[AI] On Proposal to Amend the RCI Act

[National Platform For The Rights of the Disabled]

December 10, 2020


*Press Statement*


The National Platform for the Rights of the Disabled (NPRD) expresses its
serious concern at the proposed amendments to the Rehabilitation Council of
India Act (RCI Act). Enacted in 1992, the RCI is mandated, in the main, to
regulate and monitor the training of rehabilitation professionals.


If the purported aim is to harmonise the RCI in tune with the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPD Act), it would have been prudent  to
pass an alternate legislation, adopting a holistic approach to the myriad
issues including the functioning and administration of the RCI, rather than
make piecemeal amendments. It needs to be noted that the RCI has been
without a Chairperson for years together and complaints against its
functioning are galore.


What is more blatant is the stated objective of fine tuning it with the New
Education Policy 2020. Apart from other things, the proposal is to convert
the RCI into a “self-sustaining” body, within a period of four years. By
implication, budgetary support  to the RCI would be withdrawn and
institutions and professionals seeking registration with the RCI would have
to shell out more. Even otherwise, most of the RCI approved courses are run
in the non-governmental sector.


More problematic is the proposal to undermine the autonomous character of
the Council and make it an adjunct of the central government.


The NPRD is of the firm opinion that the government should, instead,
replace the RCI Act with a legislation that would not only be in harmony
with the provisions of the UNCRPD and the RPD Act but would also seek to
address the multitude of issues that currently plague the Council. While
retaining its autonomous nature, it has to be ensured that there is
accountability and the Council functions in a democratic and transparent
manner.


The NPRD demands that the government hold consultations with all
stakeholders and not proceed in haste.  The NPRD will, both independently
and collectively with other disability rights organisations, be sending
detailed submissions to the department’s proposals.

12/9/2020 Govt rolls out redressal system for people with physical
disabilities - Mumbai Mirror, 12/9/2020
https://epaper.timesgroup.com/Olive/ODN/MumbaiMirror/PrintArticle.aspx?doc=M
MIR%2F2020%2F12%2F09=ar00500=20201208235. 1/1 Govt rolls out
redressal system for people with physical disabilities The Excise
Commissioner's office in Mumbai and excise departments in other districts to
be nodal offices for complaints of violation of the Disabilities Act |
shruti.ganapa...@timesgroup.com TWEETS @Shruti_Mirror The Maharashtra
government has appointed the Excise Commissioner's office as the nodal
office where persons with physical disabilities can lodge complaints over
violation of their rights and services under the Disabilities Act 2016. At
the district level, the superintendent of the excise department would be the
person in charge. A government resolution (GR) to this effect was issued by
the Home Department on December 7. Despite the provision in the Act for a
grievance mechanism, the state government took four years to appoint the
authority. As per the GR, any person can lodge a complaint for violation of
rights under the Act or for not fulfilling its provisions. The GR further
states that the grievance redressal officer should act within 30 days of
receiving a complaint. A Home Department official said the cell is expected
to not only lodge complaints, but to also look into resolving them, conduct
hearings if required, and ensure that the case is disposed of. If the
aggrieved person is not satisfied with the action taken, she or he can
approach the district level committee for disabilities. As per section 23 of
the Disabilities Act, every government establishment must appoint a
grievance redressal officer for persons with physical disabilities. These
officers must maintain a register of complaints with the following
particulars: name of the complainant, address, complaint details,
documentary evidence, a thorough investigation of the matter and hearings,
if conducted. They must also communicate with the establishment over steps
taken to resolve the complaint. The Disabilities Act has a provision to look
after the welfare of physically disabled persons, including their education,
health support, equal opportunities at the workplace, social protection and
protection from abuse, violence and exploitation, access to justice, and
accessibility in voting. The Act also directs the government to launch
schemes for financial independence of physically challenged people through
skill development and easy loans. There should be cultural, recreational and
sporting activities for them, the Act states.

> Dear All,
> Greetings from Blind Graduates Forum of India (BGFI)!
> The advent of technology has made the transition to independence and to work
> life more accessible to individuals with visual impairments.
> Despite these advances in science, there still remain certain aspects of
> science, Maths and documents like PPTs  that still encounter problems with
> text-to-speech conversion and the like. It is in this regard that we, at the
> Blind Graduates Forum of India, are teaming up with Continual Engine for an
> enlightening session on tools that combine Artificial Intelligence and human
> intervention to increase accessibility for the visually impaired.
> This session will be held on Saturday, December 12th, 2020, at 6 PM (IST).
> It will focus on products associated with Chemistry Vision, Mathematic
> Visions and Table Vision, including the remediation of Table images,
> Chemistry-related content like equations, graphs and molecular structures,
> among others. They will also acquaint participants with Prep which allows
> for the automatic remediation of PDF documents. These are a few among the
> other products and their uses that will be discussed during the course of
> this session.
>
> About Continual Engine
