[prateek aggarwal]

This is huge and a really commendable attempt. Heartiest
congratulations to BGFI as well as future group for this wonderful
gesture.
A brand like big bazaar getting accessible will surely remove lot of
hazards and shall make the lives of persons with disability so much
easier. Great to see that the companies have begun seeing disable
people as valued customers. This would inspire many others in future
to extend their products and services in accordance with the needs of
persons with disability.
Let's use the services extensively so that we can make this a success.
I'm looking forward to go in store and explore shopping independently.

Prateek agarwal.

Re: [AI] Scribe guidelines for NET exam

[Mohit Gupta]

16. For Persons with Disability (Visually Challenged candidates)
thirty minutes’ compensatory time shall be
provided separately for paper-I and Paper-II. For paper-III, forty
five minutes’ compensatory time shall be
provided. They will also be provided the services of a scribe who
would be a graduate in a subject other than
that of the candidate. Those Persons with Disability (Physically
Challenged) candidates who are not in a
position to write in their own hand-writing can also avail these
services by making prior request (at least one
week before the date of UGC-NET) in writing to the Co-ordinator of the
NET Coordinating Institution.
Compensatory time and facility of scribe would not be provided to
other Persons with Disability (Physically
Challenged) candidates.
The facility of Scribe is applicable only for candidates with
disability of 40% or more.
The candidate has the discretion of opting for his/her own scribe or
has to request the Co-ordinator of the
Coordinating Institution for the same in writing at least one week in
advance of the test. In such instances the
candidate is allowed to meet the scribe a day before the examination
so as to verify whether the scribe is
suitable or not. Those candidates who opt for their own scribe have to
produce the scribe before the Coordinator
along with her/his certificates of educational qualifications at least
one day before the test.
As per UGC’s instructions, the seating arrangements for persons with
disability (PWD) are to be made on the
ground floor, in an accessible building equipped with disabled
friendly toilets as far as possible. Separate
seating arrangements in an appropriate place should be made for the
scribe users in order to avoid disturbance.
