Hello all,

One question is if we need to get the scanner serviced as any part in
scanner can be malfunctioning or dust and bad surface make a
difference..

I think the accuracy of scanning document depends upon the quality
scanner somewhere, HP Jet2400 is a basic scanner and may not give as
better result as other better scanners. If you are a partially person
then do scan in kurzweil keeping images enabled, it will be benificial
for you in the situation where unclear text appears, you can see the
image of the page by pressing controll+w.
I am also five year law bachelor degree holder and completed my
masters in international law. I have many law books scanned, if you
need any particular please do let me know. I wll be providing you.

 good afternoon Uma,
 OK, your hardware configuration is sufficient. the resolution is also
ideal.
 but let me know one thing, how do you edit the text after converting
with
 fine reader? because, with fine reader, we can get either of RTF, PDF
or TXT
 outputs as per my knowledge. if you get it in RTF or TXT, you will be
having
 the text but not the images. in that case, you have to look into the
 original printed material for correction. if you get it in PDF, you
get the
 images but not the text and you can not read and edit it. that is why
I
 prefer Kurzweil for scanning purposes. also send the scanned book
without
 correction. but remember you have to send it privately off the list or
 through dropbox or sendspace as the attachments are not allowed in the

Re: [AI] Blind person denied job in railways because of diabetes

2012-02-27 Thread Pankaj Kwatra
Hello All,

Medical examination is done for various jobs and stringent norms are in
place for some jobs. The question arising are:

1. Job actually reserved for VI plus number of vacancies.
2. Whether any person can be disqualified on basis of diabetes or it is
the case of VI only.
3. If disqualified for particular job then some other option can be
offered.

Please gather maximum information via RTI and decide course of action.

Hello Mr. Subramani,

According to me, the best way of finding solution to this chaos is to
first ascertain whether physically fit person too can be disqualified
on the basis of diabetes or not.

If this is a universal rule for all categories of candidates then it
should not be related specifically with VI community. In this case, we
may be one of the victims, but not the exclusive one.

Well, I don't have idea about the definition of fit applicable to
all for getting selected for Gov. jobs. But this can be easily
obtained through RTI and its finding should determine the next course
of action.

1.  If it is for all, then concentration should be put on discarding
such rules through strong arguments in legal battle. One of such can
be that if person during service is not thrown out of job due to
diabetes, then why not to appoint with it?

2.  And, if the rule is specially applied for VI candidate, then I
don't think that it would stand in any court on the basis of
protection from discrimination.

So, just proceed further and invest energy in setting things right.
In my opinion, life's battle is not won by the support or comradeship
of fellows, its your own determination which brings support and
fellows for sharing success with you.

   Hi,

   I thought  you could have gained some attention by putting more
   appropriate subject line which  explicitly states the story.  hence
I
   have changed the subject line.

   First, this disqualification is not on the ground of disability, but
   on the ground of a disease (diabetes).  So, I doubt whether PWD Act
   applies to this case.
   We should find out whether government can disqualify on the ground
of
   such diseases .

   Second, I heard of some case where a person with HIV positive has
been
   disqualified and the court gave the ruling against such denial.  So,
   if HIV positive can't be denied a job, sure a person with diabetes
   shouldn't be.  however I'm not sure of any concrete legal remedy.

   You may hear more from legal experts.

 Dear Friends, hello!
 Yes, it is true that many of our friends are using this forum for 
 discussing books, mobiles and so many other devices which, in my
opinion, 
 are also worthy discussions up to the students' life.

 But, so many of our friends were recruited in public sector as well as

 private sector on the basis of their typing and telephone operating 
 ability before 15 or 20 years back. Now, in these sectors, the working

 scenario has drastically changed due to computerisation and, as up to
my 
 knowledge, 95% of our friends are sitting on the duty in their offices

 without work or without useful working.

 Friends! in fact, the situation is really painful. to some extent, our

 friends, who are in services, might be having their own fault for the 
 painful situation, but on the whole, let us look at the employers of
our 
 friends. Did the employers think of our friends during computerisation

 period or, also thereafter?

 Now, due to competativeness between the public sector and the private 
 sector, each  individual employees' performance is being  looked upon
and 
 due this scenario, our friends are also in the same boat and they have
to 
 sail the same pace by pace. After fifteen years of the
computerisation, 
 the high authorities of the concerned employees are going to provide
them 
 computers and the screen readers etc. without giving them training for

 using the same. But, friends! the five fingers are not equal. many of
the 
 immediate functioneries of the visually impaired employees are
reluctant 
 to provide them user for working on the computers on-line. Each 
every 
 department, wether it is public sector or private sector, has it's
on-line 
 working. So, friends, we have also to think of the same.

 Now, the Time has a burning Point for us and we have to pass it to the
new 
 comers in the services and to the high authorities of the public
sectors 
 as well as to the authorities of the private sectors.

 I also welcome our friends on this forum to accelerate our thoughts so

 that the useful pressure on the concerned sectors as well as our new 
 comers in the services may be transmitted to an applicable solution.

 R. R. Patel.

Dear Rajesh

I have changed the subject line.

Once when one is armed with skill sets, one can easily work out
strategies to manage these variables.

It is very important to realise that one would be doing that work for
the rest of the career lifecycle and if that is a burden then it would
far from being enjoyable and it would carry ones minimal attention. One
can't expect excellence in it.

Whereas if the job is something one is looking forward to do one can
derive happiness and enjoyment performing it

It is true, it may not be a easy task, because of disability to convince
potential employers, if one has the realisation upfront, it would be
less frustrating during the job hunt days.

There are numerous examples of those who have decided to build up skill
sets first did manage to get a placement matching their skill sets.
Needless to emphasise, they have excelled in their field and enjoy their
work.

Subject: Another disabled air passenger, another harrowing experience

Following the deplorable offloading of Jeeja Ghosh, we have today
received a mail from Anjlee Agarwal of Smarthyam of the unwarranted
harassment and harrowing experience at the hands of the Jet Airways
Personnel.

Reproduced below is the mail sent by Anjlee Agarwal.

Deal All,

Followed by the incident of Jeeja with Spice Jet, the very next day I
was harrassed by Jet Connect on 20th Feb. flight 9W 2211 from Delhi to
Raipur. At Delhi airport. I was asked by the boarding pass issuer, if I
am fit to fly. When I asked him, what do you mean, he stared at me
and asked me to sign an indeminity bond. When I refused to do that, he
said, its our rule and you canot fly without signing this. I had to
sign it, as I could not afford to miss the flight.

Raipur airport:
Inspite of airlines crew assurance of getting an aisle chair on board,
the flight supervisor, Niranjan Sen at Raipur pressurised me to be
bodily lifted by four male loaders with the excuse that while deboarding
at Raipur- they do not have aisle chairs in smaller cities. Hence I was
ordered to be bodily lifted  till the gate of the aircraft and then
transferred to the big wheechair and then carried down the steps.

2. On my protest to the above, he threatened me that they will not
de-board me instead will take me back to Delhi as the flight was going
back to Delhi and in midst of all this commotion, flight attendants
asked passengers to board the flight, before I de-boarded.

3. I kept fighting for making an aisle chair available and I refused to
both- bodily lifting and carried back to Delhi.

4. Meanwhile junior supervisor, started harrassing me by saying that I
have not put a request for wheelchair while booking the tickets. When I
said that I did made a wheelchair request at The Delhi airport and also
while booking tickets, he said that wheelchairs users cannot  book
tickets through web booking. This came as a bigger shock to me because
I did book tickets online and with wheelchair request.

4. The fight continued for 35 minutes and when they found that I will
not give up, a Jet airways aisle chair appeared. With ruthlessness and
extreme rudeness, I was transferred into the aisle chair and literally
thrown down the steps, as if they are all trying to get rid of me.

I think, it is quite obvious that what airlines do is book tickets, make
money, and treat disabled passengers as noonincoops to be loaded by
loaders, as if we are sack of vegetables.

There is no rule, no training and no courtesy for disabled passengers.
Private airlines make us sign an ideminity bond, wherein its clearly
written that Airlines will not take any responsibility of the passenger.

Now, it is time for the entire disability sector to join hands and stand
up aganinst the airlines and ask them to come up with uniform and
dignified policy/guidelines for disabled passengers and SHOULD pay heavy
price for violation.
The CAR guidelines are available at:
http://dgca.nic.in/cars/D3M-M1.pdf

Hi Santosh,
Nice to learn that you have taken up Science and in my humble opinion,
you should make the best use of assistive devices and technology and
attend to the practical's and shouldn't look for concessions or
exemptions. So I suggest, your research should be find out solutions for
the problems you would face in practical sessions. For instance, if you
need to deal with liquids, there are liquid level indicators and there
are talking measuring instruments. This way, not only, you would
complete your studies, but an opportunity for you to educate your
collage / university to make their labs accessible.

Let us know, if you have any questions.

Thanks,
-Srinivasu

Re: [AI] A question regarding graphs

Subject: [AI] A question regarding graphs

Hi all,

A few months ago, I had asked a question about how the marking is done
for graphs and diagrams for visually impaired students in the HSC
board exams.
So, many people told me that visually impaired students do not have to
make graphs in economics.
Instead, they get all the marks on the basis of the rest of the answer
that they've written.
I asked the board people about this.
So, they gave me a copy of the circular which states that visually
impaired students do not have to make graphs and they further asked me
to attach the copy of that to my answer sheet so that the person
checking the paper will be able to award marks accordingly.

 I followed the same procedure in 10th, but, unfortunately, I did not
get any marks for the diagram question in my paper.
I wasn't able to see my answer sheet, as the provisions of the board
do not allow any student to see the answer sheet after it has been
checked.
However, I got 96 marks, so I'm pretty sure that I lost all my 4 marks
because of the diagram question.
 So, even though the board people have told me that they will allot
marks on the basis of the theoretical part of my answer, I still don't
know whether I should trust them or not.
I can practice all the main graphs with my writer before the exam so
that she'll be able to properly draw them in the exam.
If I do this, then I won't have to attach any circular with my paper,
and my paper will be checked like anyone else's.

I have also been told that the papers of visually impaired students
are checked separately.
I assume that they find out that a student is visually impaired by
seeing the circular which VI students attach to their papers.
So, I also feel that they may not properly evaluate my papers and
might give me just above-average marks on account of sympathy and
pity, without actually checking my paper.
So, naturally, this can have an adverse impact on my percentage.

So, according to you, should I ask my writer to draw the graphs in the
exam, or should I simply attach the circular which the board people
have given?

Your help would be really appreciated.
I hope that my question makes sense.

Cheers,
Rahul

Hello friends,
A very nice  interesting topic to discuss. It's an opportunity to
know, how different people express their thoughts  desires while
dreaming. We never decide to visualise unpleasant dreams, but still
sometimes we see them.
I would like to share my feelings  views on the same, hope many have
the same view on this!
I lost my vision about 26/years back, but still now in dreams, I see
colours, faces   objects, which I never saw even! May be I am a late
blind  seen colours  faces etc, helps me to visualise the things
better, but how, is my question?

I think, while talking to someone or touching or listening about
something, we imagine a basic image of that person or object  in our
dreams also we imagine that only. We might not visualise it actually,
but as we imagine during talking, touching or listening, we imagine
the same  say we can see all while dreaming. It's all our imagination
power, which really allows us to see in dreams  smile!
Sometimes in my dreams, I know I am blind, but still I see certain
colours, objects etc, really don't know why? It's really a puzzle, how
I visualise things in dreams, that too very clearly!
I even see new things also very well! Very surprising, but it's true.
I always regret, when the dream gets over!

Thanks  regards

 Hello all,
 I lost my vision gradually and now even no light perception. If I am
 talking about dreams, no any difference between present and past.
Same
 human being's faces, moments and world which I saw earlier. In my
 daily routine life, I feel same visualization of objects, places and
 relatives of which I saw in my past. Many times, during conversation,
 my mind starts to imajine very minor human actions like moments of
 eyes, lips, nose, including entire body according opposite person's
 voice and situation. So several times, I forget whether I have really
 no vision. I don't know it's a power of strong imagination,
 visualization or memory. Yes, it's true, now having no colour
 perception, my mind doesn't focus on colouring world, so many times,
I
 use to ask colour of objects, and then no problem!
 Still waiting for experiences of totally/blind members.

show
 our visualization or night dreams? Really smiling.
 Thanks a lot for all interest.

I think this is absolutely bull shit. Yes grass is not all green at
private
sector but it is indeed making an effort. MNC such as IBM are global

There are many company such as Pwc, Pepsi, etc.

Hello All,

Adding few points :

1. Keep private sector as your last option for employment as government
or public sector has more benefits / security.

2. Equal opportunity employer is just a buzz word as MNC's do not follow
anything and their policies change with countries.

3. Hiring a disabled in private sector is just branding exercise and
fulfilling social responsibility clause.

4. Private sector do not have any policy for promotion , salary
revisions or benefits to PWD's .

5. Private sector will keep PWD's on contracts and there is no arbitrary
or legal protection.

Hi Govind !

You can address me  in whichever manner you are comfortable with, dear.
I am always available at 098 472  76 126.

I agree with Rajesh's views about the public sector  under-utilising
persons with disabilities, but, frankly, in these tumultuous times, with
EMI payments on home, car or personal loans dangling over one's head, it
is indeed  a comforting thought to know that one's payslip will keep
arriving  without fail till the age of retirement. (smile)

Having said this, I must hasten to add that even PSUs are not actually
safe enough,  as I myself discovered in 2004.  The then NDA govt was
following a policy of strategic disinvestment (viz. diluting a majority
stake in public sector units) and   a moratorium on retrenchment was
built into the Share Holders' Agreement that afforded protection of just
one more year of service to the unionized workforce (not officers).  The
companies that were disinvested  (like BALCO, Modern Food Industries
Ltd) etc promptly restructured their workforce exactly at the end of
one year of disinvestment, giving a golden handshake to its disabled
employees.  I had lengthy telephone consultations with Dr Uma Tule, then
CCPD, and legal experts like Dr Bhushan Punani (BPA, Ahmedabad) and they
were unanimous in their view that the PWD Act's protection was available
only when the government was in control in a unit.  The fate of disabled
employees in a company after disinvestment was a gray area (and still
is, if I am not mistaken) and this was one of the motivating factors for
me to opt for voluntary retirement when the Govt put my previous
employer on the chopping block.  

Public sector banks are safer since there seems to be some consensus
among political parties that they should not be privatized.  However,
the safest bet is joining the Government itself.  One can find
fulfillment in life through other avenues, you know, once financial
security is ensured.

A lot of so-called equal opportunity employers quietly dumped their
disabled resources during the melt-down in 2008.  Similar trouble lies
ahead  with  clouds gathering in the economic firmament.

All the best for your hunt for a safe harbour...

Hello All,

Brain power is really unexplored by science. How can a blind person see
faces of people with just listening to their voice or shake hand but it
is true. The image of any place is formed by spending some time at a
particular area. How can person with no vision guide complete route on
road without any visual inputs. The sense of smell , taste and hearing
becomes powerful , you can judge things by mere heat where every living
or mechanical energy in this world emits heat .The smell sensation
becomes very powerful , it becomes difficult to control but it can be
done with practice. Hearing power keeps the volume at 1 or it can go
down to minimum if focused with no distraction.

 Hello all,
 I lost my vision gradually and now even no light perception. If I am
 talking about dreams, no any difference between present and past. Same
 human being's faces, moments and world which I saw earlier. In my
 daily routine life, I feel same visualization of objects, places and
 relatives of which I saw in my past. Many times, during conversation,
 my mind starts to imajine very minor human actions like moments of
 eyes, lips, nose, including entire body according opposite person's
 voice and situation. So several times, I forget whether I have really
 no vision. I don't know it's a power of strong imagination,
 visualization or memory. Yes, it's true, now having no colour
 perception, my mind doesn't focus on colouring world, so many times, I
 use to ask colour of objects, and then no problem!
 Still waiting for experiences of totally/blind members.
 While writing mail, one more query, Is there any devise which can show
 our visualization or night dreams? Really smiling.
 Thanks a lot for all interest.

 Did you lose your eye sight instantaneously (as in an accident like

 In such cases, the images stored in your brain must be crystal clear
 till the n- 1'st moment.

 In my case, I lost my vision over a 10 year deteriorating period
 Perhaps, my brain stored progressively degraded images.

Hello All,

Dreams roots are both conscious state of mind and unconscious world
hidden to many people. The perception of late blind does not change as
few things never change for example colors ,shapes etc. The mind stores
data of everything in memory so with no vision object is analyzed with
available data and information is continually updated with learning and
new experiences.

Hi Bijal

I suppose, dreams are just the manifestation of the world of your

reflected in the dream state.

Continuing with Vetri's comments, sexual experiences in dream would be
triggered by biological factors like those of hormones, scent, thoughts

Friends,

The day before yesterday, a colleague of ours along with his wife had
gone 
to a market near their house in North Delhi. Both are visually impaired
and 
the lighting on the road was poor and the wife slipped and fell into a
pit 
on the way and was badly hurt.

Now pits, open man holes and all kinds of such obstacles are not very 
uncommon in a country like ours where the civic administration is
totally 
inefficient, corrupt and insensitive. All of us  who are visually
impaired 
in this country have to thank God that we have not fallen into any of
these 
traps as yet that are waiting for us in our cities while going about our

daily lives.

We are called upon to be independent and  mobile. I wonder how this is 
possible when the environment around us is unsafe and inaccessible.

This apart,  a few years ago I was visiting an old building in Central
Delhi 
and while climbing the stairs, I found uncovered electric wires hanging 
loosely on the sides of the staircase. A blind person could easily
touched 
these wires. Wonder what the city authorities would have said then. I
have 
encountered such staircases in Mumbai too.

Another safety hazard for us blind people are the stray dogs and monkeys

that boldly roam the streets these days. Shouldn't we do something about

this?

I think it is time we raised our voices against this. People have to
realize 
that open man holes uncovered pits, untidy footpaths, uncovered electric

wires, stray animals  and the like are unsafe for all concerned. We
should 
not be waiting for an accident to take place before  taking any action.

People interested in joining us in filing a PIL in this regard, please
write 
to us privately at

We have to make our cities safer for each of us.

my next semester. I think that they will provide their own computer
because if they allow u to use your own laptop then the apprehension
of cheating will be in their mind even if u do honestly!. But what I
found that while  dictating the answer the state of mind is much
concentrated rather than typing on the keyboard. Typing distracts the
mind and one may loose his/her concentration. But I will do hard work
upon maintaining concentration while typing. Another apprehension is
of some mishapp, suppose something bad happened with the computer or
you by mistake loose the written answer! or any other technical
faliour to the machine?
I think LL.B exams can be given in better way by writing himself.

 Hi all,

 I usually give all my exams with the help of a writer.
 I am currently in 12th grade.
 So, I often find it hard to find a good writer for giving all my
tests.
 I have been able to finalize a writer for the boards.
 She writes very well, but the problem is that she grumbles a lot
 because the answers that I have to write are often very long and she
 has to spend nearly 4 hours for every paper.
 I usually don't ask one writer to give more than a couple of papers at
 a time so that they can all get adequate amount of rest.
 I do know that this is not possible for the boards, and that is why I
 said that I have finalized one single writer for the boards.

 However, like I said earlier, it is often very difficult to find a
good
 writer.
 I am planning to go for LLB after 12th, so I will inevitably have to
 solve long, lengthy papers.
 So, due to this, very few people will be willing to solve my papers
for me.
 Many people solve their papers on a computer with JAWS.
 So, even I'll probably have to do that after 12th.
 I have a couple of questions regarding that.

 First, do you use your own laptop for solving the papers, or do you
 have to use a computer at the place where you're giving your exam?
 Do you face any particular problems with this method of giving your
 exams on the computer?
 Are you able to properly finish your paper within the stipulated
amount of
 time?

 So, please do respond to these questions.
 Your help, as always, would be really appreciated.

 Cheers,
 Rahul

Dear Friends,



Today is the special day for all of us. It is the 203rd birth day of the
Great Louis Braille, the man who invented Braille. it was not merely
invention of Braille but he could also be creditted to provide us the
much needed individuality and liberation from ignorance. Today, what we

 Well on a serious note, visual ability or otherwise does matter in
such
 matters.
 So, it would be good if we can discuss it from that angle.
 I have observed that the fact  that we are not hundred percent
 independent in our outings, and the girl has naturally to assist us,
 affects social outlook.
 For ex. firstly, the girl herself may come to feel it something
other
 than or less than a date, and so, the quality of relationship
matters.
 Another challenge is to make intentions clear, as more often than
not,
 eyes are the primary medium for expressing romantic intent.

 Sahir has said:
 Kaun kahta hai, muhhabat ki Zuban hoti hai,
 Ye hakikat to nigahon se bayan hoti hai..
 However, we have to change this and I have replied to him in a
prolonged
 poem which begins like:

 Ham ye kahte hain muhhabat ki zuban hoti hai.
 Ye hakikat kyaa nigahon se bayaan hoti hai???

The situation in India for disabled is very very bad, leave alone few
good example but majority is  down under. There is complete lack of any
thought , no accessible tools , basic working condition for disabled,
leave aside salary or promotion , no training. Who will change inherited
colonial thinking of people. Disabled category is non homogenous group
who are named as obligation, risk and costly proposition.

I am still positive about changing situation as more people are given

At Srinivasu

If we are talking about individual company names, one company named
Lazer soft in Chennai, claimed to have been equal opportunity company
and also that most of its employees were challenged.
The company was specialising in development of softwares for banking
space, and when I went in for interview, not a single visually
challenged person was recruited there.
After my qualification as CA in 2006, my experiences at the campus
recruitments in ICAI with companies like Goldman Sacks, BPCL, Wipro,
Infosys, LT, etc have been clearly an evidence of the reluctance of
the HR managers to recruit visually challenged candidates.

Do we mean to say that any VI person who have'nt been able to land up
into a job into the corporate world, lacks the requisite skills, its
sheer bull shit.
Only a handfull of us, have been able to land up into good jobs, and
based on that, we can't conclude that no-one else possesses the
requisite skills. And also that , we better know how we landed up into
those jobs.
And about the skill sets, hiring a candidate from IIM or such premier
institutes does not require any great boasting up of the companies of
having been an inclusive organisation, as it constitutes only a meagre
percentage, and also that they would anyways get placed due to their
knowledge and networking.
Barring a few on this list itself, I don't think there are many of us
who are highly Tech savy or people who have total expertees in their
respective domains.
For that matter, any fresher or even experienced persons may
necessarily not be having indepth understanding of the industry as a
whole.
If our education systems are non-inclusive, then its not fair to blame
the individual for not possessing good linguistic skills, or the so
called soft skills, most of the schools being regional in nature, even
in relatively bigger cities.
Let us not generalise our ideas on the basis of a very small sample,
where the ground reality is completely different.
May be that, the so called HR managers and the top management,
comprising of the best brains from B-schools, lack the skill sets in
valuation, which they think they are good at.
Its all about finding value, and if someone is not able to find any
value in something, then its his/her incompetence as well as the
product itself.
If I have been created differently, then why I should be equated with
my non-peers and rated on the same scale. Competence/incompetence is
highly relative.

Jairam

blind person which in insufficient  with rising inflation and transport

Dear all,

How are you?
My question is Can you move the mails you want to delete or move into
span in a easier way?
Like selecting all of the mails which you want to throwh from your
inbox.
Is there any keystroke to select the check boxes other than checking
them by going to each mail?
Hope to hear from you soon.

With regards,

Re: [AI] overclocking system/fsi bus

Hello Austin,

Speed in megahertz is determined by motherboard ,Ram and processor
configuration. The Ram speed can be altered by changing settings of RAM
from Bios .Branded PC have removed this option ,but it can be done on
assembled PC. Instead you can clean the system by removing unnecessary
data by backing up ,use disk defrag and keep min. programs running at
startup .

 MUMBAI: The Kolsewadi police in Kalyan (E) on Friday arrested a
 39-year-old blind man for allegedly raping his friend's 24-year-old
 wife, who is also blind, at his friend's residence in Manpada,
 Dombivli, on October 27.

 The police also arrested accused Ashok Yadav's friend Mahesh Yadav
 (22), also blind, for aiding him.

 Investigators said the victim, a resident of Ambernath, and the
 accused, from Kalyan (E), sell fruits, vegetables and stationery
items
 on local trains and they got friendly due to their common profession.

 The matter came to light on Friday, when the victim's husband (also
 blind) got suspicious after his wife stopped talking to Ashok.

 On repeated questioning, the victim broke down and revealed that
 Ashok, on the pretext of repairing a mobile phone, took her to his
 friend's flat in Manpada and repeatedly raped her. In the police
 complaint, the victim's husband, said, Before leaving for Pune for
 personal work, I decided to leave my wife at my friend Ashok's Kalyan
 residence. While leaving her, I bought her a mobile phone and got a
 prepaid SIM card. However, she was unable to operate it. When she
 asked Ashok to help her in activating it, he claimed that the phone
 had to be repaired and took her to Dombivli, where he raped her.

 Kolsewadi police assistant inspector I V Vishwakarma said they had
 booked Ashok for rape and his accomplice for aiding him in the crime.
 The victim maintained silence for almost a week. The accused were
 arrested from their residences.

 Hi sir
 I don't know about the coins
 but I can identify notes by a racseen cloth
 You should take a racseen cloth similar to the size of 1000 rs note
 because it is the biggest note in size
 then with the help of a sighted person compare each note with it
 and put an easily identifyable cut on the edge of the cloth at the
 place where a note ends
 because we have our notes in a form that rs 1 note is the smallest
and
 after the size of notes increases with increas in there vallue for
 example rs 20 note is bigger than rs 10 note
 then you will be able to identify them very eaisly

Re: [AI] Screen Readers: Maintaining careful listening for longtime?

2011-11-07 Thread Pankaj Kwatra
Hello All,

Interesting new topic , just watched something on National Geographic
yesterday , million of neurons go waste in our brain as information is
not accepted by them and hence a blind spot is created where we are
reading or watching but knowledge is not stored.

Break is a good point as listening to similar voice for long time will
affect your concentration. Break can be pre determined on basis of topic
,time I.e tea or snack break, lunch etc.I remember college lectures
which used to be boring and hence few sleeping casualities which had
parameters like similar voice ,no group exercises, just had meal or
concentrating on outdoor activities.

Continous listening can affect your concentration hard and if it is
noisy environment then it will be double impact. Doctors say keep the
volume  as low as possible is listening by head phone for longer hours
because it can affect ear and brain in longer run.

School days ,advisory board consisting of teachers,parents and elders
suggested frequent break freshens you mind.Work should not be
monotonous.Problems like noisy environment, insects, lack of exercise
are areas of concern.

Cheers,

Pankaj Kwatra

Amar, we tend to forget taking breaks when engrossed in reading, and
true, we don't even want to take breaks, though at every 40 minutes
there has to be a break of around 5 minutes. I was fortunate when I
was using the demo version of Jaws because then I had no other chance
except taking breaks, and they really used to refresh me. Reading
sentence by sentence and voice changing are good ideas. But I feel
there is no substitute for taking a break every 40 minutes. Though I
still am figuring out how to train myself to take breaks! Friends,
please give me suggestions that how can one allow or remind himself to
take breaks amid deep reading. I would be immensely thankful. With

 used to be a fast reader in brail too, but no more. But I would say
 that using a brail display in my view would certainly slow you down to
 a considerable extent if speed is your priority and that's the case
 with me. I am not sure about the refreshment on brail display, but I
 read with the speed of 500 words per minute and there's no way I can
 loose my concentration by focussing my attention on listening as well
 as brail reading.

Hello

Drivers for 32bit in any case would be incompatible with 64bit machine/
program or vice versa, there are few 32 bit program which cannot run on
64 bit OS.Device driver for 32 bit machine will not work with 64 bit
machine i .e dealing with hardware.

Good Luck in your decision.

One thing forgotten in this discussion is drivers. Unfortunately many
venders have begun to introduce seperat drivers for 32 and 64 bits.
And some of the old devices will not have drivers for 64 bit and it
means that you cannot run them on your 64 OS platform. Much like Nokia
3th/5th edition models, microsoft has introduced driver signing
methods. It means that unsigned drivers cannot be installed on 64 OS
platform.

 Hi friends, I have discussed already extensively upon this topic. I
 also thought to perchase Dell laptop but I dropped the idea just
 because of the dichotomy of 64 bit windows. Dell has stopped
providing
 32 bit OS. Even with other manufacturers in neer future only 64 bit
 will be available as 32 bit is vanishing from the market.  Finally
I
 perchased Lenovo machine with no operating system and I have
installed
 xp upon it and I am enjoying with my all softwares which are easely
 supposed to run upon 32 bit platform. Its true that in future not
so
 much applications will be available for 32 bit but till now we dont
 have various softwares which could be run on 64 bit platform due to
 various reasons. But one thing I want to asure that at least for
next
 five years the softwares for supporting xp will be available. As
still
 you can find various softwares which support to windows ME, and
 windows 2,000. Therefore till any solution is achieved with 64 bit
 prefer xp or 32 bit win 7.
 Its very right observation that may Dell would not supply drivers
for
 32 bit since it has stopped that to supply with 32 bit. I recommend
u
 to go for any machine which is having no OS and install xp upon it
 urself. I will not recommend u to pay for the window which u at the
 end of the day have to uninstall.

you arive at the food counter ask the person serving to describe what
the dishes are and how spicy it is. If you do this you would be able
to manage with out any difficulty. thanks

Re: [AI] Tips to manage without escort?

Hello All,

Prefer escort or assistance for outdoor and love to be independent while
moving indoor. External environment poses risk and condition of cities
is known to all and would reiterate mobility can be different for low
vision as compared to a completely blind person.

That's it.
I suspect many of those who vote against any fixed escort despite
availability/affordability/no privacy concerns, are partially blind,
meaning that they are able to do some vital things visually.

Mobility with 'fixed escort' or without one with your cane/no cane is
like moving in a familiar world of your own  another unfamiliar to you.
White cane can only be a safety tool to prevent your near fall but not a
guide as u have to ask directions from others despite your cane.

Recently I had been to a training programme from my office in different
location.  There everybody (as is vogue today) held his plate in one
hand, put things of 5-6 types by his other  then took to eating on
standing tables during lunch.  I had to fumble my way to the queue
starting with the plate point, often getting somebody to fill up with
edibles  helping me to the standing table.  Where I could answer 
raise questions with confidence during our faculty lectures, I felt my
confidence was badly shaken in lunch place only depending on others to
feed me with their help.  Even the lunch place was hundreds of metres
away from training ground where reaching could be more than mere
fumbling for the place.  In such scenario, as often it is with a blind
person alone, I always think a fixed escort if you could have it, would
be the best option.  Your confidence level is very high, you feel at par
with your colleagues  have your own world to enjoy without any
dependence on new persons for your pleasure of choice.  It could be
really very harassing asking for help everyone for your needs  feeling
bad when society fails to help you in time.

Certain misconceptions need to be cleared here: Anyone talking about

around streets, subway trains etc and it does not prevent blind people
here from using dogs. True people do have to face situations like
other people trying to pet the working dogs etc and it does creat
problems for a guide dog here. Nowhere are the visually challenged
people well off. I can say that it certainly includes the United
States. So to emphasize my point again, none of these should be

 underground/trams/trains are assured with low step to climb, so a

 On top, communication with a dog, especially with a guide one on the
road,

 can turn into a big issue if anything happens and the dog was
distracted
 by someone else, which means, it is  forbidden for children and/or
grown

 Not to mention, the hygeen level a dog requiers, especially if living

 In my view this circular needs to be denounced with the same ferver as
one
 opposes provisions that discriminate us and does not respect our
abilities.

 Naveen, if I were you, I would certainly go to write the departmental
 promotional tests despite this circular. I would demand reasonable
 accommodation with respect to having a level playing field. I would
also
 encourage your other disabled folks to take this path.

Mrs. Bhatt,

I understand from your feelings that you had a bad experience while
getting 
your child admit in to a Mainstream School.
Like almost every aspect of our life, we may confront difficulty in the 
mainstream schools too, however, I would not deny the fact that there
are 
many good schools where the Visually Impaired students do get admissions
and 
are well nurtured by the teachers.
I did my schooling from mainstream School and completed 12th in 2001
from 
Delhi. But never got such complain from my School side.
If you are in Delhi, there are plenty of Schools.
In case you are looking for a good school in Delhi for your Son and
still 
facing challenges, do let me know. we will try to refer you some Schools
in 
Deli.

Hi again to all of you . This is anjina Mother of visually handi cap
mother . This is burning topic and i can very well imagine how bad and
emabarrassing it is for a mother whose child is being thrown away from
 Main stream school

 I believe that every child has a gift and every child has disability
if we compensate gift with disability we can take best out from them ?
but who cares ? we have big big laws but they are on papers , who
inspects whether they have been followed or not / I believe that it
had become mandatory for schools to keep special educator but who sees
that whether that has been followed or not  you will see
few schools where the special educators are hired rest no one cares
 I am sorry if i am hurting any body sentiments but there are many
organisations who are fighting for this but on practical grounds no
body is fighting for cause . We have big big laws but on papers social
 sensitisation is not there .with  threat of  law you shall get
admission for your child but who sees how he is being treated there
because when social sensitation is not there nothing can be done
... Lot of funds goes to  special schools but if you see their
infra structure it is pathetic  I have a very sorry figure for
this ..
 But as a parent i shall request each parent to please stand up and
fight back , donot stop here donot get disturbed by this . all
children are god gifted and if god has not drawn any line who are we
to draw . please stand up and fight back . lets show that every thing
is possible we can show miracles with our child . every child is
special . lets sensitise this so called bad world
I want to share my example where that i have also struggled lot for my
admission of my son and one so called big school called my name out of
400 parents during interview that  the school is inadequate for
admitting my son . but there answer never disturbed me nor moved or
shaken my confidence , I replied .. if you are inadequate that is
your problem not mine i think you need another 10 yrs  to reach my
sons level so please have confidence dont worry find
solutions . Mothers can move the world , it was thomas Elva edison's
mothers guts who taught his son at home and made him big scientist
with whose light whole world is lighten so be brave lets togetherly

 Kids with disabilities don't need no special education

 In 2004, Latika Sargar's dream for her eldest son seemed to fall
apart.
 Sachin, who has mild mental retardation, was thrown out of a
government
 school for repeating a class thrice.

 They asked me to take him to a special school at a far off place in 
 Malad,
 says Sargar, who lives in a one-room shack in Andheri. I could not
take 
 him
 there.

 Sachin has two younger siblings. My husband told me we must educate
them,
 and could not afford to educate Sachin, recalls Sargar. They decided
to
 keep the child at home. For three years, Sachin's main tasks involved 
 taking
 care of his siblings, helping out with the household chores or simply
 walking on the streets with hands buried in his pockets, smiling at no
one
 in particular. I felt very sad. My younger children were studying
well 
 and
 it was my dream to send Sachin to a school, too. But I did not have a
 choice, says Sargar.

Dear Kanchan,

With hundreds of appologies I am sending you my suggestions at the
last moment and hope that you will include them. as I happened to see
your mail today itself.

Once again extremely sorry for this delay.

Here goes my suggestions

1.  Women and girls with disabilities not to be subjected to any
form
of discrimination either within or outside their family;

2.  Women and girls with disabilities not to be subjected to any
form
of violence either within or outside their family and government to
take strategic measures to combat all forms of violence against women
with disabilities;

3.  government to set up special service centres in police stations
and
district hospitals for women with disabilities in order to address
their specific concerns and special communication needs of women with
hearing and speech impairments as well as intellectual disabilities.

4.  Women with disabilities to be given priority in all programs of
the
government including in education, employment schemes, housing,
poverty alleviation, health care, etc.

5.  Women with disabilities shall be entitled to family, marriage,
motherhood, and kinship related rights on equal basis with others;

6.  government to ensure the safety and security of those women with
disabilities living in residential institutions.

 2. What new Scheme should be introduced?
 3. Which existing Scheme can be strengthened?

 Any thoughts on helping specifically  women with disabilities.

 You all have varied experiences this is the time to put on your

 I would love to hear the women on this group who are generally silent.
The

 Now engineering college for visually challenged too
 Posted: Wed Jul 13 2011, 10:52 hrs
 Hyderabad:
 In a novel initiative that will help visually challenged students, the

 city-based 'Devnar Foundation for the Blind' is planning to start an 
 exclusive engineering college for the blind.


 Despite being visually-impaired, many students are highly motivated to

 pursue engineering courses and there are several success stories, A 
 Saibaba Goud, Devnar Foundation's Managing Trustee, commented.


 Some of our children are highly motivated to follow engineering
courses. 
 One of our students is studying engineering at Massachusetts Institute
of 
 Technology(MIT), Boston. All of them have motivated more children, who
are 
 asking for engineering courses, he added.


 The visually-challenged children are often denied admission in
polytechnic 
 and engineering colleges, but many of them have managed to get
admissions 
 after taking legal recourse, Goud further added..


 Though the courts have given permission for the entrance test and 
 subsequent admission, the competent university authorities were not 
 convinced in the beginning and the problem still continues, he said.


 This has made us think of starting a separate engineering college for
the 
 visually challenged, he said.


 Givining details about the method of teaching, Goud said the students
will 
 be taught engineering with the help of modern technology and software.


 He added that the school has got TGT pro-software, which can print 
 graphics or maps for the benefit of the visually challenged. The
ability 
 to use the systems effectively raises the confidence level of the
students 
 to a great extent.


 Computer science and Information Technology courses are planned to be 
 offered in the proposed special engineering college.


 In order to start this venture, the Foundation requires two acres of
land 
 on long lease within Hyderabad city, thats why, a request has been
made to 
 the state government.


 Two acres of land on long lease within city (is our requirement)
because 
 it will be convenient for the students and staff. As this is a
voluntary 
 organisation, we get a number of voluntary teachers and other
volunteers 
 from the city. This is our main requirement, he said.


 The Foundation plans to start the college in 2012-13, provided the
land 
 becomes available and the donors are ready to make the contribution
for 
 the construction.


 The Devnar Foundation was started in 1991 with just four students. The

 school now has over 350 students.

 Dear Rajesh sir,

 Thank you for bringing this to the notice of all.

 Add one more eye disease to RP and MD,even Glocoma patients are
 ineligible to be recruited and/or promoted in SBI.

 It's ridiculous to note that while SBI is recruiting totally blind
 people as clerks and promoting them as officers, people with RP, MD,
 Glucoma are deemed as unfit to do the same works.

 A person with RP or MD eventually becomes blind over time.  Will he be
 eligible to
 become an officer at that point?  Or will SBI still say the reason for
 his blindness was RP or MD and hence no promotion?

 If a person with RP/MD/Glocoma takes a knife and digs out both his
 eyes and becomes
 totally blind, will SBI make him eligible to be recruited and
promoted?

 I don't understand the rationale behind specifically pointing out a
 few eye diseases as a bar to be recruited and promoted.

 The next serious problem is that SBI, which, till date, has been
 recruiting people with RP/MD/Glocoma, will even stop recruiting them
 as the applicability of the circular to recruitment is with effect
 from 09/07/2011.

 SBI, the largest bank of the country, has issued the revised circular

 My reading of the circular also leads me to believe that it will do
the
 same
 to one eyed candidates.

 I am pasting the circular below.
 We must clarify whether it will apply to blind and low vision
candidates
 appointed on reserved posts, as the circular says it applies to one
eyed
 and
 other candidates. The only saving grace is use of word other General
 candidates at one place.
 Anyway, there is no reservation in promotion, so its application to
 promotions of blind/low vision candidates is guaranteed.

 REVIEW OF THE OPHTHALMOLOGICAL STANDARDS FOR RECRUITMENT AND

 We refer to our letter No HR/IR/SPL/397 dated the 16th December, 2006
 forwarding therewith the guidelines for standards of medical
 fitness/visual
 acuity
 for the new recruits/promotions and circular letter No.
 CDO/PHRD-PM/74/200910
 dated 11.03.2010 vide which the policy for recruitment/promotion for
one-
 eyed candidates was circulated.
 2.
 In this connection, we have received few representation from the
Circles
 advising therein that due to implementation of the policy for
recruitment
 and promotion
 of one-eyed candidates, the officers who are already in service and
who
 qualified for promotion have been declared unfit for promotion due to
some
 vision
 in the worst eye. Therefore, a need has been felt to review the
policy.
 3.
 As such a committee was constituted to examine the issue relating to
the
 standard of medical fitness-visual acuity for recruitment and for
 promotion
 for
 one-eyed and other candidates. The Committee has examined the above
aspect
 and felt that the standards for recruitment and promotion may be
relaxed
 and
 amended. The committee has also recommended that the same standard
will
 not
 be applicable for recruitment and promotion for posts/ services
classified
 as Technical/ Specialised in officer, clerical and subordinate cadres
 and their standard for visual acuity should be different one.
Accordingly,
 the
 ECCB in its meeting dated 09.07.2011 approved the new policy for
 recruitment
 and promotion of one-eyed candidates and other general candidates.
 Accordingly, the standards for employees other than Specialist 
Technical
 employees will be as per the standards prescribed in Annexure-I and

Hi I have PAN Card and it's compulsory to sign on form.

Hello Friends,
 One of my friend is facing a very serious problem in submitting his
new
 PAN application form due to thumb impression. The officer has rejected
his
 PAN application  form saying that the thumb impression is not valid on
a
 PAN Card application, so that the form will not be considered as per
the
 income tax act.
 What can be done if a VH person cannot provide a signature  on his PAN
 Card?
 Is it true whether a visually impaired person requires to put his
 signature on PAN card application? Is there any circular available for
the
 same to tackle this situation?

It sounds pretty strange. We are talking about not getting clossetted

what can one say about this? The problem iwth such orders and
notifications is that the government rather conveniently leaves the
reasons for its decision to assumptions and interpretations.

hello to all
thankyou for giving me the valuable suggestion regarding formation of
currency amount recogniser.
Your suggestions are the prestigious gift for me.
Now, I want to clarify my second statement.
I have seen, that many visually challenged persons has to face
difficulties in detecting bus numbers during traveling.
so, I think that it is essential to have a software, through which we
can overcome this problem.
I think that after putting a software in walking cane, there should be
a scope for visually challenged person to instruct that cane for
detecting only that bus number, in which, the person wants to travel.
Instruction of the visually impared person should be in written form.
It means, before travelling, the person has to write destination like
Saray kale khan to badarpur, and then he should write the bus number
like 163 on the cane and the cane will only detect the specific
destination and detect the specific bus number which has been written
by the person.

I hope, you all have got my point.
But if you feel difficulty in my statement, you can tell me without
any hesitation.
You can wsend mail on- rituma...@gmail.com.
thankyou for your valuable contribution.

Hi George,

the level of awareness that company has. Although, it's unfortunate, but
at
times, when a employer sees disability on CV and if he / she is not
sensitized towards disability, then chance are more for rejection and he

 Hi Srinivasu,

 We have had this discussion several times before though I would be
curious
 to know what, if anything  Indian law says on this matter. The
article
 also
 states:
 As you mention, the ADA prohibits hiring managers from asking job
 candidates any medical questions, and the consensus among legal
experts in
 this field is that you're under no obligation to bring up the subject
in
 an
 interview, unless you have reason to believe it could affect your
ability
 to
 do your job.

 And there's the rub. Since you managed to work around your condition
in
 your
 last job, do you think you could do the same in a new position?

 Or do you have reason to believe it will be harder this time around
(for
 example, if the illness has gotten more severe, or the episodes more
 frequent)?
 PL] In my experience, it is not so much whether you believe that your
 disability will impact your job. It is all about the employer's
 perception.
 I see no easy answer to that problem. chuckle You know, people say
that
 you
 are sized in the first 3 minutes. So, is the problem as simple as
doing
 something to shatter that perception in the first 3 minutes? grin

 Intex Technologies launched a dual-SIM handset, designed for the
 visually impaired, priced at Rs 2,600.


 NEW DELHI: Mobile handset maker Intex Technologies today launched a
 dual-SIM handset, designed for the visually impaired, priced at Rs
 2,600.

 The dual-SIM (GSM-GSM) handset has a Braile keypad (along with
 large-sized digits) to facilitate recognition of digits as well as a
 'Talking Keypad' feature,
 which speaks out in English the number pressed.

 India has the largest number of blind people in the world and we
 thought it was a category that needed to be catered. The phone is our
 small way to bring
 connectivity to the visually impaired, Intex Technologies Director
 General Manager Shailendra Jha told reporters here.

 According to the National Association for the Blind (NAB), there are
 more than 12 million visually impaired people in the country.

 The handset is also equipped with an SOS button, which allows the user
 to save four emergency numbers. By pressing the SOS button, the call
 gets automatically
 directed to the first emergency number.

 We are not just targeting the visually impaired with this handset,
 but also the elderly, who have difficulty handling the smaller
 keypads, Jha said.


 The phone has facilities like MP3 and wireless FM radio to make this a
 feature-rich phone, he added.

 Blindness is a disability which could be overcome with training and
 guidance. Devices like these can play a very useful role in their
 integrated development,
 NAB President Mohinder Kapur said.

 Intex is aiming to sell more than 5,000 units in the first three
 months of the launch, which it expects will grow once the handset
 becomes more popular.


 The company will promote the handset through associations like NAB and
 other old age homes, Jha said.

Hello Prateek,

I am most comfortable with escalators instead scared of normal stairs as
they can topple you if not focused but an escalators will never do that
as I use sound to determine escalators and people movement. Please do
not jump on escalators ,you should be nimble, use your hand to determine
moving hand rest and then gently move on to escalator with one leg and
once you have found moving stairs ,just quickly transfer your weight to
stairs. Kindly keep negative thoughts out of your mind.I do this without

Subject: [AI] help needed: for using escalators

hi folks,
hope you all are doing great.
With all the traveling I've been doing from past whatever months to
different parts of world, one of the problems I'm facing is to cope
with escalators.
Escalators are becoming common in Indian structures too, but I found a
lot of escalators  at various places especially in countries like US,
UK etc.
No matter whatever I've tried, I haven't been able to independently
use the escalators, and in fact, found myself in a strange nuisance
all the times I have to use them.
for Those who don't know, I'm a totally blind.

Though I manage to take someone's help to climb through escalators,
but even in that case find a lot uneasiness,  particularly due to the
strange manner most of the people use to help me.
Sometimes, 2 people holding my  hands from both the sides, shouting
like hell when I have to further my leg, and all that irritates me to
the crest.
I feel like a victim and  find a serious discomfiture.

Since many of you have been traveling across the world and using
escalators from quite sometime now, I request you to kindly share your
experiences on how do you cope with them.
Since I do not have any sight available, it'll be helpful if you can
help me by describing from that  perspective.

So, can you please guide me on the following?
1.  how to determine when to further the legs when you are totally
blind and can not catch the visual signals?
2.  is there a  technique to do it independently?
3.  I feel a little apprehensive about risk  of legs to get wedged
into
the stairways. Is there a  way out?

Your valuable guidance will be of great use, not just for me, but for
lot of others like me.

Hoping to have some positive responses.

Hello All,

Yes the question is whether we are properly counted which makes person
anxious about data and there is no harm to ask for it and concerns shown
by list members is genuine.

I had only asked for a rough figure in provisional data, like gender
etc.
I too know detailed data would come next year wherein disabled would
perhaps find due and adequate count.
Had not expected a sermon on conspiracy etc.

Vaanshi
You are absolutely right. All the information will be available next
year.
You will be able to get detailed information including district wise
data on
disability for eg which district in India has the most number of
disabled
females. You will be able to get information on different parameters and
the
cross reference numbers. Some of this data will be online while others
will
be available from the offices of the Census Commission at a cost which
is
not high.

The problem with some of us in this group is that we always think we are
victims of a conspiracy. Sometimes we have problems because of the lack
of
knowledge of others and sometimes we suffer because of other reasons not
being disability.

Please lets analyse the situation, check our facts before jumping to the
conclusion that we have been left out.

Chandra Moily spoke to us in Delhi last year and he was very forthright
about the whole census issue. After the fight in 2001 to be included as
a
question,this time it was only what kind of question and how the
training
should be conducted and how deep will we be able to go in training. In
states where there is a network of NGOs or where there are active
leaders ,
there has been less problems  as I have been reading on the list.
Before we advise our friends to go to court or before we think of
complaining lets always examine the facts impartially.
We have not been left out of the Census but I hope we are properly
counted.

Subject: [AI] Probable reason for not providing disability info in

Dear friends,

I have been following the discussion on why the info relating to
disability was not disclosed after the census.  While going through an
article of The Hindu, I came across the following line by Dr.
Chandramouli.

Provisional population is arrived at by adding
the population as reported by each enumerator, and the final
population data is likely to be released next year, Dr. Chandramouli
told journalists.

This coincides with what Srinivasu has got to know from an employee in
the concerned department.  Besides, apart from gender wise  and region
wise statistics, no other info has been provided till now.  So, it may
take sometime to come up with specific details like caste, religion ,,
income, and, may be disability.

But can someone clarify the above statement?  Honestly, I didn't
understand what Dr. Chandramouli meant by provisional data and final
data.

Input-ear and output-speaking is the slowest medium ,if tried to be

Whereas input-hand/feeling and output-speaking is faster and brain

The fastest medium which god gave us is off course input eyes and output

 Dear Friends,

 There are  a number of schools who refuse admission to disabled
students. 
 But I was really shocked to learn that a boy was denied admission to
some 
 of Mumbai schools simply because his mother is blind. The reasons
given is 
 how will the parent manage the child's homework. I think this is 
 ridiculous. The school must be stripped of their license.  This is
case of 
 a centre of learning behaving operating in the dark ages. Whether
there 
 should be home work at all is of course another matter of debate.

 I understand that there are schools in Delhi too who have turned
children

Thus from now on please collect and deposite Rs. 8450 and not 8300 in

*URGENT ATTENTION: HON'BLE PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA, DR. MANMOHAN SINGH
*

*Respected Sir,*
**

*The Union Budget was a huge disappointment for us, the 70 million
disabled
citizens of India.* And for not one but several reasons:



*1: Year 2011-2012 will be the last year of the current XIth Five Year
Plan.
We had sincerely hoped that funds would be earmarked for the National
Institute of Universal Design.* In the last Budget, funds were
sanctioned
for the Sign Language Research and Training Centre but this had got left
out. We were told that this was due to the lack of resources and we were
promised that next year and before the XIth Plan runs out, this
Institute
will also be sanctioned.



The Disability Act has been there for the last 15 years but the less
said
about accessibility the better. 98% of the constructions (post 1995) are
built in an inaccessible manner. Even the 2% which are supposed to be
accessible are not so due to the lack of awareness and expertise.



When I had served on the Steering Committee of the Planning Commission
to
draft the disability component of the XIth Five Year Plan, we had
envisioned
this Institute with the hope that once set up, it would serve as a
centre of
excellence on the issue of accessibility and universal design. Ideally,
it
should have been sanctioned in the very first year itself but it was
not! We
have followed up on this year after year after year with the PMO as well
as
the Urban Development Ministry but with no fruitful outcome.



*The setting up of the National Institute of Universal Design is a
solemn
promise made to the disabled people of India by the Planning Commission
under your Chairership. Sir, please ensure that it is fulfilled this
year.*



*2: The National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral
Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities was set up in 1999.
By
and large, it has failed in its mandate. Pre 1999, parents of children
with
severe disabilities were asking what will happen to our children after
us?. A dozen years have gone by, but the question remains unresolved.
Poor
leadership apart, one major reason for nothing substantial to have
happened
is the lack of resources.*



*The National Trust was set up with a Corpus of 100 crores. Believe it
or
not, Sir, 12 years have gone by but the Corpus stands as it is. It seems
that in the eye of your Government, especially MSJE, this particular
Institution is immune to inflation!* The Trust operates its various
schemes
from the interest that it earns from its Corpus, say about Rs. 8-9 or
maximum Rs. 10 crores per annum. That was the budget in 1999-2000 when
it
was set up. That remains its budget even over a decade later in
2010-2011
and now, thanks to Hon'ble Finance Minister's oversight, it will remain
the
same this F.Y. also.



*Sir, Hon'ble Finance Minister is quite fond of the figure 300 and he
admitted so much during the Budget speech. I request you, Sir, to please
impress upon him to sanction an additional Rs. 300 crores during this
F.Y.
to the Corpus of the National Trust. Now, it is all the more necessary
because under the new scheme of things, the mandate of the Trust is
going to
be expanded to include several other disabilities which also have High
Support Needs.*



An additional Rs. 300 crores would do wonders to this organisation meant
for
the most marginalised and the most severely disabled citizens of India.



*3: Hon'ble Finance Minister has been very generous in taking up the
Income
Tax exemption limit for 'Very Senior Citizens

 Mother Teresa (26 August 1910 – 5 September 1997), born Agnes Gonxha
 Bojaxhiu[1] (pronounced [aɡˈnɛs ˈɡɔndʒa bɔjaˈdʒiu]), was a Catholic
 nun of Albanian[2][3] ethnicity and Indian citizenship,[4] who founded
 the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India in 1950. For over 45
 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while
 guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout
 India and then in other countries. Following her death she was
 beatified by Pope John Paul II and given the title Blessed Teresa of
 Calcutta.[5][6]

 By the 1970s, she was internationally famed as a humanitarian and
 advocate for the poor and helpless, due in part to a documentary and
 book Something Beautiful for God by Malcolm Muggeridge. She won the
 Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honour, the
 Bharat Ratna, in 1980 for her humanitarian work. Mother Teresa's
 Missionaries of Charity continued to expand, and at the time of her
 death it was operating 610 missions in 123 countries, including
 hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy and tuberculosis,
 soup kitchens, children's and family counselling programs, orphanages,
 and schools.

 She has been praised by many individuals, governments and
 organizations; however, she has also faced a diverse range of
 criticism. These include objections by various individuals and groups,
 including Christopher Hitchens, Michael Parenti, Aroup Chatterjee,
 Vishva Hindu Parishad, against the proselytizing focus of her work
 including a strong stance against contraception and abortion, a belief
 in the spiritual goodness of poverty and alleged baptisms of the
 dying[citation needed]. Medical journals also criticised the standard
 of medical care in her hospices and concerns were raised about the
 opaque nature in which donated money was spent[citation needed]. In
 2010 on the 100th anniversary of her birth, she was honoured around
 the world, and her work praised by Indian President Pratibha Patil.[7]


 Early life

 Memorial House of Mother Teresa, in native Skopje.Part of a series on
 Christianity
 in India

 Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (gonxha meaning rosebud or little flower in
 Albanian) was born on 26 August 1910, in Üsküb, Ottoman Empire (now
 Skopje, capital of the Republic of Macedonia). Although she was born
 on 26 August, she considered 27 August, the day she was baptized, to
 be her true birthday.[8] She was the youngest of the children of a
 family from Shkodër, Albania, born to Nikollë and Drana Bojaxhiu.[9]
 Her father, who was involved in Albanian politics, died in 1919 when
 she was eight years old.[10] After her father's death, her mother
 raised her as a Roman Catholic. Her father, Nikollë Bojaxhiu (his name
 means 'painter') was of Kosovar Albanian origin possibly stemming from
 Prizren, Kosovo while her mother's origin was possibly from a village
 near Đakovica, Kosovo.[11]

 According to a biography by Joan Graff Clucas, in her early years
 Agnes was fascinated by stories of the lives of missionaries and their
 service in Bengal, and by age 12 was convinced that she should commit
 herself to a religious life.[12] Her final resolution was taken on
 August 15, 1928, while praying at the shrine of the Black Madonna of
 Letnice, where she often went on pilgrimage.[13]

 She left home at age 18 to join the Sisters of Loreto as a missionary.
 She never again saw her mother or sister.[14]

 Agnes initially went to the Loreto Abbey in Rathfarnham

Hi Prateek
To my understanding there is one solution of this problem. Once such 
circular is issued by the supreme authority in this case say RBI or IBA,

then all head offices of the bank should put a seal and sign or whatever
to 
show that the circular is being implemented in their bank, and then the 
final copy should be circulated amongst people. The reason for this is
only 
one. Any bank staff demands their own bank's circular. So this can be

Hi akhil,
I think you no need to apologize for asking this important question.
No matter how many times this question has come on the list and
answered, the unfortunate part is that the same problem keep
persisting again and again with someone or the other amongst us.
Coming to your problem,
Its ridiculous  why these banks makes such specious decisions when it
comes to a visually challenged person.
From experience I can tell you that its very much possible to open
individual account in any bank, and that too with no special document
or formality.
We have the wonderful RBI circular and IBA guidelines supporting this,
and as you must be knowing, one can obtain all the services of a bank
which are being provided to any other customer.
The said circular and guideline is available on my website for
download.
You might like to visit my website at
www.prateekagarwal.webs.com
or
www.prateekagarwal.tk

One thing that I'd like to advise you in this regard is, please try
talking to bank manager regarding the denial.
Also, show them the circular and if still the problem persists,  ask
the respective authority to give you a written statement about basis
of denial.
We'll see further from there.

A bit away from the context, i'm wondering if something in general can
be done regarding this aggravating problem.
Since we have many NGOs and their representatives on this list, can a
program like this be designed to spread the awareness in bank
employees?

i often believe that the problem is more about lack of awareness then
anything else, and though legal fight is an option, but in my personal
opinion, spreading awareness and changing people's attitude  can prove
more important and handy.

I'll be happy to work in association if some NGOs  are willing to run
such an awareness
campaign.
At least I can try helping in spreading such an awareness in rajasthan.

Yu are right about compensation to blind pedestrian  victim of an

LIC always refused to afford accident rider to insurance policies of a

Accident rider involves paying some minimal extra amount and getting
double
the ensured amount in case of accidental death.
However, this was explicitly denied to VI policy holders despite
communications from LIC chief about no discrimination in insurance to
VI.
Namdev has put it into past, but I think at present also, this is the
situation.
It is purely arbitrary and not explicitly sanctioned as no insurance

My brother-in-law however got accident coverage at his demise as they

 Dear Subhashji and others,
 I have been struggling with this issue. I have no clear answer. I
 simply want to briefly present a senario. It is although true that in
 some cases, if we disclose our identity in advance, then we can expect
 some arrangements for us before we reach at that place. However, a
 contrary fact is that in India as well as outside, many times it had
 happened with me that I could make my way in the mainstream without
 declaring my disability. Thanks to for example internet communication
 in some cases and due to the norm of confidentiality in others. I was
 selected for various things based on my performance. Therefore, in
 such cases, generally what happens is that people come to know about
 my disability not before I have established my credencials. When they
 come to know about it, then some times they are amused to find a
 visually impaired in that role, which would lead to quite a lot of
 admiration for me by them. Whilst at some other occasions, I have
 realized that as soon as they come to know about my disability, they
 start showing biased attitude. (I have skipped examples, because I am
 in a hurry.) However, as you can see, in both kinds of cases, mention
 of my disability has created difference in the attitude of others
 towards me. I am not saying that because of this reason, we should or
 we can hide our disability. However, the concern is somewhat
 different. I am worried that the centralized storage of data and an
 increasingly mendatory situation of its demonstration should not lead
 to a situation where it becomes for an individual disabled to apply
 his mind and decide where it is favorable or dangerous to mention
 his/her disability in a world which is surely full of biased atitudes.

 Sadly that is not so. Its not only for the disabled but of the
disabled
 also wanting this. The degree of social acceptance of different 
 disabilities
 is different and this is a harsh truth. While those with visual 
 impairments
 may be keen in getting their disability included on UID but those with
few
 other disabilities have not been comfortable in declaring the same on
the
 face of it for the fear of discrimination and other obvious reasons.

 Another reason that I see is that not all disabilities enumerated in
the 
 PWD
 Act have got benefited from being declared as  a Person with
disability
 except few. Thus for them, including it on the UID carries no benefit.
On
 the contrary, they fear this might lead to discrimination.

 May be UID representatives/Mr. Asif could answer the specific reason
as to
 why this was dropped and what can be done to salvage it  at least for 
 those
 who are willing and want to include this.

 Computer knowledge is always additional advantage .

 The above suggestion is purely on experience as I am also M.B.A with
 information systems and marketing as specialization but none supported
 in job specially for VI.

2011-01-20 Thread Pankaj Kwatra
Hello All,

I am not in favor of austere comments and preposterous comparisons but
we have right to freedom of speech and expressions in our country. We
have a mechanism or system of talking about opulent society but weaker
and less privileged sections are left behind. The nation cannot build
with fraction of people , it will have to carry all sections of society
along leading to inclusive growth.

Please come out of stigma and prejudices of huge cost as disabled
without much support have come so far so to be recognized. We are
talking about E-learning , education and technology not specially
designed for PWD but still they have managed to break the shell and use
it efficiently.

Let's keep on doing good.

Subject: Re: [AI] [Arkitect India] Responding to challenged people's
needs.

I take serious objections to Pankaj's irresponsible statements. The
arguments made by Rama (Prof. Agnihotri) and George are no doubt very
important and concrete. However, let me raise a completely different
point, particularly because Pankaj has the general habit of beating
the same drum with the same stick every time: money, money and money!
Therefore, even the initial argument I am going to make is a
utilitarian one, because it may serve at least the purpose of the
present debate. Let me ask Pankaj, what is the alternative? Whether
our 'poor' nation would then continue to feed (or not feed) ten
percent of the total population as a liability? If they are not given
education, surely they would remain a liability as beggars on the
street. Would that be economically, socially, politically and
ethically a viable alternative? Or that you would like to suggest the
total extermination of such people following the lines of Hitler's
regime?
Surely, there are ways where only sensitivity, and not extra money,
can make infrastructure disabled friendly, Rama has already given the
example of strait paths. Further, what extra cost you need to create
ramps instead of the conventional staircases?
Further, developments for disabled may also be beneficial for others
as well. For example, if you decide to switch over (as part of a
long-term policy) to e-text of books, articles and newspapers, it will
save environment. At the same time would enable the visually impaired
in particular and other disableds in general to enjoy the fruits of
this literary and knowledge production at par with others. It is also
an attractive facility for even the normative persons, who are behind
the creation of e-libraries. Is it than costlier than environment?
Still, it is true that there may be requirements which ask for extra
money, but there are two important issues to remember here. First,
this is an investment. George has already given examples of the
contribution of disabled in the mainstream and we can multiply it many
times. Let us not forget the fact that even the technique of concrete
roads, (an essential requirement of progress in the modern era was
developed by a blind engineer. Moreover, teachers like me (himself
disabled) have been teaching the non-disabled students. Pankaj,
Britain has witnessed a blind even in the role of the minister for
education.
Second, disability is more than a mere natural deficiency. People like
Pankaj, so called normative human beings have design the world
according to their own requirements. Hence it is not our fault and
therefore we will no longer pay for it. Who asked you to base your
education on the written word? If this would have been different,
surely blind and hearing impaired would have more easily made their
way.
Let me also share with Pankaj and his like-minded people that due to
improvements in medical science (which can now save people from great
injuries and accidents, but very often such survivors become disable),
the number of disabled is rising across the globe. What will be your
strategy then? Let us not forget that every human body is only
temporarily able and it can acquire disability any time. Moreover,
Pankaj, you are also missing the triangular connection between
poverty, disability and education. Further, if concern for disabled is
a special interest as you have suggested, then one should ask why the
concern for poor is not so?
I no that you would remain firm in your characteristic insensitivity,
because it is not the power of logic, which changes mindset, rather it
is faith, trust and compassion, which is required to understand the
pain of others. Moreover, any text is open for different
interpretations. Therefore, you would be able to still find some
economist arguments to counter what all is written here. However,
education is our equal fundamental right with all other citizens,
because

Re: [AI] FW: one law versus common law width other specific laws

2011-01-17 Thread Pankaj Kwatra
Hello All,

I will go for multiple law rather than one law reason stated below:

1.Multiple law will cover specific needs for example a blind person will
have different requirements for education, employment and other benefits
as compared to any other PWD.
2.Common law can never cover all types of disability, all of which face
absolutely different challenges in persuing life.

3. Multiple law will make easier for all government authorities to act
swiftly and correctly and it will benefit judiciary for decision making
.

4.Favouring less disabled will be checked- referring to percentage of
disability. I believe education, jobs and facilities differ in this
sector as per convenience of agency.

The whole purpose of law should be to cover specific needs of non
homogenous group and no section in PWD should be left behind , as
specific caste also fights for reservation- referring to latest
agitation in one of the state.

I will come up with more feedback.

Thank you,

Subject: one law versus common law widh other specific laws

dear harish, kindly circulate my mail on access india on the
above subject as under:
it is indeed a matter of great concern that the intellectual
classes have divided opinion on the subject at a moment which is
very crucial as the authorities may take advantage of our
fragmented views on having a single law or common law with
specific laws to address the needs of various classes of
disability.  my argument are as under:
1.
has the existence of national trust act and RCI act together with
PWD act created any division among the persons with disability?
have the different acts for SC and ST created any division
amongst any of the classes of society? as a matter of fact, we
must understand that as we go down the hierarchy of
commonalities more and more acts would be required.  each act
addresses the common objects.  for example, if we go by the
theory of one act, it is self-contradictory as there exists the
Constitution of India which, through its various articles,
addresses the common goals of equality etc.  advocacy of one law
is like having a hand without fingers and thumb.  division in the
disability sector would come not by having multi-acts but by
giving more advantages to one group than the rest.  as a matter
of fact, having separate acts for specific needs will give more
power to the concerned group to put forth his views before the
government and society.  how can one think of achieving, for
example, the objectives of RCI under the one-act theory!
 2.  i think the concept of single-window sollution is like
shopping in a mall where you collect items and wait in a long
queue for billing.  there also, you need to pay for some
important items on the counter itself from where you pick them,
say, jewellery, food items, and so on.  having multi-law system
would accomodate specific needs of PWDS and monitoring mechanism
would function with enhanced perfection if it has to concentrate
on parts rather than the whole.
3.  have the implementation of SC and ST act, at and even PWD act
at all increased the stigma or have these acts at all isolated
these classes from the society! as a matter of fact, the
implementation of all these acts have brought these specific
classes into the mainstream.  having specific law to address the
specific needs of a particular disability actually increases the
awareness of hurdles as well as achievements of that specific
class.  stigma of being a disabled, or coming from the SC ST
classes can be removed only by way of education and increased
awareness.
4.  having a user-friendly common law for all kinds of disability
will undoubtedly lead to enormous confusion.  no PWD will be able
to find the correct provisions for his disability specific needs.
of course, common issues must be addressed by one law but there
must be specific laws for specific needs.  you cannot use one
tool to build a house! having one act will become a weapon in the
hands of government to dislocate the cause of disabled rather
than empowering them.
5.  so far as having an equality law like UK is concerned, mr.
pincha has rightly drawn attention to other disability specific
laws of great britain.  I would like to add: wasn't UN charter
enough to address the cause of humanity, why has it come up with
so many conventions including UNCRPAID.  why are we at all
talking about harmonising our PWD act with UNCRPAID!
6.  having one law is like having a tree

Hi,
The below news item says Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa has called
upon Information Technology (IT) companies to provide employment to
persons with disabilities as part of their corporate social
responsibility.

From the head of a state, should not we expect the paradigm shift in his
approach at disability, to look at skilled PwDs as potential workforce
which too can meet industry's requirements, instead of thinking to
recruit them as a social responsibility.

Sometimes I feel it should be advocated that the word disability should
be replaced with impairment. Word 'Impairment' neutrally indicates only
the not normal function at sensory or physical level, and does not
presume anything about the abilities of the person. 
Similary in Hindi the word 'Viklaang' to my mind is more objective than
the word 'Nishakt'.

Changing the nomenclature which objectively defines the state also is
important to bring a change in how the world thinks about the state.

regards,

Pranay.

Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa has called upon Information Technology
(IT) companies to provide employment to persons with disabilities as
part of their corporate social responsibility.

Speaking at the inaugural function of the national conference on 'IT
for persons with disabilities', organised by the Department of
Information Technology, Biotechnology, and Science  Technology, here
on Monday, Mr. Yeddyurappa said that the law mandated reservation of 3
per cent jobs in the Government sector for persons with disabilities.
Though no such provision existed in the private sector, the IT sector
was capable of providing employment to persons with disabilities who
were literate, he said.

Fifty-two per cent of persons with disabilities were literate,
according to the 2001 Census. The IT sector could fruitfully employ
such persons in Business Process Outsourcing units (BPO), Information
Technology Enabled Services (ITES) and for software development and
technical writing.

He cited the example of companies such as IBM, Wipro and Microsoft,
which were employing persons with disabilities.

Of the 7 lakh jobs expected to be created as part of the deals signed
during the recent Global Investors Meet in Bangalore, as many as 3
lakh were in the IT sector.

Mr. Yeddyurappa expressed optimism over the creation of another 4
million jobs through the proposed Information Technology Investment
Region (ITIR) near Devanahalli.

He also called upon IT companies to make their workplaces
disabled-friendly.

Higher Education Minister V.S. Acharya, who also holds additional
charge of IT and BT Department, lamented that precious little had been
done for the benefit of persons with disabilities.

Neither had they been provided job opportunities nor had a
barrier-free environment been created for their benefit, he said.

He reiterated the Chief Minister's appeal to the private sector to
provide employment to persons with disabilities.

Executive Director of Karnataka Knowledge Commission M.K. Sridhar, who
delivered the keynote address, emphasised the need for companies which
employed persons with disabilities not to view the gesture as
charity but as their right.

Out of the 600 million disabled persons worldwide, as much as 80 per
cent lived in developing countries, he said.

Dear Friends
All good wishes for 2011! 
There has been a great deal of debate amongst some of you in the
disability sector about the mandate of the Committee.The Committee has
been asked to do a particular task by the Ministry, and we are only
intent on completing it to the best of our ability.  The mandate of the
Committee is only to replace the existing PWD Act and bring it in in
harmonisation with the CRPD. 
The Committee has recommended to the Ministry that other legislations
have also to be brought in consonance with the CRPD.  In what sequence
the process of amendment/ harmonization is to happen is not for this
Committee but the Ministry to decide. 
The Committee has been given an extension till 31st March to complete it
work. The proposed National and State Level consultations will take
place within February followed by consultations with a legal panel. The
State level Consultations will be done through the National Trust SNAC
Centres/ Disability Commissioners offices in partnership with a State
level DPO/NGO who will be invited to the National consultation. The
dates will be communicated to all of you as soon as they are finalised.

Any query beyond the mandate given to the Committee should be directed
to the Ministry.
Please send your suggestions on the present working draft directly to me
and I will ensure that the Committee  discusses these and gives a
feedback to you.
I would request all of you to be part of this proactive process.

Hello All,

We appreciate industrious and credible effort put by each committee
members. I am of a view that it is indispensable to give more time to
law   and thought process as law gives guidelines which in turn leads to
policy framework and implementation.

The present law of 1995 is to be analyzed in line to shortfalls in
implementation and communication which is interpreted differently by
various agencies.

The new law should cover complete life span fowls which in turn divides
into various stages starting from education, right from primary to
professional and I believe a group of qualified and experienced members
should be assigned for each stage .The members have to be meticulous
about each detail gathered by primary and secondary data.

The next stage would be employment, I believe PWD with lot of hardships
get professionally qualified to know no job exist for them or various
hurdles are put in employment.

The last stage covers all benefits to Pads.

I would like to sum up that as a citizen of India  ,I should not be left
behind in any aspect of life.

Please spare me for any pedestrian comments.

Dear Harish and other friends of AI family,

Since, I am a member of this family and have learnt a lot from you all
and 
cherished lot of good moments and thoughts and since I am a member of
the 
Committee constituted by the Ministry of Social Justice  Empowerment
(MSJ  
E) to draft a new act to replace the PWD act, in consonance and harmony
with 
the provisions of UNCRPD, I felt that I should share the happenings in
the 
above committee.  I don't want to enter in to any controversy and I
don't 
belong to any group, except being the Secretary General of NAB (India)
and 
myself, visually challenged.

The committee was constituted by the ministry in April with the above 
mandate, but was expanded with more disabled members, as many persons
and 
NGOs insisted that the committee should have more representation
disabled 
members. For example, Mr. Kaul of AICB met the minister and requested
him to 
have at least one of the chiefs of the three national level blindness 
institutions, to be included. He, in fact,strongly suggested my name. A 
common letter from NFB, AICB and NAB (India), signed by Mr. Santosh
Rungta, 
Mr. J. L. Kaul and myself, in this regard was submitted to the ministry
and 
I was included accordingly in June 2010. I wish to clarify this, as some

others were trying to take credit for this, as if they had done me some 
favor. You all know that I am least interested in any position and
glory, 
but will do anything possible to benefit Visually challenged.

The committee was decomposed in to many smaller groups to focus on
specific 
topics and later, the entire committee will look at all the provisions
of 
various groups. I was involved in employment, Social security and now in

Financials.

The groups met among themselves in July and August, met the legal
consultant 
in turn, to discuss the legality of various suggestions and finished
their 
work, sometime in September 2010 and this was discussed at NALSAR in 
details.

Please note that, when the committee met the civil society for the first

time, the members of various groups, actually had not gone through the 
entire act and therefore, couldn't explain or defend the same. While, I 
strongly felt that the committee should finish its mandate and then the 
entire act should be discussed in the full committee and then we should
face 
the civil society, though some other members felt that the civil society

should be asked to give its comments. In anycase, we went to the civil 
society consultations.

During the consultations, many members made very concrete suggestions,
but I 
felt that we should have taken a little more time in studying and 
understanding the entire act and then interact with the civil society,
so 
that the interaction would have been more meaningful and some of the
members 
of the civil society wouldn't have got the feeling that the committee is
not 
unanimous on its views.

It was agreed that the legal consultants will work on the draft and the
same 
would be discussed in the full committee meeting on 26 and 27 November,
2010 
and it will be notified in the end of November, which will followed by
civil 
society consultations on 7 and 8 of December and then the state level 
consultations. At least, when I went through the draft of December, I
felt 
that some provisions have not come, the way we had discussed and
suggested. 
I was of the feeling that the changes will have to be discussed with the

legal consultants.

We are fully aware that an attempt is being made to replace the PWD act

Yes. But the dangerous thing is that Braille is being pushed aside from
our 
day-to-day life and surfacing as something very advanced and high-tech,
thus 
becoming gradually inaccessible to the visually impaired masses.

Hello All,

3 percent for PH, in absence of correct data for PWD at present. This
percentage level will remain same or there is any chance of increasing
number of posts for PWD and with 27 posts ,we will also have backlog.
What about sub categories in PH . A PH candidate can also belong to
SC/ST/OBC ,so any advantage of vacancies.

Re: [AI] only for the job fair

2010-12-14 Thread Pankaj Kwatra
Hello All,

I feel any NGO doing some work for handicap community must be
appreciated. We have to learn from our experiences, please remember
first time is not always last chance. The private sector is not very
opened to physically challenged people, the reason can be awareness both
from government and private bodies. We need to have some regulations in
place, things are changing but patience is required. NGOs can avoid lot
of candidates in job fair which can be done with screening of
application in line to company requirement.

Once a person is placed, the actual work starts to prove his/her worth
to company .I believe lot of people leave as they could not cope up with
corporate environment. We have to support physically challenged
community as people have lot of talent or immense potential, only if
given a chance and we all strive and look forward for that single
opportunity.

Lets keep doing good work rest leave everything behind.

Rakesh,
Specific to your poinnt someone not willing to use NVDA, I think, he
is right. It's his choice what screen reader he would want to use as
long as he has all required skills. Although, companies do not like to
make more investment, if a candidate has desired skills and improves
their business significantly, then no matter how expensive the
additional support they will be provided.

Having said that, if there is any possibility we should try and avoid
additional investment to a company. But as I said, it's a choice.

 Hi,

 Agree with you all.  But when a candidate hasn't got the required
 qualifications for the jobs the company has announced, the candidate
 should not be called at all, instead of calling him just to increase
 the strength of the attendance.

 I am not talking about the current case, as I know nothing about it.
 But I attended a job fair for disabled at Delhi, going all the way
 from Tirupati, in 2008 where my experience was not that great.  I
 clearly wrote in my resume that I am working as a lecturer and my
 academics are in finance and marketing.

 I was given a list of companies whose interviews I can attend.

 1.  One company said they are not looking for people from teaching
 background.

 2.  Another company said they don't have anyone from finance
 department to take my interview.

 3.  Third company said I was over qualified for the job they have
announced.

 4.  Fourth company said they don't have any openings in finance field.

 Besides, there were a few big MNCs who conducted exams for some posts.
  When I told them that I wanted a scribe, they told me that I need not
 write the exam.  I thought they exempted me from writing the exam, but
 later came to know that they exempted me from the recruitment.

 I totally accept with all the companies.  But my only concern was
 that, had I been told all this before hand, I wouldn't have gone all
 the way from Tirupati to Delhi.

 And I totally accept that, any criticism, whether bear or
 constructive, should be directed to the concerned parties and not on
 public platforms.

Re: [AI] Mobile banking set to get a boost from IMPS

Hello,

This sounds great as seeing mobile attachment with people now a days and
mobile queries in access india but only concern is security, will it be
able to replicate secured internet transaction as mobile is used for
different purposes.

Few days back I was trying to do something with nokia map after reading
Harish email but after few minutes figured battery down from 7 bars to 4
bars.

Happy surfing, navigating and so onkeep a eye on battery also.

Cheers,

Pankaj

Dear Bhaiya:
Interbank moble payment system is launched by National Payment
Corporation of India.
Currently if I am right, then there are 7 banks participating in 
this system, including the big market player SBI. More 16 are in 
process, and 22 other banks will be participating soon.
In this system, as of now, Java based applications have got this 
functionality of transfering funds into participating banks of this 
system, and as the talks grow more with the mobile operators, soon 
SMS based services will be available free of cost. Currently banks I 
think are charging 50 paisa along with the rates of SMS which should 
be 3 rupees per SMS. As I mentioned, trai is trying to get it reduced.
In this system, a user is alotted a unique MMID, full form is mobile 
money ID if I remember, along with the registered number for mobile
banking.
So say if I have account in SBI, and I have to transfer funds to 
your YES bank account, I will give your mobile number and MMID which 
you will provide me, after security checks are completed, funds will 
be debeted to your account. It'ss almost realtime process, complaint 
mechanism is also setup by banks in order to ease the process.
For any further doubt, do get in touch with me.
Regards
Amar Jain.

The service will help banks offer money transfer in seven seconds

The latest security measures are put in place

CHENNAI: Customers will now be able to transfer money from their
accounts to any other account in the country using their 
cellphones, through the National
Payment Corporation of India's Inter-bank Mobile Payment Service 
(IMPS). The facility allows transactions without the need for a 
computer or an Internet-enabled
phone.

Experts say the service introduces a new form of
customer-friendliness that a developing ICT nation like India 
requires. The Telecom Regulatory Authority
of India records more than 670 million registered mobile 
subscribers; with the penetration of Internet technologies through 
mobile phones being higher
than the spread of the Internet through broadband connections, the 
service, they reckon, is expected to boost banking transactions 
better than Internet
banking.

Though the Internet banking services are user-friendly, they are
actually restricted to a limited number of tech-savvy, 
English-speaking Internet users
in the country. With the IMPS, the mobile phone, which is 
ubiquitous, becomes a handier device for the average user, says 
Nishant Shah, director (research),
Centre for Internet and Security.

The service provides an inter-operable infrastructure for banks to
offer a real-time money transfer facility to customers through 
mobile phones in seven
seconds, says A.P. Hota, CEO and Managing Director of the NPCI. The 
mobile fund transfers offered by banks and technology providers 
take 24 hours, and
are allowed only if the sender and the receiver hold accounts in 
the same bank, a hiccup the IMPS seeks to overcome.

With mobile phone-based applications popular and more inclusive in
their reach, Mr. Shah says, it might be not only more far-reaching 
to have banking services
available through encrypted SMS systems, because it is a medium 
that people are familiar with, but also the application-based 
systems are going to benefit
a lot of people, especially who live in areas with inadequate 
access to banking systems.

Citing South Africa and the Philippines where the IMPS has been
successfully launched, experts say the banking and telecom sectors 
are equipped with the
