to do that,
which the current examination structure does not succeed in providing.
Directing the expenditure towards the development of better
infrastructure would perhaps be a more intelligent choice than just
spending it because you believe you have so much of it!
