Re: [AI] visit CHANGWA
The First time I was ever pleasantly surprised to have in my hand a flight safety manual in Braille was some two years ago on my journey by JetConnect. The Indigo seems to have taken this step very recently, but the Air-hostesses on Indigo are quite often happy, perhaps excited, to hand over the safety manual whenever there's a visually-challenged traveler. Let's hope this would inspire other Airways too. -Original Message- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Ajay Minocha Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 10:44 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled.

[AI] Open Invitation to Dr. Michele Friedner's Talk at the Department of sociology, University of Hyderabad
It gives me an immense pleasure in letting you know that The Department of Sociology, University of Hyderabad, will be hosting a special talk entitled: 'New disability mobilities and accessibilities in urban India', to be delivered by Michele Friedner of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Anthropology program, USA. Venue: SAP room of the Department of sociology, 6th-March-2014, Thursday, at 2:30 PM. Abstract This talk ethnographically analyzes the emergence of new disability mobilities and accessibilities in urban India and asks who benefits from them. The category of disability has become a privileged site for the state and NGOs to situate development interventions and for corporations to engage in corporate social responsibility initiatives. These state, NGO, and corporate efforts are directed at a specific kind of disabled individual and are heavily based upon market logics. Utilizing data from an international transportation and tourism accessibility conference held in New Delhi, a technology and disability conference held in Bangalore, and a new accessible taxi service that recently started in Bangalore, this talk critically examines these new mobilities and accessibilities and argues that we are witnessing a new assemblage of state, NGO, and corporation around disability. This talk also pushes analysts and activists working in the arena of disability to be more specific in their treatment of the concepts of mobility and accessibility. Medical anthropologist by training, Michele Friedner is interested broadly in the areas of health and bodies, neo-liberalism and new structures of opportunity, social movements, etc. Friedner is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Anthropology program, and will be joining the faculty of the State University of New York at Stony Brook as an Assistant Professor in the School of Health Technology and Management. Looking forward to meeting you! For any clarification, feel free to contact me on my mobile: 8374701417. Annavaram N., Assistant Professor, Department of English, University of Hyderabad.

Re: [AI] query: provision of having separate evaluation system/examiner for student with VI
If my memory serves me right, UGC has, perhaps, been boasting of following such a preferential model. The problem is that Rules of this kind are never publicly pronounced, for they are meant only for internal circulation to the evaluators concerned. Some years ago, the UGC Chairman has revealed in a conference during a question-answer session that UGC indeed ensures that the scripts of the visually-challenged candidates are evaluated without paying too much attention to minor spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. Now that UGC has given up the descriptive questions, I am not sure if UGC even remembers it! Andhra Pradesh Board of Secondary school Certificate has a peculiar system of giving 10 grace marks in each subject, and 15 in the case of Maths, at the time of 10th standard public examination. But this can be a post-evaluation effect as well.

I have never came across of such mandate upon the evaluator or the university officials, even they don't indicate that this answerbook belongs to a visually challanged candidate! Perhaps they don't do so because making any sign or representation which could help in identifying you amongst others students is not permitted. However at school level or in internal examinations if the teacher knows you personally, he can make such relaxations on the basis of equity.

Re: [AI] Query in using Pay TM for mobile recharge
Dear Vamshhi, Unfortunately, no to both of your questions. Not only paytm, even other services like easymobilerecharge.com don't have such an option at the moment. Ideally, it is good not to look for too much of automation in online services like these.
