[AI] Jodhpur: The blind have a ball, overcome hurdles in cricket tourney

[avinash shahi]

They bowl, bat and even take catches in cricket ground. Partial or
total loss of vision was never a hurdle for these special cricketers
participating in the Louis Braille National Blind Cricket competition
here.
http://www.hindustantimes.com/jaipur/rajasthan-the-blind-have-a-ball-overcome-hurdles-in-cricket-tourney/story-o5hYvKS2liIS6PmN6iLQHI.html























Eight teams from four national zones are participating in the event.

Rajasthan’s Rajendra Verma has participated twice in the Blind Cricket
World Cup. Verma lost his vision at the tender age of five due to
typhoid. Besides playing cricket, he is employed as a government
teacher.

Delhi vice-captain Irfan Khan regrets that they receive ‘step
brotherly’ treatment by the government despite playing World Cup like
their regular counterparts. “We have never received enough
encouragement despite winning glory for the country,” he said.

In 2014, India had defeated Pakistan in the final match of the Blind
World Cup Cricket tournament. Prior to this, India trounced Pakistan
in the first T20 Blind Cricket World Cup in 2012.

ML Misra, former coach of the Indian blind cricket team, claims he was
struck by concentration of some visually-challenged children who
eagerly followed cricket action via commentary during a practice
match. This, he claims, helped him to partner a specialised unit to
come out with a new cricket ball for the blind.

[AI] A Few Queries: Please Answer If You Have The Relevant Information

[Saaqib Mahmuud]

Hello everyone at the AccessIndia mailing list. 

I have the following queries--- some general and some blindness-related: 

Are there any solar-powered room heaters, air conditioners, ceiling fans, 
refrigerators, or any others of the common home appliances? If so, which items? 
And, who are the international manufacturers of these items? 

Where on the Internet can I download the Bharati Urdu braille code in PDF 
format? 

Is there any individual or organisation in India who can donate braille books 
in the Urdu language? 

Is there any website from India which offers audio books --- in Hindi, Urdu, 
Punjabi, or English --- for free download? 

Last but not the least, how good is the latest version of JAWS for accessing 
mathematical content --- either in PDF documents or on the Internet? 

Regards. 

Saakib

*THE FUSION TEAM from Silver Linings! 3rd January 2016!*

FUSION a face to face social networking platform for people with and
without disabilities! 3rd January 2016, witnessed the 16th meet of Fusion!
Fusion was launched on 10th November 2013 at the India International Center
New Delhi! There were 43 people present, and for the first time, the number
of people without disabilities was much higher than of people with
disabilities! Silver Linings and Billionables jointly are working towards
launching Dream Holiday for people with and people without disabilities;
and requested the group to share with us their expectations, requirements
and their inhibitions for taking a holiday and travelling with us! A picnic
is being organized by Ms. Neha and Mr. Sameer assisted by Mr. Gaurav from
Indigo for Fusion members. In addition, on 7th February Sunday, Mr.
Ramakrishna has proposed a visit to the Rahaagiri at CP! Mr. Prashant
Kapoor, one of our very dear and most talented Fusion members, gave an
amazing and brilliant Tabla recital! Once again we had members speak
extempore for one minute on topics given to them by Ms. Aditi. A number of

[AI] FYI: Facebook in India: Mark Zuckerberg’s internet-access programme hits a roadblock

[avinash shahi]

Sorry, I’m just talking to my Facebook friends
“WHO could possibly be against this?”, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s
boss, asked in an editorial in the Times of India on December 28th.
The “this” in question is “Free Basics”, a programme that gives its
users free access to Facebook and a handful of other online services
on their smartphones in 36 poor countries. According to Mr Zuckerberg,
Free Basics acts as a gateway drug to the internet: half of those who
first experience going online through the service start paying for
full internet access within a month. Though the programme is promoted
by Facebook, its costs are borne by the mobile-telecoms operators it
works with—in the case of India, Reliance Communications, the
country’s fourth-largest.
http://www.economist.com/news/business-and-finance/21685292-critics-argue-mark-zuckerbergs-generosity-cover-landgrab-facebooks-free-internet
As it turns out, plenty of people are against Free Basics. They
include everyone from India’s internet-and-mobile-industry body (of
which Facebook is itself a member) to a ragtag group of volunteer
activists who mustered almost 400,000 people to write to the Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) as part of a public consultation
on whether mobile operators should be allowed to charge different
amounts for different forms of data. At stake is one of the world’s
largest and fastest-growing internet markets outside China, which bars
foreign digital services such as Facebook from entering. Around a
quarter of the Indian population—or 300m people—were online at the end
of 2014, and the number is expected to double by 2020.

ity is cover for a landgrab. They argue that Free Basics is a walled
garden of Facebook-approved content, that it breaches consumer privacy
by sucking up all the data generated by users of the service, and that
it is anticompetitive to boot. Moreover, critics fear that if new
internet users are merely Facebook users, other online businesses will
have no choice but to operate within Facebook’s world. Nandan
Nilekani, an Indian tech luminary opposed to Free Basics, suggests
that, instead, the government subsidise a monthly allowance of free
mobile data for each user.

Facebook counters that the programme is open to all-comers that meet
certain technical requirements, that user data are stored for only 90
days, and that there is no profit motive: the service does not include
advertising. As for suppressing local competition, Facebook argues,
“there is no greater threat to local innovation than leaving people
offline.” If, as Mr Zuckerberg says, Free Basics users quickly
graduate to paying for full internet service, India’s ferociously
competitive mobile operators should provide it cheaply. And if Free
Basics proved popular there would be little to stop India’s big media
and e-commerce groups from creating rival services to attract new
surfers to their web offerings.

Over the past few weeks, Facebook has run an extensive campaign with
full-page ads in Indian newspapers touting Free Basics. Newspapers,
blogs and television channels have presented arguments and
counterarguments every day. Even All India Bakchod, a popular comedy
collective, got into the act. The group’s video arguing against Free
Basics has been watched 800,000 times on YouTube—and another 350,000
on Facebook itself.

Activists in India won early victories in 2015, leading Facebook to
change the name of its service from internet.org, which they said was
misleading, and forcing the company to accept more services than those
it handpicks. In December the TRAI suspended Free Basics in India
pending the results of its consultation. The TRAI has received 1.4m
notes of support for Free Basics as part of this process, driven
largely by an automated response tool Facebook used to gather support
from its Indian users. But the regulator says it may have to disregard
them, since they do not answer the question it is asking. The TRAI
itself will deliver its verdict at the end of this month.

[AI] The Economist: The driverless, car-sharing road ahead

[avinash shahi]

THE whizzy gadgets for geeks to goggle at during CES, an annual
consumer-electronics show in Las Vegas, have typically been small
enough to pick up. But they been joined in recent years by an
increasing number of cars. The Detroit motor show, America’s biggest
and glitziest, starts later this month, but many in the car industry
now regard CES, which opened on January 5th, as a more important
event. Mary Barra, GM’s boss, unveiled a new production version of its
Bolt electric car at Las Vegas this week.
http://www.economist.com/news/business/21685459-carmakers-increasingly-fret-their-industry-brink-huge-disruption
Incumbent manufacturers are recognising the double threat posed by
technology, as car-sharing takes off and driverless vehicles come
closer. First, some people who might hitherto have wanted to own a car
may no longer do so, cancelling out the growth the motor industry
might otherwise have expected from the rising middle classes in
developing countries (see chart). Second, technology firms may be
better placed than carmakers to develop and profit from the software
that will underpin both automated driving and vehicle-sharing. Some of
these firms may even manufacture cars of their own.

In a report ahead of the Las Vegas and Detroit shows, Morgan Stanley,
an investment bank, said the motor industry was being disrupted “far
sooner, faster and more powerfully than one might expect.” It
predicted that conventional carmakers would scramble in the coming
year to reinvent themselves. As if to demonstrate this, shortly before
CES opened, GM announced a $500m investment in Lyft, a ride-sharing
service.

A rumoured tie-up between Ford and Google to produce driverless cars
failed to materialise at the show, but even the rumours underlined the
disruption that tech firms are bringing to the motor industry. And
other partnerships were announced: Ford is teaming up with Amazon to
connect its cars to sensor-laden smart homes. It was also revealed at
CES that Toyota would adopt Ford’s in-car technology, which is a
competitor to Apple’s CarPlay and Google’s Android Auto, to access
smartphone apps and other features.

That is not the only example of carmakers joining forces to avoid
being beholden to the tech giants. In August BMW, Daimler and
Volkswagen’s Audi division jointly bought Here, a mapping service,
from Nokia, to ensure that carmakers have an independent provider
rather than having to depend on Google Maps. Nevertheless, carmakers
are also teaming up with tech firms because each has something the
other needs. Building and marketing cars, and dealing with safety and
emissions regulators, is tricky. Tech firms could copy Tesla, which
has built its own electric cars for more than a decade. Apple, which
is said to be planning an electric car, may try to have them made in
the same way as it does its iPhones, outsourcing to a contract
manufacturer. But a more obvious route is to ally with an established
carmaker.

Carmakers also have lots to learn. Most are working on making their
vehicles either fully or partly self-piloting, and a number are
running their own car-sharing experiments. But Google remains the
leading exponent of autonomous driving. Its robotics, drones and
search engine all contribute expertise that helps to guide a
driverless car down the road avoiding pedestrians, obstacles and other
vehicles, using computing power and sophisticated software to
interpret masses of data received both from the car’s on-board sensors
and from external sources through wireless connections.

Yet if the tech firms have much to gain as they muscle in to the motor
business, the carmakers are wary of what they have to lose. Profits
may seep away towards the producers of the software and the owners of
the data, and away from the makers of the hardware. Hitherto, new
cars—even quite modest ones—have tended to be bought as status symbols
and expressions of personal style, but if consumers become more
interested in what software and entertainment systems a car can run,
rather than what it looks like, the industry’s whole business model
may come apart.

Ride-sharing, car clubs and other alternatives to ownership are
already growing fast. Young city-dwellers are turning their backs on
owning a costly asset that sits largely unused and loses value the
moment it is first driven. Carmakers insist that such consumers are
merely deferring buying a vehicle, pointing to the fact that people
continue to drive at an older age than they used to. But the
pronouncements of motor-industry bosses suggest that doubts are
creeping in. At CES Mark Fields, Ford’s CEO, said that it would in
future be “both a product and mobility company”.

Membership of car clubs, which let people book by app for periods as
short as 15 minutes, is growing by over 30% a year, according to Alix
Partners, a consulting firm, and should hit 26m members worldwide by
2020. Competition is intense. ZipCar, owned by Avis Budget, a
conventional car-hire firm, is thriving

[AI] Faridkot Punjab: Physically challenged left to fend for themselves

[avinash shahi]

http://www.hindustantimes.com/punjab/physically-challenged-left-to-fend-for-themselves/story-Ajw0DzeUoHmQHxrjVNksCN.html
The government is playing a cruel joke on the physically challenged
persons who are still getting Rs 250 as a monthly financial assistance
for the last many years, while the costs of the all the commodities of
daily use have increased many folds, making their survival on this
paltry amount difficult.

The government started paying Rs 100 per month to the physically
challenged persons in 1995 and over 20 years, it has been increased to
just Rs 250.

‘Rs 250 per month pension too less’

“We are only receiving Rs 250 per month as financial assistance and it
is too less to live on. On daily basis, we are getting about Rs 8 per
day. One can buy only a cup of tea for the whole day with this amount.
For existence, one needs clothes, ration for daily food and also
medical treatment at times. The government should provide us at least
Rs 1,500 per month,” says Basant Singh, a resident of Devi Wala
village of Faridkot district, who has almost 100 per cent physical
inability as both of his legs were left badly crippled by the polio in
childhood.

His father is a daily wager and Basant, too, has to depend upon his
parents to lead his life. He can neither walk nor do any other
physical activity except pedalling the tri-cycle.

Basant Singh is not alone who is left to fend for himself. According
to Basant, there are at least three cases of handicapped persons in
Devi Wala village alone.

Naib Singh, 41, a resident of Khara village, who was left 50 percent
crippled by polio in his childhood, also leads the tough life.

‘Govt indifferent towards people like us’

“I had started getting Rs 100 in 1995 as handicapped pension and it
has only been increased to Rs 250 after 20 years. I did my
matriculation in 1995 and since then, have also appeared in 74
interviews. My wife is also physically challenged. But the government
has been totally indifferent towards the problems of the physically
challenged persons. I am bringing up my children by doing a private
job because, the quota for the physically challenged in government
jobs in only three per cent, while number of such persons seeking jobs
is more. We rather get humiliated at the government departments
instead of earning any sympathy,” says Naib Singh Khara, who has also
completed his class 12 in 2013.

“The pension for handicaps should be increased to Rs 1,500 per month
as one cannot think to lead a life with Rs 250 now,” he said.

“The government is totally indifferent towards the problem of the
physically challenged persons who have been getting such a small
amount for many years. Unfortunately, it has no increments like other
pensions and salaries. The government also tries to take political
mileage from such schemes. It should be above Rs 1,000 with timely
increase in the amount so that the handicapped persons can also keep
pace with the rising prices,” said Darshan Singh, former sarpanch of
Dhilwan Kalan village from Faridkot.

‘Many folds increase in salaries of legislatures, govt officials’

“There have been many folds increase in the salaries of our
legislatures and government officials with other facilities during
this period.

[AI] Once Again: SC shoots down Centre’s appeal against quota

[avinash shahi]

The Apex Court has again reprimanded the Central Government. These
bureaucrats are too stubborn to implement the 1995 Act's provision.
http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/reservation-for-differently-abled-sc-shoots-down-centres-appeal-against-quota/

More than a year after it asked the Centre to “show a big heart”, the
Supreme Court has shot down yet another attempt by the Centre to deny
the differently-abled three per cent reservation in promotional posts.

On Tuesday, a bench led by Chief Justice T S Thakur dismissed an
appeal filed by the government against a 2012 judgment by Punjab and
Haryana High Court and questioned the rationale behind challenging a
order belatedly.

In August 2012, the high court had directed the Centre to provide
three per cent reservation to physically challenged people in
appointment to public posts by way of direct recruitment as also in
promotional posts under the provisions of Persons with Disabilities
(Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation)
Act. But the special leave petition in the apex court was moved by the
central government only towards the end of 2015.

The bench remained unconvinced by the government’s argument as to why
the judgment required an interference.

Even as the government’s counsel tried to justify the delay in filing
the appeal, the top court retorted that there seemed to be no good
reason to sit over a judgment for more than three years. It declined
to admit the appeal for hearing or going into the merits of the case
and said in its order: “The special leave petition is dismissed on the
ground of delay.”

The high court order was issued on a PIL filed by NGO Youth Welfare
Association for Visually Handicapped & Disabled.

It was a fresh endeavour by the NDA government to revive the issue
pertaining to reservation for the differently-abled in promotional
posts. In September 2014, the SC had ruled in favour of the
reservation in civil services, not only at the appointment stage but
also for promotions.

Giving a level-playing field to more than four crore people with
disabilities in India, the court had held that the Centre, states and
Union Territories were obligated to implement the rules of reservation
for this class.

While asking the Centre to “show a big heart and give the
differently-abled people their due in all central and state government
jobs”, the court had expressed its displeasure at the government
seeking to adopt a hyper-technical approach that reservation could be
given only at the stage of appointment but not for promotion.

“Once Parliament prescribes for reservation in appointments, it will
cover direct recruitment, promotion and even deputation. Our
experience tells us that it is one legislation that has never been
effectively implemented… it is a beneficial legislation and you should
interpret in a manner so that they get the benefits,” the court had
then observed, as it dismissed the Centre’s appeal against a Bombay
High Court ruling.

The court, however, had not recorded detailed reasons and the Centre
appears now to keep coming back to court due to this shortcoming.
