[AI] Suggestions requested for the convention-Formation of a 'ste ering committee'

2008-07-04 Thread YADAV, D. N
Hi the list,

AI has been very informative forum readily available  easy accessible
relating IT.  However, I feel things have been here quite in a haphazard
way.  Simply, any information asked for could flow from any quarter based on
learners' as well as expert ones more dependant on what, when, who happens
to read.

I suppose AI forthcoming convention would be a good opportunity to form a
committee a dedicated group which should take to flow the information to all
AI members on the following as soon as they take place:

1. Should be invariably immediately informed through organised interactions
with NGOs of any new VI assistive tool giving speech output (talk)  that
comes to India.

2. Identify visually challenged experts for expert opinion in their field,
in case a VI AI member needs it.

3. Should act as a nodal agency for query resolution after AI forum.

4. Should be initiating causes of general VI interests to different
ministries, public sector, etc.

5. Suggesting work based training orientation to NGOS (trainers) expected
from a VI employee in offices today.

 
Discussions /brainstorming sessions have been enough done, this convention
should now aim at passing some concrete resolution a step ahead in blind
welfare.  Besides, AI should be more inclined to suggesting/ innovating 
highlighting VI assistive tech. talk with along with computers rather than
exploring on high volume IT news which are mostly unapproachable with speech
outputs.

 Addition to this, a workshop on scope of self employment opportunities for 
 visually impaired people where we can have a discussion on new prospective 
 of business rather than focusing on the traditional self-employment areas 
 like STD Booth and etc.
 Apart from all these workshops, we should conduct some group activity or 
 game, musical performances etc in cultural activity cession to make the 
 convention more luscious and amusing.

 Hi,

 Another thought is to a discussion on what is the kind of training and
 services would be needed to generate more employment avenues and how NGOs
 can get help from experts in this regard. It may help lots of NGOs to
 upgrade their existing services and more people with disabilities would
 benefit from career prospective.

 Just my thoughts.

 Hello all

 As I had mentioned in the introductory mail announcing the convention, it
 will be my endavour to make the programmes in the convention driven by
 your needs and aspiration. As of now I have not set the agenda and shall
 look forward for your inputs. So, pour your wish lists and we shall try 
 to

 make it posible.

 This is sort of unconventional way of going about, however, I ardently
 desire that your trip fetches you good value for your time and money.

 So, lets have your ideas and suggestions rolling and by this week end I
 would like to crystalise on the programme.

 Yours
 Harish.
