[AI] Hindustan Times Editorial: "With not even one per cent being disabled-friendly, colleges are difficult to access for many"
It is a testimony to how far we are from realising the dream of smart cities that not even 1% of India’s 789 universities, 37,204 colleges and 11,443 stand-alone higher education institutions are disabled-friendly. This startling statistic was revealed by a forum for disabled students. Since 1995, when the government made it mandatory for educational institutions receiving aid from the State to reserve 4% seats for people with disability, there has been little improvement in the situation. Despite the enactment of the Right to Education Act in 2009, which promised free and compulsory primary education to every child in the country, less than 0.1% of India’s 2.68 crore people with disabilities are enrolled in schools. As they move from primary to secondary and higher education, the figure drops to a dismal .01%. The dearth of infrastructure that facilitates access for the physically challenged — ramps, railings and accessible wash rooms – is just one of the reasons which prevent them from pursuing their studies. There is the absence of trained staff and alternative teaching aides. In order to compete with their peers, the partially sighted, for instance, need specialised books and material in Braille. Those are seldom provided. In the last decade, since the non-profit Samarthyam’s Centre for Accessible Environments began conducting access audits for educational institutions, co-founder Anjlee Agarwal doesn’t recall coming across even one college that can be termed disabled-friendly. Despite the laws having acquired more teeth to deal with this issue, our planners and builders remain apathetic. The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill passed in 2016 sets the government a two-year deadline to ensure that those with disability get barrier-free access in infrastructure and transport systems. Additionally, it holds the private sector — builders and developers — accountable for creating an accessible environment. This, experts say, is a departure from the 1995 act which was largely toothless. The punitive action for non-compliance can be a five-year prison term. So, in accordance with National Building Code announced in 2016, any new school and college being planned has to be 100 per cent accessible. Since building by-laws are a state subject, implementation across the country is uneven. The few exceptions to this appear to be government-led initiatives in Odisha, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. Still, putting up a ramp here and a disabled-friendly toilet there doesn’t really turn things around. One measure of a civilised society should be the sensitivity it displays towards the disabled. If a chunk of the 2.68 crore physically challenged people in the country cannot board a train, watch a movie or operate an ATM owing to lack of access, and if we make it difficult for many of them to attend college, all the talk of a demographic dividend amounts to little. http://www.hindustantimes.com/editorials/with-not-even-one-per-cent-being-disabled-friendly-colleges-are-difficult-to-access-for-many/story-zfemcOhIWQhxiAVT1YNwWK.html -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU The list has now migrated to www.accessindia.inclusivehabitat.in You should now post to the id: a...@accessindia.inclusivehabitat.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.

[AI] here comes the most awaited feature from uber: Uber launches mobile web version in India, pilots offline search, call to get a ride and more
read on for more details: Uber today at its ‘Building for India’ event launched m.uber.com, a light mobile web version. It also piloted new app features – offline search, request for a guest and call to book a ride, ahead of roll out. m.uber.com is targeted at riders who have basic smartphones, that can support web browsing but cannot support mobile apps due to limited storage space, or want to book a ride from a tablet or computer. It is almost identical to the Uber app with a few modifications for improved performance on a browser, including the option to load the map. Similar to the app, m.uber.com will have option sign into your Uber account, enter your destination and confirm your ride. The feature is already live in India starting today. Uber Call to get a ride Call to get a ride will also be useful for feature phone users and in areas with limited network or those who use a smartphone but have limited memory capacity or are running out of their data plan. How it works: list of 3 items • Riders can call single nationwide phone number and enter a numeric code displayed on signage to help Uber identify their location. • Once the ride is confirmed, the rider will also be sent a text message with information on the car and driver partner. • An Uber will arrive at the exact location for easy pickups. list end Uber is currently piloting call to get a ride feature in Pune. For riders using the app in limited network areas there is a new offline search option by caching the top points of interest in the city so that riders can enter their destinations in the app without having to wait for the connection. This will automatically work if the app detects limited networks. Request for a Guest will allow riders be book an Uber for a loved one from from their Uber app no matter where the rider or guest is located. The guest does not need a smartphone or the Uber app in order to ride. How it works: list of 4 items • To use this feature, the person requesting the ride for a guest can simply tap “Where to?” as they normally would, then choose who is riding above their pickup location. • The rider will receive trip information in an SMS text message — including ETA, car type, and driver contact information, enabling them to coordinate with the driver directly. • The driver will see the rider’s name, and be able to contact that person, too (through a masked number, for privacy on both sides). • The ride will be charged to the requestor’s card on file unless the requestor selects cash as the payment. list end Both these features will roll out in the next few weeks. At the event, Daniel Graf, Vice President and Head of Product at Uber said: block quote In India, we have a strong team of over 150 engineers and product champions in Bangalore and at the newly inaugurated Hyderabad engineering facility working on innovations and localizations for markets around the world. As a part of our efforts to enable global access to Uber, we’re focusing on two key areas for riders – building solutions for those who don’t have access to the Uber app and enabling our existing rider app to work better in emerging markets. Customer obsession is a key theme for us – we want to make sure we understand the rider, their needs, the barriers, and then build from there. We believe these features will help us better serve our rider needs and are very excited about the roll out. -- Managing Director|Blossoms Global|India|.
