[AI] Daily Eyeway Alerts

Dear Listers:

Greetings from the Eyeway Helpdesk!

Follow below the Daily Eyeway Alerts:

1. News-

India's ace-blind cricketer Bhalaji Damor's apathetic condition is just a
reflection of how insensitive the Gujarat bureaucracy is towards the
visually impaired. Gujarat today is the only state which restricts
completely visually impaired from government jobs via its own February 2013
government notification of the education department.  Rajesh Mulwani, for
instance, who is totally blind, is today the principal of District
Institute of Education and Training (DIET) in Amreli district. Not because
the government selected him under reservation, but he had to fight against
the government in the Gujarat high court, which ruled in his favour in
January 2013, and ensured that Mulwani was deemed fit for the principal's
post.  More at
http://www.eyeway.org/?q=state-has-blind-spot-visually-impaired


Lottery Dept Directed to Issue Tickets in Different Colours, Style. The
Kerala State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) has directed the Lottery
Department to issue tickets in different colours and style every week. SHRC
member K Mohan Kumar, who considered the petition filed by lottery agent K
R Harikumar, a blind person hailing from Kannur, said that the move is
intended to help the visually challenged lottery vendors. More at

Mailing lists do not have time bar. If I do not wish to receive mails at a
particular times, I have many available options. I can stop data connection.
I can opt for bundle mails from the desired list. I can change the setting
of my phone so that the mail downloads would occur at a particular time. But
members cannot be time-barred from posting to the list as long as the list
continues.

Dear Moderator,
sorry, but couldn't restrain myself...
I believe that this mail is not just an expression of opinion rather
assault On a genuine effort of Avinash!
Avinash's contribution is wonderful in my opinion...
Such assaults do discourage genuine people from contributing to the
community.
This mail is indicative  of conservative and sick mentality of individuals
who just write for the sake of maligning others out of their grave
frustration... and they have nothing to contribute to the community...
This reminds me the incidents happened  few month back when Satguru was
similarily targeted by another member without any reason...
So I request you to take similar action against this member as well.

 I'm sorry to say, posting informations are ok to this group. But at 
 the

 and over and over will really make us bored of looking at the body

I'm
 just posting my own opinion. Share your ideas and share your 
 informations, nothing wrong in that. But please keep on track also 
 with your life. It seems some of the members are busy concentrating 
 only on posting to access india. I have noticed some of the members 
 who they are posting even by 12
am
 and even by 1 am. I'm not sure what type of work they do and how they 
 are leading their life other than this access india.

 I'm sorry if posting my opinion is wrong. I said how I feel. If you 
 still want to live only on access indian world, keep it up. I don't mind.

Re: [AI] DTH entertainment services!

2015-07-13 Thread Zoher


I think the matter should be taken to the information and broadcast 
ministry. As set top box is made compulsory they can force the DTH provider 
to provide talking set top box on demand. 1 more provision can be made that 
like gsm sim card we should be able to install any digicard in the set top 
box of our choice.


I agree with Jorge sir, the digitization has put new challenges to VI 
community not only in DTH Matter but also in other areas of life.


Still Prashant Sir and group of peoples struggle for Talking ATM is not 
over, we are facing the problem of inaccessible money deposit machines.


Many of newly constructed buildings has the lift which has touch pad.

New models of of ovens and washing machines has touch pad or even those does 
not have the touch pad and has physical keys they are not embossed.


It makes me think that was analog time was better for VI community?

Technically this is possible only when the settop box has built-in TTS.
Service providers are now a days selling boxes of diferent types e.g. with
HD quality, with recording etc.
All they have to do is to introduce the set-top box developed in UK with
RNIB as one of the options.
If the set-top boxes were interchangeable  between operators then also we
can just buy such a box from outside india and use in our homes.

Dear George Sir,

Great point you have shared! I would like to share a suggestion. With the
growing demand for the DTH services, the remote controls can have a couple
of extra buttons on it which would be integrated with the whole system. 
One

button can be used to switch over the interactive voice and the other
button
can help us in repeating the highlighted message. Rest all the buttons can
continue doing the existing functions.

This would be helpful not only for visually impaired persons, but it would
be of great help to the senior citizens of the country as well.

If convincing, I believe this matter must be escalated to the highest
level.

Hi Folks,



I use Tata Ski at home. With each new set top box, I have been finding
it more and more difficult to navigate the menus. Not sure if the Tata
Ski promoters consider us blind people as stakeholders.  When I
started with Tata Ski, I could get to the channels I wanted easily
thanks to the favourite feature. Sadly, with technological advancement
and the more sophisticated the digitisation has become, the more
difficult it has become to navigate. What is the state with other DTH

services?




Given the nation's rush towards digitisation, I am not sure how great
it is going to be for us. On the one hand digital India holds great
promise for us, but if the digitisation process does not consider us
as stakeholders, then we are in for deep trouble.

you can use the softwares offered either  by boilsoft or dvdvideosoft.
their software interface seems to be very much accessible with jaws.

alternatively, you can also explore the options under window movie maker.
hope it is of some use.

 Dear Moderator,
 sorry, but couldn't restrain myself...
 I believe that this mail is not just an expression of opinion rather
 assault On a genuine effort of Avinash!
 Avinash's contribution is wonderful in my opinion...
 Such assaults do discourage genuine people from contributing to the
 community.
 This mail is indicative  of conservative and sick mentality of
 individuals who just write for the sake of maligning others out of
 their grave frustration... and they have nothing to contribute to the

 This reminds me the incidents happened  few month back when Satguru

Have you understood what I said? Here it is again. I said, it seems there are

asked, whether do they take care of their life? other than posting here to this

I'm also aware of the options to block emails or to skip emails from the group 
or even from a particular person. I was not asking the way for doing that sir. 
Please understand what i said and what I'm trying to say.

[AI] 'autocratic leadership style of chair Javed Abidi': Disabled People International Acts!

2015-07-13 Thread avinash shahi
Very unfortunate. However I'm not at all surprised. I still remember
that during the protest against ill-conceived RPD Bill 2014, when we
young blind girl and boys were incessantly lathi-charged,  the DPI
chair and India's DRG convener in question employed dishonest means to
outclass our efforts. He used all his conections with Congress
Matriarch to see RPD Bill passed in the last session of the UPA II
government. Thanks god it was averted courtesy collective action
undertaken by disabled people across the country.  If everything had
gone as he conceptualized and pushed for, the entire credit could have
gone to him and he would have become Lodestar from India. As is the
case with the PWD Act 1995 where many who worked with him or have been
patronized, have argued that it all began from him.  This action by
the DPI should serve lessons for all self-proclaimed NGO leaders to
respect democracy and the power of collective voice. Likewise, the
ordinary disabled people whose lives are mortgaged by few NGOs need to
be alert and attentive. Note: again this should not be construed as
NGO bashing, these are observations of a disabled researcher which
should be braught in the public.

 Technically this is possible only when the settop box has built-in TTS.
 Service providers are now a days selling boxes of diferent types e.g.

 HD quality, with recording etc.
 All they have to do is to introduce the set-top box developed in UK with
 RNIB as one of the options.
 If the set-top boxes were interchangeable  between operators then also
 we
 can just buy such a box from outside india and use in our homes.

 Dear George Sir,

 Great point you have shared! I would like to share a suggestion. With
 the
 growing demand for the DTH services, the remote controls can have a
 couple
 of extra buttons on it which would be integrated with the whole system.
 One
 button can be used to switch over the interactive voice and the other
 button
 can help us in repeating the highlighted message. Rest all the buttons
 can
 continue doing the existing functions.

 This would be helpful not only for visually impaired persons, but it
 would
 be of great help to the senior citizens of the country as well.

 If convincing, I believe this matter must be escalated to the highest
 level.

 Hi Folks,



 I use Tata Ski at home. With each new set top box, I have been finding
 it more and more difficult to navigate the menus. Not sure if the Tata
 Ski promoters consider us blind people as stakeholders.  When I
 started with Tata Ski, I could get to the channels I wanted easily
 thanks to the favourite feature. Sadly, with technological advancement
 and the more sophisticated the digitisation has become, the more
 difficult it has become to navigate. What is the state with other DTH
 services?



 Given the nation's rush towards digitisation, I am not sure how great
 it is going to be for us. On the one hand digital India holds great
 promise for us, but if the digitisation process does not consider us
 as stakeholders, then we are in for deep trouble.

[AI] Kerala HC extends helping hand

2015-07-13 Thread Sruti disAbility Rights Centre
http://www.livelaw.in/kerala-hc-extends-a-helping-hand-to-a-visually-challenged-woman-to-become-a-law-lecturer/

Kerala High Court in *Prasanna Kumari E.S. v. The Registrar, Kannur
University and Ors. *has ruled in favor of the 40 year old visually
impaired lady advocate, who was denied the post of a lecturer by Kannur
University.

Justice A.K. Jayasankaran Nambiar ordered Kannur University to consider the
suitability of Mr. Prasanna Kumari “for the post notified by treating her
as a candidate who has the necessary age qualification for the post and is
otherwise eligible for the post.”

The court also ordered the university to complete the aforesaid exercise
within two months.

Ms. Prasanna Kumari
http://www.livelaw.in/visually-challenged-woman-before-the-high-court-of-kerala-challenging-the-alleged-denial-of-benefit-of-age-relaxation-to-her-by-kannur-university/
is a visually impaired person with 100% disability as certified by a
Medical Board. She acquired an LLB Degree followed by a Post Graduate
Degree (LLM) and also obtained the National Eligibility Test [NET]
qualification that is mandated by the University Grants Commission for
appointment as Lecturers.

In the year 2008, the petitioner responded to notification dated 29.1.2008
issued by the Kannur University inviting applications for the post of
Lecturer in Law. In the said notification, one post of Lecturer in the
Department of Law was notified, and was reserved for physically handicapped
persons. The notification made it clear that if there were no eligible
candidates from the category for which the post was reserved, candidates
belonging to other eligible categories including open category would be
considered strictly as per the norms stipulated in the Kerala State 
Subordinate Services Rules, 1958.

During the interview, a question was raised with regard to her age. She
clarified that by virtue of the Government order dated 25.5.1984 issued by
the State Government, she was entitled to the benefit of age relaxation as
contemplated for physically handicapped candidates.

The University however, appointed a candidate from the open category to the
post, without any further communication with the petitioner.

The question to be considered by the Court was whether the Petitioner could
be disqualified for the post of Lecturer in Law on account of the fact that
she was aged 40 years and seven months as on 1.1.2008, the cut-off date
mentioned in the notification.

She had prayed that the appointment of the open category candidate to the
post of Lecturer in Law, called under the vacancy and reservation Quota for
Physically Handicapped, be declared illegal. She had further sought that
she be declared entitled to be appointed as a Lecturer in Law.

The University had contended that the State Rules providing for age
relaxation was adopted by the University after the job was notified.

The Court however observed that even though the university failed to adopt
the rules framed by the state government, it could still have gone by the
rules framed by the government in tune with the central legislation
governing the field, the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities,
Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act of 1995.

Allowing the petition, the court held that the *“action of the university
in not considering the suitability of the petitioner for the post of
lecturer in law, under the quota earmarked for the physically challenged
candidates, is clearly illegal.”*

The Court also directed the University to consider the case for retaining
the open category candidate who was erroneously appointed by the
University, if possible, against any other vacancy in a sanctioned post or
through the creation of a supernumerary post, if the rules of the
respondent University so permit.

Re: [AI] Disability Commissioner in Maharashtra: We are not ready with access audit of public buildings

2015-07-13 Thread Ketan Kothari
Dear Avinash,

It is truly worrysome indeed but frankly speaking I am more worried by
the lack of access requirements of the VI population across the board.
Mere putting
Braille signages all across or beepers at places our access needs
cannot be addressed.  There is lack of understanding as to where these
labels need to be put or beepers to be installed.  There alternatives
available of which there is complete absence of awareness.

Unfortunately, I would hold us (the VI community) as much guilty of
this negligence and ignorance as anyone else.

Having said all this, your comments about cause of concern is well
taken and must be acted upon sooner rather later.

With best wishes,

Ketan

Re: [AI] Gujarat: State has blind spot for visually impaired

2015-07-13 Thread Ketan Kothari
Dear Friends,

Somehow there is nothing shocking in all this:  our organizations need
to make more noise in this regard.  Gujarat is probly the only state
in the Indian union where there are several blind individuals who are
leading major organizations but unfortunately not enough noice is
being created by them.  What does this mean?  Are we not guilty of
commission and omission at the same time??

Unless we start self-advocacy, I don't see us reaching much further.

With best wishes,

Ketan

 I've been long maintaining that the  Gujarat government is not
 following the orders and to reiterate, this legacy is carried on from
 then CM and now PM Narendra Modi. Read below a report published in
 today's TOI detailing the ordeal of blind people in chronological
 order...
 http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/State-has-blind-spot-for-visually-impaired/articleshow/48047444.cms

  AHMEDABAD: India's ace-blind cricketer Bhalaji Damor's apathetic
 condition is just a reflection of how insensitive the Gujarat
 bureaucracy is towards the visually impaired. Gujarat today is the
 only state which restricts completely visually impaired from
 government jobs via its own February 2013 government notification of
 the education department.

 Rajesh Mulwani, for instance, who is totally blind, is today the
 principal of District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) in
 Amreli district. Not because the government selected him under
 reservation, but he had to fight against the government in the Gujarat
 high court, which ruled in his favour in January 2013, and ensured
 that Mulwani was deemed fit for the principal's post.

 Mulwani's struggle also inspired 14 other completely visually impaired
 students seeking primary teacher jobs last year to move the HC against
 the government against the 2010 resolution. There have been two HC
 rulings against the government on the issue of not recruiting 100 per
 cent blind teachers but the government still refuses to withdraw the
 notification, says Mulwani. Ironically, there are more than 250
 totally blind teachers, recruited in government primary schools of the
 state.

 Bushan Punani, executive secretary of the Blind People's Association
 (BPA) says, The 2013 resolution is against section 32 of Persons with
 Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full
 Participation) Act, 1995. This notification in turn fixes criteria for
 recruitment for visually impaired as people with more than 40% but
 less than 75% vision for teachers job.

 In another case Ravi Segliya, 32, was among 31 totally blind primary
 school teachers who had to knock on the high court's door to figure in
 the list of 23,500 primary school teachers recruited between July 5,
 2010 and September 5, 2011. The PIL was filed by a blind candidate
 Kaushik Akabari.

 The 2013 notification reserves just 1.5% jobs for people with low
 vision and not completed blind candidates says Segliya. He adds,
 After the high court ruled in our favour in 2011 we had to file a
 contempt application in 2012 so that government acts on the court's
 order , says Segliya.

Re: [AI] DTH entertainment services!

2015-07-13 Thread Prashant Verma
Technically this is possible only when the settop box has built-in TTS.
Service providers are now a days selling boxes of diferent types e.g. with
HD quality, with recording etc. 
All they have to do is to introduce the set-top box developed in UK with
RNIB as one of the options. 
If the set-top boxes were interchangeable  between operators then also we
can just buy such a box from outside india and use in our homes.

Dear George Sir,

Great point you have shared! I would like to share a suggestion. With the
growing demand for the DTH services, the remote controls can have a couple
of extra buttons on it which would be integrated with the whole system. One
button can be used to switch over the interactive voice and the other button
can help us in repeating the highlighted message. Rest all the buttons can
continue doing the existing functions.

This would be helpful not only for visually impaired persons, but it would
be of great help to the senior citizens of the country as well.

If convincing, I believe this matter must be escalated to the highest level.
