Re: [AI] Concession in interstate roadways

[Santosh Singh]

Hi,

UDID card is presently not valid across India but this may change in future.
Even in the same state from where your UDID card is  issued may not be
accepted by every government department to avail facilities as they
continue to use the disability certificate system.

Here in Maharashtra now they have started to accept UDID card for providing
railway connecssions but i am not sure if the same is accepted to issue
concession tickets for outstation journey.

regards

Santosh

Re: [AI] HP quota

[Santosh Singh]

Dear Rajesh,

Even I have faced this situation as described in your email.

I guess the reasons could be anyone from the below mentioned points

(1) Indian Railways reserve 4 berths in Sleeper and 2 berths in 3 AC
coaches.Many OH and HH people who book their ticket under this quota have
opted for without escort option as they are comfortable travelling alone.
Hence the last handicapped berth may or may not be available with  berth
for escort.Further Madras High court has directed Southern Railways to
allow OH people to book tickets with or without escort. Earlier booking
ticket  with escort was compulsory hence now many such OH have opted
without escort option if they  can manage and want to travel alone.

(2) The problem of not getting tickets in 3AC coach is even more severe
because only 2 berths are reserved. If the first is booked as without
escort option then for next booking the escort might get a wait listed
ticket or may be in some other coach.

I hope I have answered your query.

Re: [AI] disablity coach missing in newly modified trains

[Santosh Singh]

Dear Ravi,

I second your thoughts with regards to replies from certain members with
their sarcastic remarks.

We want equal opportunities in education,  employment, property rights . In
these important matters we want equality but at the same time  we should
not forget about our handicaps and it is here the govt should step with
accessibility and reasonable accommodation so that we get a chance to
compete with world on a equal footing.

We really need such exclusive coaches for PwD and railways should not
forget this in process of modernisation.

Both Mumbai metro and Delhi metro have seats exclusively reserved for PwD
in their coaches but during peak hours or sometimes otherwise these seats
are occupied by normal passengers. You have to wait till their conscience
wakes up to your physical requirements. Sometimes the normal passengers
refuse to vacate.This could have been avoided by providing a separate coach
for the PwD.

In my opinion we can lodge a complaint with https://pgportal.gov.in and
monitor the action status with help of RTI
So please file the greviance with proper train numbers etc to PMO and
Railway Ministry.This should be the first option.

The next we can do is file a PIL through state legal services authority.I
believe the advocate charges are nil or very less.

Re: [AI] Election Commission To Provide Pick-Up, Drop Facility To Disabled Voters - TOI

[Santosh Singh]

As of now there is no way for the election commission to know the list of
PwD voters in a particular constituency hence implementing this order is
next to impossible. There is no asking for disability information when one
fills the online application for a voter ID card.

Re: [AI] SBI clerical: blind stuck between general and VI cut off

[Santosh Singh]

Dear Rajeshji,

Although there are guidelines which allows reserved candidates with
disabilities to be adjusted against unreserved vacancies if they qualify as
per general quota merit but it's hardly implemented in spirit. The govt
recruitment agencies always invent some reason to not follow this rule with
reasonings like  candidate has availed time concession, scribe , exemption
from typing test, exemption from physical endurance test so according to
them such candidates are to be considered only under Disability quota as
they availed certain facilities which are exclusively extended to
candidates under disability quota. There are several court orders that
confirms availing facility of scribe or time concession doesn't amount to
relaxation in standard of suitability. These facilities are reasonable
accommodation which can be availed under whatever category you have applied
for but should have a qualifying disability. Things like typing,  physical
endurance test are only of qualifying nature and they are not awarded any
marks in most of the exams.

I remember the latest guidelines for conduct of examination of PwD issued
by Railways after enactment of the new disability act clearly mentions that
candidates for group d jobs (class 4)  are not to be  considered under
general quota even if they score above general merit cutoff as they are
exempted from qualifying the Physical efficiency test (running).

Re: [AI] Require information as how to get the railway concession form id

[Santosh Singh]

Hi,

I assume you have a railway concession form issued by a government hospital
where you get the disability certificate.

To get a railway concession ID you need to visit the divisional railway
manager office in whose jurisdiction your residential address falls. They
will verify your original disability certificate and concession form and
return you. You will be asked to fill up a single page application form and
attach address proof , 2 copy of passport size photo,  copy of disability
certificate and concession certificate. They will give you an
acknowledgement of submission of your application. Usually they will ask
you to come back after 2 months with this acknowledgement slip, original
copy of disability and concession certificate. After 2 months you will get
a railway concession id card with your photo , disability details and
signed and stamped by concerned railway authority. This railway concession
id card will have a clear mention of validity dates that saves you the
hassle of convincing the ticket booking clerk. Most of the times ticket
booking clerk don't understand the validity dates as it's clearly not
mentioned on the concession form. The validity changes as per applicants
age and when the concession certificate was issued. One point you should
remember is that railway concession id card validity is for 5 years. After
5 years you have to repeat the entire procedure.

Once you are in possession of this card you can book your concession ticket
from irctc website and you don't need to visit the ticketing counter
everytime you want to book tickets. This card has a unique  alphanumeric
code or identity number that is required to be filled in when you book
concession ticket on irctc.

Hope, I have answered your question.

Please reply in case of any confusion.

Re: [AI] Documents

[Santosh Singh]

Hi Vedika,

Online disability certificate is a new computerised disability certificate
started couple of years back. This online certificate has all your details
printed and whatever percentage is decided by the software.The doctor just
need to enter your disability details on
https://sadm.maharashtra.gov.in/sadm/en/enHome.gov
.This type of onlime certificate is available in all the district level
hospital. Previously the old certificates had the disability details and
percentage  mentioned manually by examining doctor. The old certificates
are still valid but it's better we opt for new online certificate by
getting ourselves re-examined by civil surgeon. unoffically some people say
that your Aadhaar number is linked with the online certificate. Once you
get an online certificate in one state you can not get a new online
certificate from other state inindia as state govt share the details
with central govt and they have a mechanism in place to check for multiple
online certificates for same person.i advise you to apply for online
certificate as many govt organisation reject your disability certificate at
time of document verification. I have personally witnessed this happening
with one railway exam candidate. He was asked to get himself re-examined by
the civil surgeon and submit the disability certificate in latest format.

Unique disability ID or Swawlamban card is a new initiative by Ministry of
Social Justice and Empowerment,  New Delhi which can be generated by
applying online at http://www.swavlambancard.gov.in/

After applying you will get a credit card size Unique disability card which
is equivalent to your computerised online certificate and also valid across
all over India. In future disability certificate is going to be phased out
and unique disability card will be used for availing all disability
benefits.
NOTE: If you have the old manual type certificate then your application for
unique card will be rejected. My application for disability card was
rejected for this reason.

The railway concession card is a credit card size card issued by the
nearest Divisional Railway Manager,Commercial Department which is close to
your place of residence. You can use this card for online booking of
concession tickets for people with disability. If you dont have such card
then for getting concession tickets you have to visit the reservation
counter along with copy of  railway concession certificate.In Mumbai you
can apply at CST or Mumbai Central DRM office. There is format of
application and one needs to submit along with self attested copies of
disability certificate, your address proof, Railway concession certificate.
Once your documents are verified then card will be issued in your name.
Validity of this card is dependent on your validity of your railway
concession certificate.

I hope this clears your doubts.

Re: [AI] Need contact details of railway department in hyderabad bavan:

[Santosh Singh]

Hi,

You can place an RTI query on https://rtionline.gov.in

You will definitely get a proper reply.

On this website you have to select the appropriate  Railway. I think it
will be south east or south Central Railway.  You don't need to know the
exact authority. Upon receipt of rti query it will be forwarded to
concerned department for prompt action.

Re: [AI] Kindel and Hindi

[Santosh Singh]

Hello,

I would add few more questions on this topic

(1) Does Kindle have accessibility features(voice over feature) like Apple
iphone.Recently I saw the accessibility feature mentioned in kindle oasis
readers but it is still not clear what do they mean by accessibility. It
could just be an magnifier tool or contrast control etc.
(2)In case kindle readers have an accessibility feature like Iphones then
are they able to read images after OCR.
(3)I have heard kindle can be used for  browsing the Web pages/ Internet.
Does it allow installation of apps fromamazon or any other app store?

Re: [AI] Regarding Universal disability Identity cards

[Santosh Singh]

I had applied for this card around 6 months back and received a email
update confirming that my application was rejected as the disability
certificate that I uploaded was a hand written.my certificate was issued in
2012 by a central government institute in Mumbai. My name and disability
details were hand written by the certifying medical board. Now the
swalamban card dept has advised me on the email to apply afresh with a
computerised certificate which can be obtained from district level civil
hospital. I believe the computerised disability  certificate is being
insisted  upon as it is already linked to your aadhar number.

So conclusion is that it could take 6 months to get a response and one
needs to have the latest computerised disability certificate from civil
hospital.

i agree with your point and we are just left to approach the CAT or

discourages a person to approach the CCPD court.Also everyone doesn't

Re: [AI] Need attention on below matter on partiality of government in recruitment.

[Santosh Singh]

Dear Vaibhav,
The point that you have just high lighted is a matter of serious concern.
All categories of disability requires equal representation. What needs to be 
done is proper identification of jobs considering the latest medical & 
technical developments.
I just want to inform you that largest PSU Indian Railways says that VH 
candidates are not suitable for technical jobs. I remember a sentence from an 
RTI reply that said "since this is a technical post there is a no reservation 
for candidates with VH disability. However i am not sure if this rule is still 
followed by the railways.
Basically what you have high lighted is open discrimination amongst different 
categories of disabilities and this needs to be challenged in appropriate High 
Court.

Subject: [AI] Need attention on below matter on partiality of government in
  recruitment. 

Hi All,

I want to draw your attention on the very important point . That could be
helpful for few those who are looking job in technical department under
government of india.   Since last few years I have been observed that HPCL,
IOCL, BPCL, BEL , ONGC  and more government companies are recruiting
candidates for technical and engineering department through GATE exam. They
are hiring person with disability but only OH and HH . They don't hires VH
not even Low vision . Why this is so ?. In their advertisement they do
mentioned clearly that  3% sits are reserved for person with disability .
But in details they are mentioning that only OH or HH candidates are
suitable .. means VH candidates are at all not suitable for these kind of
roles ..why these differences are ?  Those doing engineering and are
visually impaired what is their future of government companies are behaving
like this ...

Who has given rights to those organization for not to hire visual handicap
..

On what basis they are saying only HH and OH are suitable ..

They are not following the government order of hiring each and every
category of disabled equally ...

I want your suggestion on this ..
Attached is HPCL advertisement of hiring engineers on the basis of GATE
2017 but don't have openings for VH its happening since last few years
( my personal views since 2014 )

Is there any governing body who can answer on it .

Where can we ask our doubts on this ...

Looking forward for your genuine response...

Thanks
Vaibhav kasar

Re: [AI] CCPD and accessibility

[Santosh Singh]

The CCPD court is handled by Babus and don't expect them to be very
sensitive to problems faced by the Visually impaired. They correspond by
letters like any Govt body. You are lucky to have received an email reply.
In my 2 years of followup i never received an email reply.

Plus this court has very limited power although many higher courts have
given it status of civil court.Recently Delhi high court has ordered CCPD
court can not decide matters of promotion.
I have even heard from a lawyer that CCPD court can not order remedical
board in recruitment disputes.

One of the employee of office of CCPD has confided that we only try to
interpret the existing rules to arrive at a decision but if the case
demands to challenge/contest an existing rule of govt then you will have to
approach the high court.
At a personal level they understand and acknowledge our problems but they
are helpless as the present as well as the new disability act doesn't
provide them enough teeth to address such problems.

So my suggestion is to directly approach CAT or  High court

Hi everyone,

I have been helping a friend pursue a case with the CCPD regarding his
university, and it is appalling that the documents that are sent by
the commission are completely inaccessible. Even though we could use
OCR to convert the document and somehow understand it, we sent them a
letter, hoping that they would be alerted to this, and would figure
out a more accessible solution than sending scanned copies of letters
in the future. To the very contrary, they sent another reply to our
email, which is again completely inaccessible. When an organization
that works for people with disabilities behaves like this, I don't
know what to expect from the others. I realize there's no point just
criticizing it, and I'm hoping to write an email to them again-I just
couldn't resist sharing.

Best,

Re: [AI] Complaint

[Santosh Singh]

I have personally used Namo App as well as writting letters to Prime
Minister's postal address for raising my greviances related to violation of
Disability Act and in my opinion it is an useless app. The public is fooled
into believing that their PM is personally monitoring all the greviances
and expect a personal attention from the most powerfull man of India.

Whatever input you provide as greviance is received in an inbox which is
monitored and taken care off by a govt staffer. Now the action depends on
the understanding, experience & perception of the govt staffer who handles
and forwards these complaints to appropriate department.

Secondly the offline letter reply that you receive later is directly from
the concerned department pertaining to your greviance and you will also
receive an sms confirmation of complaint or case no. the day you register
your greivance on namo app.

There is no email reply.
However you can check updates on your complaints by logging on pgportal
website with your sms complaint/case no/ registration no. The most
important point to note here is that pgportal was very much functional
before BJP govt came to power.

So my conclusion is when you address you greviance through Namo app it is
routed through the pgportal website and not personally taken care of by the
Prime minister.
Don't expect a speedy response & resolution to you greviance. This
mechanism is run by the Babus who are used to working very slow.

[AI] Rejection of PH quota candidature for recruitment by Western Railways on Medical grounds

[Santosh Singh]

Hi Kanchan,

I am writing you regarding my case which is pending in Court of Chief
Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities since 2014. This case pertains
to rejection of my candidature for recruitment by Western Railways wherein
they rejected me on medical grounds as retina of my eyes had degeneration
which may progress to blindness. I had applied under physically Handicapped
quota under orthopedic disabilities(OA) category which is my main
disability.

This was a general recruitment for 8054 vacancies for "Group D" recruitment
advertised in  Dec 2010 which had certain posts seats reserved & identified
for Visual and as well as orthopedic disabilities. All the seats reserved
for Physically Handicapped under this said recruitment had orthopedic
disability of upper limb (OA) & Low Vision (LV)  disabilities as identified
and suitable for the jobs advertised.

Western Railways rejected me as they perceived that present medical
condition of my eyes may lead to blindness in spite of the fact that all
the reserved seats for physically Handicapped were also identified for
candidates with Low vision (LV) and also ignoring the fact that I had
better vision compared to Low Vision Candidates. My vision level is such
that I won't get a 40% disability certificate even if I try to get it from
authorized Govt Hospital.

Further some cases have been filed against Northern Railways wherein they
have excluded the blind candidates  for applying to similar "Group D" posts
as advertised by Western Railways and such totally blind candidates have
received orders in their favour from High court of Delhi. Pursuant to this
court order Northern Railways have published revised merit list including
the 100% blind candidates on their website and also clarified that for
future recruitment such seats are also identified for 100% blind .

The present status of my case is the court has given me written intimation
of hearing scheduled on 28.12.2016.
This letter also has a recommendation letter from Ministry of Social
Justice & Empowerment to CCPD that since posts are identified for both the
disabilities candidates may not be declared unfit.

I have tried to give you maximum information with minimum words.

Please spare some of your valuable time and guide me if any other argument
can be put up considering the latest Rights of Person With Disabilities
Bill Passed by parliament to further substantiate my claim of this job.

Thanks in advance.
