Re: [AI] Digital Accessibility Concerns in Delhi

[Ram Singh]

Digital services for public transportation are not accessible for
individuals with disabilities, particularly in terms of using online
platforms to navigate buses and metros. While there are alternative
services such as government-operated auto and taxi services that are
available in many public areas, these services remain inaccessible to
us. It would be greatly appreciated if you could shed some light on
the availability of digital services in the Delhi market, as this is a
significant concern for me. As a visually impaired individual, I am
cautious about my privacy being compromised. Thank you.

RE: [AI] Digital Accessibility Concerns in Delhi

[Pranav Lal]

Hi,

One digital accessibility concern relates to point of sale terminals. These 
need to be made accessible. 

 

Yes, tapping the credit card does work but not in all cases and for high-value 
transactions, this is a massive problem since pins need to be entered.

 

Those devices need to be accessible or if nothing else, we need to have key 
pads on those devices. Overlays will also not work because the virtual keys 
change their positions on the touch screen. This is an anti-fraud measure.

Pranav

Dear Members,


I hope this mail finds you well!

As you all know, Mission Accessibility constructively engages with the 
developers of platforms that are inaccessible to disabled users and empowers 
such users to voice their concerns in a productive and practically useful 
fashion.

To further our objective of making these spaces accessible, we had a discussion 
with the Delhi PwD Commissioner and he was very receptive to the concerns 
raised.

Hence, we take this opportunity to route the digital accessibility concerns of 
people in Delhi through Mission Accessibility to redress them as soon as 
possible. We would be grateful to have your contribution to this by sharing 
your concerns related to digital accessibility. For example, if people are 
facing difficulty in accessing ATMs, bank services or anything else related to 
digital accessibility, they can get in touch with MA and MA will help them to 
draft appropriate representations to the PwD Commissioner. All accessibility 
concerns that are ICT-related can be relayed to us. Even if the concerns are 
otherwise related to any disability rights issue in Delhi, they can be shared 
with us so that Mission Accessibility can pass the same to those who can take 
the issue up with the State Commissioner.  

Given that the Commissioner is receptive and proactive, let us make the most of 
this opportunity and make sure that our rights are fully realised. Hence, we 
hope the members of Access India would contribute to the same.

 

Please fill in the google form (link given below) to raise your grievances. 
Please fill out separate forms to raise concerns about multiple applications or

[AI] MENTAL ILLNESS Will it be easier to insure now?

[Kanchan Pamnani]

  MENTAL ILLNESS Will it be easier to insure now? IRDAI has mandated the
creation of a new standardised cover for mental illnesses, much like Arogya
Sanjeevani. While one insurer has filed the product, others are in various
stages of researching, formulating and finalising it. Find out if this will
help resolve the existing problems in buying a mental illness cover. by
Riju Mehta Q What are the IRDAI guidelines on the new cover? On 27 February
this year, the insurance regulator issued a circular to all general and
standalone health insurers to ‘mandatorily launch and immediately offer’ an
‘appropriate product’ and a ‘specific cover’ for persons with mental
illnesses, disabilities and HIV/AIDS. In earlier circulars dated 16 August
2018 and 22 October 2022, IRDAI had first broached the issue on mental
illnesses, requiring companies to provide insurance and remove it from the
list of exclusions in policies. While there was negligible compliance
between 2018 and 2021, since last year, all insurers have started including
mental illnesses in their health plans. Despite this, IRDAI felt the need
to issue a diktat regarding a standardised, standalone cover. “Since the
current products are indemnity covers, most offer in-patient
hospitalisation, but for mental illnesses, outpatient treatment is
required. So there needs to be a specific treatment protocol not covered
under the existing products,” says Bhaskar Nerurkar, Head, Health
Administration Team, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance. A crucial inclusion
in guidelines is the need to put in place a ‘Boardapproved underwriting
policy that ensures no proposal from the abovementioned categories of
population is denied’. This means the insurers cannot refuse a cover to a
person with pre-existing mental disorders. This has brought into renewed
focus the difficulty that people have been facing in buying mental illness
insurance. Q What are insurers’ problems in creating a new product? The
biggest issue is that there is no data on the number of patients, treatment
availed of, or the costs incurred, since it is an out-of-pocket expense
availed of largely at private institutions or with therapists, whose
charges range widely. Since there is no data, no standalone plans are
available in the market. This means that there’s no record on the purchase
of such plans. This makes the risk Q What are the existing problems in
buying a cover? While insurers have complied in letter and have included
mental illnesses in their health plans, these covers are not of much use to
customers. For one, most 3/13/23, 7:56 PM 2/3 plans offer only in-patient
covers, which requires hospitalisation for more than 24 hours, while
out-patient counselling is covered only if the plan offers OPD benefit.
“Mental health has an aspect which is very typical vis-a-vis the construct
of all health insurance products, sinceassessment and pricing of the
product difficult for underwriting. “IRDAI has asked insurers to devise
covers on a standalone risk basis. The industry has to check how it can
play out because it’s not a function of devising a cover, but of the
take-up risk. How many people will buy it? People don’t even admit it as an
issue. Hence, the need to buy it as a standalone product has to be tested
in the market,” says Datta. Providing out-patient coverage is also a big
challenge. “It doesn’t have anythingmost of these are in-patient products,
whereas a majority of mental health treatment happens on an out-patient
basis either through consultation with doctors, drugs or therapy,” says
Sanjay Datta, Chief, Underwriting, Claims and Reinsurance, ICICI Lombard.
“Hence, the utilisation is very low because very few people are
hospitalised institutionally for mental health treatment. It is not even
hospitalisation, but confinement, which is very different from
hospitalisation and the policy does not cover it,” adds Datta. to do with
mental illnesses. Healthcare is tax-exempt, while health insurance has 18%
GST. A hospital consult will cost 1,000, but if you convert it into an
insurance product, it will end up costing 1,500. While there are plans
covering mental illnesses with OPD benefit, affordability is a big factor.
If covers with OPD benefit cost more, people will obviously not want to
spend,” says Dr Bhabatosh Mishra, Director of Underwriting, Products &
Claims, Niva Bupa Health Insurance. Besides, the inpatient treatment has to
be in the insurer’s network of hospitals or in an authorised psychiatric
hospital. So if a person only has an indemnity plan without the OPD
benefit, or if he is undergoing counselling through a private therapist who
is not empanelled, he cannot avail of the cover’s benefits. Secondly, in
case of pre-existing disorders, the insurer is free to refuse a cover if
the underwriting lists the patient as high-risk. Even if the insurer
provides the cover, there could be a waiting period depending on the
severity of the illness. So while the insurer abides by the regulations and
keeps the

Hi,
Besides accessibility of Parliament building, accessibility of offices

be requested that excellent achievers (particularly among blind

[AI] can we be mensa members being blind?

[anirudh rao]

dear members out there,
it is my dream to take the MENSA test somewhere in my life.
mensa tells that the only condition to become a member  is to score
highest i.e. 98 percentage and above in the IQ test conducted by them.
it seems clear that there is no descrimination regarding the age or disability.
my doubts are:
are the tests conducted in an accessible manner?
what are the hindrances/challenges being blind to be admitted into mensa?
is there any member of this mailing list also a mensa member who would
like to keep in touch personally and give some guidance if required?
thanks, in anticipation.

RE: [AI] Meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March: request for inputs

['PAUL MUDDHA' via AccessIndia]

I don't think that any parliamentarian for that matter Derrick O' Brien or any 
party would give up their position or surrender the reservation ment for anglo 
indian community.
It would be better to ask for a separate reservation for differently abled in 
the parliament..

@Dilip, couldn't agree more. I'm wondering what kind of impact Dr.

[George Abraham]

Alongside meeting with Shashi Tharoor on the subject of Parliament 
representation, maybe we should also meet up with Derrick.

Indians with anybody else!

really not relevant presently. The change will not have any negative

Hi Rahul,
I think, Dr. Tharoor can be requested to bring a private member bill
on reserving certain seats for the disabled in Lok Sabha, and securing
some representation in nominations to the Rajya Sabha.

I too think that audio description has little importance as the
statements and not visual posture of the legislators are of importance.

Though parliament website is mostly accessible but scanned copies of
statements in the parliament library sometimes create problem.

When I open the link “papers laid”, somehow Jaws gets silent as I go
in the table where list of papers are given.

Not discovered much though.

I don’t think that audio description will be much help in the
proceedings of parliament as it is already about debates, speeches,
and auditory things. They emphasis should be much more on digital and
physical accessibility. We should also push about
representation/nomination of. Disable members in the legislative houses.

Hi all,

Good morning. After much effort, I have managed to secure a
meeting with Dr Shashi Tharoor on 21st March. The immediate
trigger for this meeting is his observations about Parliament
not being disabled friendly and an article that I wrote on the
subject in the Indian express. In the meeting, I would like to
discuss with him concrete pathways for making Parliament and
its proceedings more disabled friendly. I would like to invite
your suggestions on what issues I should discuss with him.
This is what I have in mind at present:

First,  Ensuring that proceedings in Parliament or accompanied
by sign language interpretation and audio description. At
least the most important ones to begin with.

Second, setting up a committee that is tasked with addressing
all Accessibility related needs in Parliament, as has been
done by the Supreme Court recently.

Third, conducting an audit of the physical infrastructure and
website of the Parliament.

Let me know if you have any other inputs.
