Brothers and Sisters! Sharing! God bless! Alex Garcia - Deafblind Person from 
Brazil - www.agapasm.com.br  

Mozilla is recruiting a cohort of Senior Fellows who are making trustworthy AI 
a reality. They are seeking experienced practitioners, technologists, 
researchers, policy experts and activists from around the world who work at the 
intersection of technology and society and are passionate about change.

Fellowships should be aligned to Mozilla's vision and demonstrate significant 
influence in the trustworthy AI ecosystem and an ethical, responsible and 
inclusive internet environment.

 

For this fellowship, we are interested in applications from these key 
geographies: East and Southern Africa, Europe, Brazil, India and the United 
States. We also welcome applications from outside of these geographies, 
particularly those working on issues in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and 
SouthWest Asia and North Africa (SWANA), as well as representation from 
indigenous and displaced communities.

 

Preference will also be given to projects that intersect with a clear social 
justice area, involving communities historically excluded in the use and/or 
processes to design, deploy and regulate tech. These may be projects related to 
human rights, economic justice, racial justice, community justice, gender 
justice, disability justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, environmental and climate 
justice, or another issue that centers people's lived experience.

 

The application is a two part process: 

 

1) registration and 

2) full application.

 

Registrations must be submitted by 17 April 2024 at 3pm GMT.

 

Full applications must be submitted by 6 May 2024 at 3pm GMT.

 

The registration form must be submitted by the deadline in order to submit a 
full application."

[AI] Visually impaired Army officer wins gold in national para swimming event

[Kanchan Pamnani]

*Visually impaired Army officer wins gold in national para swimming event*

Apr 4, 2024, 08:51 IST

Lt Col Dwarakesh, the visually impaired Army officer, achieved remarkable
success at para swimming championships. His journey from shooting to
swimming is inspiring, showcasing the power of spirit in overcoming
challenges.

PUNE: "Spirit can overcome challenges," said Lt Col Dwarakesh, Army's only
visually impaired active-duty officer, after winning gold and silver medals
in the 23rd national para swimming championships. The championship was
conducted by the Paralympic Committee of India between March 29 and 31 in
Gwalior.
Currently posted at the station headquarters in Pune's Khadki, the
35-year-old officer joined the Cadet Training Wing and opted for Corps of
Military Intelligence in 2009.

After a road accident claimed his eyes in 2016, he climbed the Siachen
Glacier in Oct 2021 and won a shooting national medal in Nov 2023.
"Sport has given me a vision for life," he told TOI on Wednesday. "Several
hours of swimming practice for the past few months resulted in a gold in
the 50m (51 seconds) and silver in the 100m (1 minute 50 seconds)
breaststroke event," he added.
The officer has also been practising shooting. Commodore Varun Singh,
secretary of Services (Armed Forces) Sports Control Board, told TOI, "Lt
Col Dwarakesh's achievement is an inspiration.His journey in sports, from
shooting to swimming, is a saga."

Hi,

 

A few years ago someone called Nitin Sule had setup a Guide Dog training centre

RE: [AI] A Sad News

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Swaran guided me from low vision to blindness. She and her husband Suresh Ahuja 
the former ED of the National Association for the Blind, India answered all my 
queries and laughed away with practical solutions my uncertainties.

She spoke at the Accessindia Convention in Ahmedabad. 

 

Modest and unassuming she was a great person. 

 

The chautha ceremony is today at her home(Churchgate, Mumbai)   at 5pm. 

She is survived by a daughter Rati and grandson Viraj.

Dear members, I feel extremely sorry to inform you that Mrs. Swaran Tai Ahuja 
passed away at Rajastan. She was renowned as an encyclopidea of the blind. She 
was a dedicated teacher, having several innovative ideas. She played a vital 
role in shaping the Dadar School for the Blind. She was my beloved teacher and 
taught me when I was in the fourth standard. She also had a lion's share in 
shaping the Teachers' Training course for the Blind. She was awarded the 
Rustoom Alpaiwala prize. Very few sighted people know braille to the level of 
Mrs. Ahuja. She was a personification of a loving teacher. Modesty was her 
other name. No need to say that she will reach the havon.

[AI] Army's lone blind officer gets PMO invite for R-Day function

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Army's lone blind officer gets PMO invite for R-Day function ACE SHOOTER,
SIACHEN CLIMBER DEFIES ODDS sandip.di...@timesgroup.com Pune : Fate pulled
the trigger but Lt Col Dwarakesh fired back. The army's only blind
activeduty officer currently posted at the Station Headquarters in Pune's
Khadki has never let his impairment stand in his way. After an accident
claimed his eyes early in his career, the 35-year-old won a shooting
national medal and climbed the Siachen Glacier. Another milestone looms this
week-the Prime Minister's Office has invited the officer to the Republic Day
function in New Delhi. "I have lost my eyesight, not my vision for life. I
have found a new identity in sports," Dwarakesh had said after winning the
gold in Nov 2023. The officer, who has excelled in shooting since his active
military service days, scored 591 points in the visually impaired 10m air
rifle shooting event. Asked about the accident, Dwarakesh said, "I cannot
say anything about what happened except that other army personnel died and I
sustained lifelong injuries. I was in hospital for eight months." One of the
last things he remembers seeing is a basketball match he played at a
military station. Dwarakesh now works in office administration with help
from hi-tech assistive gadgets. "There are several advanced AI-based
software tools that help me read the computer, cellphones and iPad screens,"
he said. Though his impairment planted hurdles, he appealed to the
Paralympic Committee of India, which provided him infrared sensorbased
shooting equipment. "I practised at a private shooting range in Pune under
former Olympian Anjali Bhagwat's guidance," the officer said. In Oct 2021,
Dwarakesh was one of eight disabled Indians to scale Siachen and create a
world record. JP Nautiyal, chairperson of para shooting sports technical
committee of Paralympic Committee 1/27/24, 3:33 PM Times of India ePaper

Thanks Kanchan ma’am! I’m running in Tata marathon on the 21 January and would 
get free around 2:00pm. Staying 3 kilometers from the Gateway. My return train 
is on the 22nd at 4:00pm from Panvel.

 

You have offered me enough information and I think I’m going to arrange things 
on my own. In case I need your help, I’ll call you from ground zero!

 

Austin sir your message is helpful and I’ll use my feet to feel the tactile

some busses have announcements for stops but most atleast on the cst

regarding does or donts, its the same for all big cities.
take care of valuables, dont stand with mobile near the train or buss

RE: [AI] Seperate unversity for the students with disabilities.

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Hi Saurav, 

At the outset I must say I agree with you. I do not want to fight on this issue 
but I would like you to think. 

I must introduce myself. I am late Blind and a practising Solicitor. I did not 
learn Braille when I was young as I was low visioned.

I learnt about the other side when I joined AccessIndia.  

So I would like you to think of the other side of the story.

1.   Many people feel that it is best for Blind children to study at 
Special schools-They have a point and although I do not agree fully I 
understand where they are coming from.  Inclusion and integration is not in 
isolation. There is much more needed for integration than only going to an 
inclusive school.   

2.   I don’t like the word”Divyang” but many that I work with do like using 
it for themselves. 

3.   I personally did not think Braille was important but I have changed my 
mind. 

4.   Years ago many in this group fought when someone pointed out bad 
spellings but now the group has matured and most people spell correctly. 

 

Lots of thoughts are evolving. 

I know there is such a special University in Uttar Pradesh. Its been working 
for atleast 10 years. I wanted to know what the results were.  

When I posted this article from The Times of India I thought maybe the 
Government would have studied the UP experience but now I wonder because the 
Maharashtra government has not even put up a fight and thankfully dropped the 
idea. 

I would still like to know whats happening in UP.

Hi,

I have been following this and the previous threads on this topic.

I mustsay, the person who thought about this concept is a genius!How do people 
find time to come up with such ideas.

First, we are fighting for inclusion and then people have such ideas.

Please someone try to completely close such a topic and make authorities focus 
on inclusion.Escuse the sarcasm.

[AI] Care Givers-new York Times article

[Kanchan Pamnani]

 


Caregivers Helped Us Be a Family. Everyone Should Have That Option.


Jan. 1, 2024

 
 

Credit...Rita Puig-Serra Costa

 
 

* By Rachael Scarborough King

Ms. King is an associate professor of English at the University of
California, Santa Barbara.

My 7-year-old son, Carl, realized that it was Tuesday and asked why Robert
was not coming to our house that day. Robert had been a caregiver for my
husband, Ady Barkan, for more than five years, helping with Ady's day-to-day
activities as he became progressively paralyzed because of the
neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or A.L.S.

Tuesdays were Robert's days, when he would help Ady work during the day and
pick up Carl and his sister, Willow, in the afternoon, often going out for
an activity in our red wheelchair-accessible van. Robert also helped Ady get
into bed four nights a week, arriving around the kids' bedtime and staying
until 10 p.m.

Ady died from complications of A.L.S. in early November. Since then,
 the
bustle of caregivers around our house has been strangely suspended for the
first time in years.

The kids didn't understand why Robert couldn't come anyway, so I texted to
invite him for dinner. We had our usual Tuesday meal of tacos, which Ady had
branded "Taco Martes"; while I cooked, Carl, Willow and Robert played Uno in
the living room.

ADVERTISEMENT

 
 SKIP ADVERTISEMENT 

Ady and I had close relationships with his caregivers, many of whom worked
with us for years. They allowed Ady to continue to live in our home,
surrounded by his family, even after his paralysis had progressed to the
point where I could not care for him on my own.

It's likely that most A.L.S. patients do not have access to this kind of
support - or to adequate caregiving in general. Health insurance plans cover
little, if any, in-home caregiving to assist with the tasks of daily life
(as opposed to skilled nursing services, which administer medicines and
change bandages, for example). Medicare also
 does not cover
assistance with activities like bathing and dressing. To
 qualify for Medicaid -
which varies state by state and has lengthy
 wait lists for home
care - patients and their families usually must exhaust almost all of their
assets first, which would have left me, as a now 39-year-old widow, with
almost no savings. We were fortunate to arrive at an ad hoc arrangement with
our health insurance company that reimbursed most of Ady's caregiving costs,
which totaled about $40,000 a month for round-the-clock care.

You read that right - by the end of his life, we paid nearly half a million
dollars a year for Ady's care. Living with A.L.S. offers an extreme example
of the care crisis that the United States is facing right now. Private
caregiving is exorbitantly expensive, even as more Americans will need paid
care in the coming years. The pandemic revealed how much our society relies
on caregivers, but we have failed to make changes to our insufficient
caregiving system. Political action to make home care more affordable and
available seems to have stalled in our divided Congress.

We cannot accept this status quo. In this election year, candidates will
present their platforms to voters. We have the opportunity to push those
seeking office to prioritize a care agenda that would recognize the
importance of caregiving to millions of people's lives. We can ask how they
will support patients and caregivers so that more people can enjoy the
quality of life that Ady's caregivers made possible.

Ady was diagnosed with A.L.S. in 2016, when Carl was 4 months old. In 2019,
he underwent a tracheotomy, which inserted a tube into his windpipe so that
a ventilator could breathe for him. A tracheotomy turns A.L.S. from a
terminal illness into a long-term condition, but it also requires constant
maintenance: suctioning secretions, changing the tubing and responding to
any alarms on the ventilator. Because Ady was paralyzed and could not
perform these actions himself, he needed 24/7 caregiving support provided by
a team of nine caregivers, including Robert.

RE: [AI] How blind-friendly is your Mumbai and what about water sports?

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Don’t know anything about Water Sports. 

Mumbai is not accessible but helpful. 

If you are coming to Gateway to go to Elephanta then I can help you get on the 
Boat.  From Gateway you can get a BEST bus for Rs. 6/- to CST station which 
will then allow you to get a train for Panvel direct. 

Haji ali is not possible. You will go out of the route and you will find it 
very difficult to get to Panvel.

If you have 2 days then Haji Ali can be done. 

Let me know when you are planning to come.

Hi friends,

 

I’m visiting Mumbai in some time and would be glad to know how friendly public 
transportation is there for the totally blind.

 

I have less than 24 hours to see the Gateway of India and take a ferry to the 
Elephanta Caves. I intend to also see the Haji Ali Dargah from where I’ll ride 
to Panvel Railway Station.

 

Additionally, I want to parasail and scuba dive. Goa guys denied me parasailing 
after knowing my blindness and said that they’ll get their license cancelled if 
they allow me. I only managed to take a jet ski there, and this happened when I 
quietly handed money to them and took full responsibility.

 

Kindly also let me know if there’re any special dos or don’ts for a blind 
travelling alone to Mumbai.

 

Awaiting responses.

 

Thanks,

 

Shadab

[AI] Panel to study idea of univ for students with disabilities Mumbai

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Panel to study idea of univ for students with disabilities Mumbai : The
state government has set up a 15-member committee to study the possibility
of a separate university for persons with disabilities. While students with
disabilities are currently enrolled across state universities in a variety
of courses, the exercise will also be undertaken to see if there is a need
for a separate university, and if there is, then what will be the future
course of action. The state committee will consider all aspects of the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, which promotes inclusive
education. It will study if a separate university will lead to an increased
sense of alienation among students. The committee, set up by the higher and
technical education department, is expected to submit its report in two
months' time. In line with the National Education Policy, 2020, the state is
keen on taking appropriate measures towards facilitating higher education to
all persons with disabilities. The committee will see if this university, if
necessary, can be a standalone multidisciplinary teaching and
research-oriented university. It has also been asked to study the
feasibility of a centre or a department for students with disabilities in
traditional universities instead of a standalone university.

Dear friends,

Can some of us who are totally blind share how you identify cash coins and 
notes? Particularly in situations where, let’s say you have to verify change 
you receive for the payment you just made in cash, let’s say to Amazon delivery 
guy?

 

My first thought is that it would be nice to have a special kind of tray, 
perhaps multi-layered, in which you have say 6 or 7 compartments for coins, and 
the same for notes. This way you simply keep denominations separately for 
choosing when making payments yourself. But the challenge comes when you need 
to verify money someone gives you, let’s say as change Etc.

 

Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Cop told to pay for false probe against disabled NDA staffer

 

Mumbai : Slamming a police officer for falsely implicating a disabled
employee of the National Defence Academy (NDA) by carrying out a false
investigation, the Bombay HC has quashed and set aside the FIR and
consequential proceedings against the staffer.

"Such an act of the investigating officer (IO)... can be termed as causing
mental agony, lowering down dignity and ill-treating the petitioner, an
academician (sic)," said Justices Nitin Sambre and R N Laddha in the August
4 order released on Thursday.

They awarded compensation of Rs 25,000 to Kamal Tiwari and directed it to be
paid to the Maharashtra State Legal Services Authority within six months.
The state will recover the amount from the salary of the IO, Anand Pa gare,
who is currently posted as inspector at Police Training Centre, Daund.

The NDA had sent Tiwari's 41% disability certificate issued by Sassoon
Hospital, Pune, on December 1, 2012, to the facility for verification. The
hospital said it couldn't trace the original record, prompting the NDA to
lodge a police complaint in May 2016 that Tiwari, who had joined as
assistant professor (sociology), had produced a forged certificate. Tiwari
was booked for cheating and forgery. In September 2016, the hospital wrote
to Pagare that the original record had been traced. Pagare ignored this
communication, and filed the 'malicious' chargesheet in July 2017.

In June, the judges issued a contempt notice to Pagare after he
"intentionally" ignored their query on whether he had looked into the
record. In his reply, Pagare said he had recorded the statements of two
doctors who denied signing the certificate. He said it was his first
posting. The judges said he was expected to verify the certificate's
genuineness.

Tiwari's advocate Jagdish Reddy said he suffered because of Pagare's
vindictive attitude. Pagare's advocate Satyavrat Joshi said he regrets the
bonafide mistake and tenders his unconditional apology to the court and to
Tiwari.

The judges said "malicious" prosecution caused Tiwari not only harassment
but also immeasurable anguish, and the acts done in a clandestine manner by
Pagare warrant compensation. Reddy said Tiwari is not interested in
compensation and it can be paid to the legal services authority. The judges
discharged the contempt notice, warning Pagare to be "more diligent".

Attention Payyal

Couple 'forgotten' by IndiGo gets stuck at Istanbul airport for 24hrs

  _  

saurabh.si...@timesgroup.com

New Delhi : A wheelchairbound man and his wife were recently stranded for 24
hours at Istanbul Airport after IndiGo allegedly "forgot" to put them on
their connecting flight to India.
Rajesh Shah (64) and his wife Rashmi (59) were returning to Mumbai from
London and had booked tickets from the airline with the London-Istanbul
sector operated by Turkish Airlines and the leg to Mumbai by IndiGo. They
finally got the next day's flight to Mumbai.
Comments were sought from IndiGo on Monday and awaited till the time of
going to press on Tuesday.
"My parents had a single PNR ticket for the journey on August 17. My father
is wheelchair-bound as he had suffered multiple strokes and has undergone
surgeries. My mother also cannot walk long distances so we had booked
wheelchairs for both of them for use at airports. They landed in Istan- bul
as per schedule," said Shahs' daughter Richa, who is based in Bengaluru.
After landing, the ground staff assisted them with taking the connecting
flight to Mumbai. "They were made to sit at the boarding gate with their
boarding passes. When a few hours passed, my mother went to check at the
counter regarding the flight status. The staff took the boarding passes from
her and asked them to sit till further instructions. This kept happening
repeatedly and they were only told: 'My supervisor is on the way, you have
to talk to him'," Richa said.
The Shahs were finally told that the Mumbai flight had departed. "They
panicked and reached out to me. I managed to contact IndiGo to assist them.
The local staff at the airport only spoke Turkish and my parents could not
communicate with them," Richa added.
When she finally managed to speak to someone on the IndiGo helpline from
India, the airline issued the couple a boarding card for a Mumbai flight the
next day.
"My parents are vegetarians and need constant medication and medical
support. They were stranded in this condition for 24 hours at Istanbul
airport...on chairs in a secluded place with a loaf of bread and coke. They
were told that they would be picked up from the same place for the next
day's flight," Richa said.

Subject: Re: [AI] Told OTP, Amazon showed delivered, but I received nothing

Hi friends,

Thanks for your advice.

Several more points have come to light:

The Amazon delivery guy had 3 products to be delivered on my address, but he 
told that there’s an order, and requested its OTP.

The first OTP was of the adapter. He handed the adapter to my sister (who also 
has RP) and waited for her to go.

Hardly 2 minutes later he called me up again and asked me to tell me the OTP 
for the other order also. He made me presume, by the casual way with which he 
spoke, that my sister was standing there. So I told him the OTP, though by then 
he would have left that spot, and repeatedly sent me the OTP to get away with 
the phone.

Generally – not always – when people notice our blindness, they fancy that 
duping them would be easy – anyway:

In hurry he didn’t deliver the cable, which had scheduled delivery for the same 
day (i.e. Oct. 04). Amazon started showing the cable delivery date to Oct. 06, 
and till the time of this writing the cable hasn’t reached me.

This Amazon guy probably delayed the delivery for the fear that he could be 
caught, and now its delivery is scheduled for today.

I have an inkling that he has passed the order on to another guy. I don’t 
remember if Amazon delivery has ever been delayed before, particularly for so 
many days. Therefore this unexpected delay raises doubts.

Amazon’s response on this issue thus far isn’t appreciable.

When we lodged the complaint on Oct. 04 with Amazon, they assured that the 
issue would get resolved by Oct. 06. But yesterday they apprised that it’s 
going to be resolved by Oct. 10.

Had they been earnest, they would have retrieved the call recording of this 
delivery guy and asked him:

1.  Why did he send the OTP multiple times?

2.  Why the cable delivery is delayed?

3.  What made him ask the OTP 2 minutes later?

Additionally, in case Amazon doesn’t resolve this issue, I plan to take the 
following measures:

1.  Going to Amazon’s X handle and filing an open complaint, asking
people in my circle to promote it, and forcing them to carry out a thorough 
investigation.

2.  Filing an FIR in the local police station.

3.  Approaching Consumer Forum and requesting them to –

a.  Check my Amazon buying record to see if I have ever misused the
risk-reversal policy.

b.  Check my friend’s Amazon buying record (with whose id the product
was booked) to see if he has ever misused their full money return policy.



c.  Retrieve the call recording and multiple messages sent by the
delivery guy, and question him on the same.

d.  Ask Amazon what caused the delay in the delivery of the cable.

e.  Ask Amazon why the issue wasn’t resolved on the mentioned date.

f.  Ask amazon why in the message carrying the OTP they never mention
the product name and only the order id is provided. (This makes it trickier for 
the customer to identify the product particularly when there’re multiple 
products scheduled for the same day.)

I don’t think I’ll leave this matter without getting back my money.
Losing seventeen thousand rupees doesn’t feel fun.

Your help required. Mr. Pavasker and other gentlemen posted on X (formerly 
Twitter) about accessibility issues in which we made our voices felt. I hope 
you to kindly offer me your helping hands if it comes to that.

Your friend

Shadab

RE: [AI] Need information to visit Museum of possibilities, Chennai

[Kanchan Pamnani]

I am forwarding your email to the relevant people. 
In the meantime I am sharing some of my experiences- 
I visited on a Monday evening. It was definitely open till about 7.30pm. 
There is someone there to take you around. It is laid out like a house. For eg. 
The kitchen has many knives, chopping boards, plates, mats etc.  

It is a very nice place to see gadgets etc which can be used by persons with 
different disabilities. 
There are the usual games for the Blind.You would have seen these at many 
places. 
My mother is low visioned and she found a nail cutter with magnification. I 
thought that the sofa which ensures that you don’t sink into is very good for 
senior citizens. There was a small washing machine which could be useful when 
we don’t want to mix our clothes with clothes of our family members who have no 
bowel control. 
Please take time while you are moving around-maybe 2 hours. You can also try 
the café which is on the first floor and has a braille menu. 
Don’t limit yourself to gadgets for the Blind do explore the other things 
because you can guide your community.
Try the smart glasses. 
You cant buy anything there but you can get the manufacturers numbers and 
addresses and directly get in touch. I did not connect with anyone since I 
really did not need anything. Though I would buy the coffee mug which has a 
button to stir the contents for my lazy non disable friends.
Best wishes
Kanchan

Other list members have already told you about SHG technologies. Their smart 
glasses as of this writing are the only game in town at a reasonable price 
point. Your next option are the envision glasses. Be warned, they are over 3 
times the price and do virtually the same thing as the SHG glasses. I suspect 
the SHG glasses are better but I cannot say for sure because I have not tried 
the Envision glasses.

 

The most interesting part of the SHG glasses is their walking mode which is 
under further development. I have tested these glasses at their Bangalore

Subject: Patients for Patient Safety Foundation (PFPSF) | Be a responsible 
patient - Ensure optimum care

 

Dear Friends,

We all expect and deserve the best treatment from our doctors and hold them 
responsible for the outcome, assuming this as our right. But where do you stand 
in your responsibility as a patient?

Being a responsible patient helps the doctor, hospital staff, family and 
caregiver contribute to safer care and quick recovery. Following will help:

1. Provide accurate and complete information to your doctor about your 
medical history and reports, current symptoms, family history, any medications 
or supplements you are taking.

2. Be informed, ask questions and clarify doubts about your diagnosis, 
treatment options and any potential risks or side effects.

3. Follow the treatment plan strictly: Take medications as prescribed, do 
necessary diagnostic tests and attend follow-up appointments. Follow exercise 
and diet instructions. Inform your doctor about any kind of symptoms without 
delay. You are solely responsible for the adverse effects of your 
non-compliance.

4. Respect your healthcare team and other patients by being on time for 
appointments; notify your doctor in case you cannot make it. Communicate in a 
clear, courteous manner. Follow hospital regulations, limit visitors and be 
mindful not to cause harm to the hospital or other patient's property. 

5. Manage your medical expenses. Your life is precious but depending on 
your illness, health care can be expensive. Understand the costs involved in 
advance, plan your insurance and finances, pay your bills promptly.

6. Your lifestyle decisions will impact your well-being and your health. 
You alone are responsible for making changes as required or prescribed.

Subject: Do you know you have rights as a patient?

 

Dear Friends,

Often we as patients do not realize our rights at the time of receiving medical 
care which is extremely useful to obtain the right attention, information, and 
optimum care. Being an alert patient will ensure that you take informed 
decisions and play an active role in your healthcare.

As a patient, you have the Right to:

1. Be treated with respect, dignity, courtesy and sensitivity by all 
healthcare providers and staff without any discrimination.

2. Privacy and confidentiality. Make sure that your medical information is 
kept confidential and viewed only by an authorized healthcare team and privacy 
is maintained during medical examination.

3. Receive medical care that meets proper standards of quality, safety and 
effectiveness. 

4. Be informed by receiving complete and updated information about your 
health status, diagnosis, treatment options, treating team and expected 
outcomes. Do not hesitate to ask questions and request for a written diagnosis. 

5. Participate in decision-making about your healthcare including informed 
consent for accepting or refusing treatment including discharge. When in doubt 
or for major decisions you have the right to take a second opinion. 

6. Be in a safe and secure environment during your treatment or 
hospitalization. In case you feel that it is compromised you may take necessary 
actions.

7. Express concerns, complaints, provide feedback and share your 
experiences about care delivery, treatment, billing, auxiliary services, staff 
behavior in a constructive manner without fear of being discriminated against.

It is important that you use your rights optimally and responsibly.

Hello,

Can someone elaborate on recent development from law background?
Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah introduces the 
Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill 2023, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita Bill, 
2023 and the Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023 in the Lok Sabha, yesterday. But I 
found very little place for disability community that incase of permanent 
disability or brain dead there will be minimum 10 years of imprisonment or life 
time.

What’s most important is to put the person first, the disability second  
Because we all are people first.

1. I don’t have a pepper spray but do have plenty of deodorant bottles and now 
I shall keep them handy. Thanks for the tip. 
2. Now for the second issue. Does your employer not want an updated License

Hi
I had an opportunity to conduct training on self defence years back but tricks 
are still useful. Pepper spray gets stuck if not used regularly. Instead a 
regular deodrant also serves the purpose ! Spray in the direction it helps more 
than pepper spray Seen effectiveness more so suggesting Just ensure that the 
bottle age more than 70% full to get proper results Best

Hi

Sorry for late reply. As i had already said that, I had lodged the complain in 
the nearest police station "Anandpur" police station.
Police could identify oneof the suspects who was involved in several robbery 
cases. I hope He will be caught and others too. I will keep follow up on this.
Kanchan mam, I shall proceed with your suggestion. I can understand Bengali 
fairly. I can speak not so fluently but I can manage to express myself. I have 
a friend who  works with me in office. She is willing to help me on letter 
writing part. I’m going through a lot right now. It has been very stressful 
life.

[AI] state level ministries

[Kanchan Pamnani]

I have suddenly been invited to give a  list ofchanges/requirements/asks by
and for the Blind to the Maharashtra State.  

If anybody can think of the changes we want then please send it to me. It
will be nice to know which ministry we are targeting.  

My first would be an audit of all the websites under the specific ministries
and then compliance of the GIGW or whatever it is called now.

My second would be implementation of the 4% reservation in all cadres of
each ministry. 

What do you all think we should ask? 

Important or trivial -lets ask 

Thank you 

 

Kanchan

[AI] Resolve MCA-21 issues, govt tells LTI Mindtree Asks Co To Fix Some Glitches By July 15

[Kanchan Pamnani]

One more article on the mess.

 

Resolve MCA-21 issues, govt tells LTI Mindtree Asks Co To Fix Some Glitches
By July 15 After Industry Players Share Grievances sidhar...@timesgroup.com
New Delhi : The government has asked LTI Mindtree to address some of the key
concerns of stakeholders on the MCA-21 platform - which range from slow
speed, problem in PDF generation to issues coming up in downloads -while
exploring the possibility of providing some more flexibility in corporate
filings, including on annual filings. Following consultations with seven
stakeholders, where industry players aired their grievances against upgrade
of the platform, LTI Mindtree has been told to remove some of the glitches
by July 15, while some others need to be fixed by August 1. The company,
counted among the leading players in the Indian IT space, has come under
fire for its work on the third version (V3) of MCA21, forcing the government
to defer some of the compliance and move some of the work offline
temporarily. While its role for "poor programming", resulting in the bugs,
is under the government scanner, the ministry of corporate affairs (MCA) has
no option but to get it fixed and offer flexibility till the system settles
down. Over the last few weeks, TOIhas highlighted several of the problems in
its reports. Officials told TOI that there were some problems with the
users, who had multiple IDs, which is not possible to be used in V3. "Our
teams are working to resolve the problem on this front," a government source
said, adding that there was some improvement in the speed, number of filings
as well as ticket resolution. But the official acknowledged that the
situation wasfar from perfect. As a result, MCA is considering allowing
annual filings in V2 of MCA21, although it will decide on the issue around
August 15 since several aspects are expected to be fixed by them. Similarly,
an option is to use utilities for annual filings like the income tax portal
earlier so that some of the activities can be done offline to reduce the
load. Further, officials said that directors of Indian companies, who are
overseas, have complained that they are often unable to get the OTP via SMS,
prompting MCA to explore the possibility of providing the facility via
WhatsApp. But these are seen to be temporary fixes in a system that has
hobbled regulatory functioning and compliance by the corporate sector.

[AI] HC to cop: ‘Malicious’ chargesheet, why shouldn’t disabled NDA staffer get ₹10L?

[Kanchan Pamnani]

HC to cop: ‘Malicious’ chargesheet, why shouldn’t disabled NDA staffer get 
₹10L? rosy.seque...@timesgroup.com Mumbai : Taking a serious view of a police 
officer “maliciously” filing a chargesheet against a disabled employee of 
National Defence Academy (NDA), the Bombay high court questioned why he should 
not be directed to pay Rs 10 lakh compensation to the staffer. Justices Nitin 
Sambre and R N Laddha also directed that a contempt notice be issued, through 
Pune police commissioner, to investigating officer Anand Pagare for ignoring a 
February 2019 direction to reply whether he had verified the record of Sassoon 
Hospital regarding Kamal Tiwari’s handicap certificate before filing the 
chargesheet. The 41% disability certificate issued to Tiwari in December 2012, 
was referred bythe NDA for verification to the hospital. Since the original 
record pertaining to the certificate was not traceable by the hospital, the 
NDA, in May 2016, lodged a complaint with Khadakwasla police station alleging 
that Tiwari had produced a forged handicap certificate. Tiwari was booked under 
the IPC relevant sections for forgery for the purpose of cheating and using as 
genuine a forged document. In September 2016, Sassoon Hospital wrote to Pagare 
that the original record of the disability certificate has been traced. 
Tiwari’s advocate argued that Pagare ignored this communication, and proceeded 
to file the chargesheet in July 2017, thereby initiating malicious prosecution. 
On February 8, 2019, the HC issued a notice to Pagare and directed him to 
explain whether he had looked into the record that was traced by the hospital. 
On June 28, this year, the judges said in his reply Pagare “ignored the very 
directions of this court as he has not commented on the said issue. . . ” They 
said Pagare’s act is in contempt of the February 8 or der. “Not only the 
aforesaid contemptuous act which can be prima facie inferred, the officer prima 
facie appears to have maliciously filed a chargesheet against the petitioner,” 
they added. The judges took note that at the time of filing his reply, Pagare 
was posted at Hinjewadi police station. They directed the contempt notice be 
issued, through the policecommissioner, “calling upon him [Pagare] to 
physically remain present. . . so as to enable this court to frame charge 
against him for contemptuous act and also as to why he should not be proceeded 
against for filing of criminal proceedi ngs for malicious prosecution of the 
petitioner ignoring his statutory obligation and duties under the provisions of 
Criminal Procedure Code. ” The judges further directed that Pagare “be put to 
notice as to why he should not be directed to pay a compensation of Rs 10 lakh 
to the petitioner in view of the aforesaid serious default”. The Pune police 
chief has been directed to “complete service an d report compliance” by July 
13, the next hearing. The judges also stayed further criminal proceedings 
against Tiwari.

[AI] MCA website

[Kanchan Pamnani]

The site is inaccessible for us and it is also troubling others.

 

Times of India 

Corp affairs ministry site remains glitchy No Respite For CA & CS Community
For Months Despite Assurances From Govt sree.m...@timesgroup.com Bengaluru :
Company secretary Gaurav Pingle's computer screen looked like a screensaver
with an astronaut in space. But a closer look showed it was an error message
from MCA21, the corporate affairs ministry's website, when he tried to
upload some forms. Now, two days after raising a complaint, he still hasn't
found a resolution. Company law professionals like Pingle continue to face
issues with the MCA site, which is now managed by IT services company
LTIMindtree. TOI had highlighted the problems in March. But even now, three
months later, and despite assurances from Nirmala Sitharaman, the finance
and corporate affairs minister, the site has not stabilised. Pingle says
finance professionals like him are trying such techniques as changing the
password and clearing the cache to get the site to work properly. In some
cases it works, in others it doesn't. Earlier, company and limited liability
partnership (LLP) incorporation took 10 to 15 days. Now, users say, it takes
more than a month. Users say that from registering a company to uploading
digital signatures of directors and submitting annual financial statements
-all are getting delayed. A global management consulting and strategy
advisory firm that works with global capability centres of foreign firms
says due to these delays, they have stopped giving clients a timeline to
register or incorporate the firm. The consulting firm, which requested that
they not be named for this story, said all their global customers have been
affected, and they perceive itas India's slowness. "That experience stayed
with them, and they keep recalling it," the firm said. One user tweeted that
when he clicks on any part of the portal, the page goes back to the login
page. In his case, even efforts like clearing the cache have not helped.
Another user said she was not able to download any document from the site.
These glitches have been a problem for the CA and CScommunity for a year
now. The problems began when MCA and LTIMindtree moved to a new version of
the portal, called Version 3 or V3. Initially, the new version was
operational for LLP companies, but earlier this year, it was opened up for
all firms. The finance ministry has been assuring companies for months that
glitches would be resolved, but little has changed. Asked about the
problems, LTIMindtree did not directly address the issue, but said that over
1. 4 lakh LLP Form 11 annual filings for FY24 on the MCA portal have been
completed successfully. It said over 62,000 new company registrations
(including foreign companies) have been done since launch of the company
forms in January and around 8,000 Form 15 have also been filed on the portal
"seamlessly. "

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Please would someone audit  or atleast tell me 10 accessibility issues. 

To the best of my knowledge it is fairly inaccessible. 

The basic website is inaccessible and the forms we cannot fill. 

The website is of  the ministry of Corporate affairs. 

Thank you

RE: [AI] Dmat account

I have requested amar to speak with you. Please take this fight forward. I know 
how difficult it was to get the NSDL circular. 16 years later all my work 
cannot go in vain.  Please have patience, with the right correspondence, you 
will get your Demat accountand you will be able to operate it. Maybe it will 
take about 3 months.

Hi all,

Continuing on the same discussion, when I went to bank for signature 
attestation required by the AMC, I got to know one more thing. 

They say that ECS/ Bank mandate/cheque facility cannot be given to VI persons 
using thumb impression. 

If so, how will I operate my demat account? I mean how can I make transactions? 

 

I would also like to mention the reason given by the HDFC branch manager. 
According to him they have no way to verify the thumb impression everytime a 
debit instruction comes. Signature can be verified but not the thumb impression 
resulting into more chances of fraud.

 

Experts please guide.

 

Thanks and regards

Kriya Jain

[AI] 'Achievers' outed as frauds, UPSC plans criminal action

[Kanchan Pamnani]

'Achievers' outed as frauds, UPSC plans criminal action TIMES NEWS NETWORK
New Delhi : Taking a firm stance against two candidates who took the Civil
Services Exam 2022 and recently made false claims in media that they had
been recommended to all-India services on basis of the exam, the UPSC on
Friday said it was contemplating criminal and disciplinary action against
both after its probe found them to have forged their documents to buttress
their claims. Aysha Makrani from Ali-rajpur, MP, and Tushar from Rewari,
Haryana, had claimed to have cleared CSE 2022 by posing as genuinelyselected
candidates with similar names-Ayasha Fatima from Dewas, MP, and Tushar Kumar
from Bihar-and quoting the same roll numbers. The confusion asto who was the
genuinely-selected candidate was widely reported in the media, with the UPSC
being blamed for the alleged error. On Friday, the UPSC put out a statement,
clarifying that Makrani and Tushar's claims were fake and that they had
forged their documents. "By doing so, both Aysha Makrani and Tushar have
acted in contravention of the provisions of the Rules of the Civil Services
Examination, 2022. Therefore, the UPSC is contemplating both criminal as
well as disciplinary penal action against both candidates," it said. The
UPSC said its examination system "is robust as well as foolproof and such
errors are not possible". Makrani, who claimed to have secured the 184th
rank, had, in fact, failed to clear even the preliminary exam-ination stage
by scoring 21. 09 marks in General Studies Paper II against the required 66
marks. Tushar did not clear the prelims, having scored just 44. 73 marks in
General Studies Paper II. The UPSC on Friday confirmed that Fatima and
Tushar from Bihar had secured the 184th and 44th ranks, respectively.
Slamming various media outlets for "irresponsibly" reporting the news, it
said media should have first verified with it the genuineness of the
imposters' claims.

[AI] ‘Govt Geo-tagging All Institutions for People with Disabilities’

[Kanchan Pamnani]

‘Govt Geo-tagging All Institutions for People with Disabilities’
The Centre is in the process of geo-tagging institutions for people with
disabilities under the PM Gati Shakti project to improve accessibility, a
senior official said on Saturday. The Department of Disabilities is
collaborating with Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Applications &
Geo-informatics (BISAG-N) for geo-tagging all the institutes for people
with disabilities, Joint Secretary in the Disabilities Affairs Department
Rajeev Yadav said.
He said the process is aimed at bringing all such institutes on a single
portal to stay updated about their ongoing projects.

"Under PM Gati Shakti, social infra of national institutes, regional
centres and ALIMCO centres would also be brought on board so that people
have an idea about them. There is a need to bring everything on a single
platform so that all such institutes can be geo-tagged," he said.
Yadav further said most of the institutes have been geo-tagged, adding that
now, only 450 Deendayal Disabled Rehabilitation Scheme and 13 NGO-run
braille press are left.

"The geo-tagging process that started in December would be completed by
June 30," Yadav told PTI.

A meeting of concerned ministries with the PM office has also been held in
this regard.

The government is also in the process of geo-tagging all the Anganwadi
centres in the country.

Till now, over 10 lakh Anganwadi have been geo-tagged in the country,
sources at the Women and Child Development Ministry said earlier this week.

There are around 14 lakh Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) in the country.

RE: [AI] Disappointment judgement of Delhi HC

[Kanchan Pamnani]

I have been reading everyones comments  about their disappointment etc. I echo 
the same. However this was not a matter to be taken to court. You have to be 
prudent-something gets sorted by negotiations, discussions and requests while 
other issues need to be addressed by the Courts. The Court should be the last 
resort and not the first. I am sure this will get resolved and it must. I have 
great respect for everyone who tries to resolve an issue whichever way they 
know best. 

Lets keep going-Advocacy needs everyone.

[AI] Going for new tax regime? Don't go off these tax-savers

[Kanchan Pamnani]

I thought that this article might interest some of you who have been asking
me information.

 

Going for new tax regime? Don't go off these tax-savers TIMES Special Most
Tax Deductions Are Not Available Under New Regime. But Do Stick To Some Of
The Tax-Saving Investments Started In Previous Years Sudhir Kaushik Last
month, salaried taxpayers had to choose between the old and new tax regimes.
Most tax deductions are not available under the new tax regime, so those who
have chosen to go with the new regime may be thinking of discontinuing the
tax saving investments they started in previous years. However, some of
these investments should not be stopped just because there is no tax
benefit. They may be serving other critical purposes in your financial plan.
PPF: Continue investing to build tax-free corpus In the past few years, many
investment options have moved into the tax net but the PPF remains
completely tax-free. The small savings scheme is a good way to build a
retirement corpus that earns tax-free interest and is tax-exempt on
maturity. If you have investible surplus, keep investing in this
tax-advantaged scheme. Term insurance: Keep paying the premium for
protection Life insurance is not bought to save tax, but is meant to provide
financial support if the policy-holder dies. This is especially true for
pure protection term insurance plans that give a large cover at a low price.
Even if there is no tax benefit on the premium, do not stop paying the
premium of your term insurance policy. Medical insurance: Continue this
critical cover irrespective of tax benefit Continuing this cover is just as
important as the term insurance policy. Don't stop your medical cover
because there is no deduction for the premium. As Covid showed us two years
ago, the absenceof medical insurance can ruin a household's finances. NPS:
Invest under sections that offer tax benefits Even though there is no
deduction under Section 80C under the new tax regime, the contributions to
NPS under Section 80CCD(2) will continue to enjoy tax benefits. If you have
opted for the NPS through your employer, continue contributing to the scheme
to get the tax benefit. ELSS funds: Stop SIPs and move to regular funds This
is one tax saving investment you can stop if you move to the new tax regime.
Instead of putting money in a fund with a three-year lock-in period, you can
invest in a regular equity diversified fund. Traditional insurance plans:
Consider surrendering or turning paid up Insurance policies you bought to
save tax may not be very useful now. Policies that have completed three
years can be surrendered or turned into paid-up plans. Do this for plans
that still have several years to maturity. If maturity is just 3-4 years
away, it's better to paythe premium in full. NSCs and tax-saving FDs: Avoid
locking money in illiquid options The interest rates of these fixed income
options have risen in recent months. Even so, they should be avoided
5/18/23, 2:56 PM 2/2 due to the low liquidity they offer. Instead, you can
invest in bank deposits of 1-2 years which can be prematurely closed if
required. The author is CEO and founder of tax filing portal Taxspanner. com

[AI] India blind football ex-captain gets 10- yr jail for minor's rape

[Kanchan Pamnani]

India blind football ex-captain gets 10- yr jail for minor's rape
pankul.sha...@timesgroup.com Dehradun : A local court in Uttarkashi has
sentenced former Indian blind football team captain, Pankaj Rana, to 10
years in jail after the golden boot winner was found guilty of abducting and
raping a minor girl in 2021. The court of district and sessions judge
pronounced Rana, now 23 and currently captain of the Uttarakhand blind
football team, guilty on the basis of medical reports though the girl turned
hostile during trial. The doctor who had examined the girl said that the
"hymen was torn and the scientific forensic lab report stated that Rana's
DNA samples were matched with those from the victim's clothes and vaginal
swab". Rana, who captained the blind football team twice, had represented
the country from 2015 to 2020 in international tournaments for
visually-challenged players. He won the golden boot at the All India Blind
Football Tournament as a teenager in 2017. While sentencing on Friday, the
court noted that since Rana is blind in both eyes, there must be some
coaccused who helped him in abducting the girl from her village to a hotel
and then to his sister's house from where she was rescued. "But, no evidence
was produced or examined," the court added. The court denied compensation to
the survivor since she turned hostile. It further stated that even if it is
assumed that she had accompanied the accused on her own, no benefit of doubt
under the Pocso Act can be given to the accused as she was a minor-17 years
and six months-at the time of the purported crime. Special prosecuting
officer, Poonam Singh, said the crime took place on July 30, 2021, and FIR
under sections 363 (abduction), 376 (rape) of the IPC and sections of the
Pocso Act was registered the next day by the girl's brother. Rana was
arrested and sent to jail on August 9. He got bail on December 10, 2021.
Referring to the crime,Singh said, "She had gone out to get fodder, but did
not return home. Later, the police rescued her from the house of Rana's
married sister on August 9. " In her statement recorded before the
magistrate under section 164 CrPC, the girl had said that about three months
prior to the crime, she came to know of Rana through her friend and they
"used to speak on the phone". She said that on July 30, he came in a car,
possibly accompanied by a driver-and took her to Kharadi saying that he
wanted to marry her. After spending the night in a hotel there, he then took
her to his sister's place in Trikahli where "he forcibly had physical
relations with her several times". Singh added, "But during
cross-examination, the girl turned hostile and told the court that he had
never kidnapped her, nor had he made any physical relations with her. "

RE: [AI] Consider report for making coins friendly for the blind'

[Kanchan Pamnani]

I think I need to clarify. 

1.   I copied a Times of India article about a pending case in Mumbai by 
the NAB regarding coins etc. 

2.   The Bombay High Court Judges were informed by RBI that they are 
waiting for a Report. 

3.   This is the report on which amar and George have worked as a part of 
the Delhi High Court matter. 

4.   So the Bombay High Court matter will rely on this report. I have 
explained to Amar how it will really work.

5.   We cannot do anything further at this stage unless this report is bad. 
It is currently out of our hands and no point in now commenting.

6.   What the newspaper article also said was that the Bombay Court has 
asked for a report on the ap for recognising currency. So I presumed that it is 
referring to Mani. 

7.   Only Harish has commented about this Ap. If we have to help this 
matter and ourselves then we must do a proper evaluation and send it to the NAB 
or If NAB India is on this list then they can pick it up and give good 
information to their lawyer.

On March 7, 2019, the Prime Minister had release a set of coins  comprising 
Rs20/-, Rs10/-, Rs5/-, Rs2/- and Rs1/-. All of them are distinctly different to 
both see and touch. The problem is that the RBI or whoever else responsible 
have not bothered to withdraw the old coins. Thus the scenario becomes more 
chaotic.

Bombay high court said the Reserve Bank of India must consider an expert

[AI] BMC should ensure elevators in skywalks for elderly, disabled: HC

[Kanchan Pamnani]

BMC should ensure elevators in skywalks for elderly, disabled: HC
swati.deshpa...@timesgroup.com Mumbai : Bombay high court on Monday said
considering the large number of commuters who use skywalks, the BMC must
endeavour to make available all modern facilities in lighting technology
while installing mechanised walkways as well as elevators at both ends of
skywalks for the benefit of senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
The HC disposed of a petition seeking a skywalk in Bandra (East) and
accepted the BMC's submission that restoration work of the skywalk will be
undertaken and completed in 15 months. In future, in all skywalks, the
BMCmust consider the use of technology to make these more sturdy and
beneficial for commuters, ordered the HC bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni
and R N Laddha. The HC noted that the petition by an HC staff-turned-lawyer
K P P Nair, a Bandra resident, had raised an important issued over
non-availability of a foot over bridge connecting the Bandra railway station
on the eastern side towards the Mhada-end leading to the Bandra-Kurla
Complex (BKC). There is only one pavement for commuters to walk from Bandra
railway station towards BKC. This segment faces a junction which has a flow
of heavy traffic as pe-destrians are required to also cross the Western
Express Highway. The pavement is always crowded, said Nair. The HC had last
month observed that commuter safety is paramount and any mishap occurring
due to non-availability of a safe footpath or walkway would amount to a
breach of fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution to the
citizens. The HC noted the Central and Western railways as also the Metro
have provided such mechanisms at several railway stations, including
escalators. Asking the BMC to consider it too, the HC said, "Benefits of
modern technology need to be made available to the commuters, to maketheir
commuting life in Mumbai more easier and comfortable. " "We are sure that
such aspects as highlighted by us would be considered and borne in mind by
the MCGM in consultation with all other authorities, so that not only the
proposed skywalk but also all existing skywalks in the city are made ideal,
for their best possible utility, so as to achieve the purpose for which they
are constructed," said the HC. Advocate Karan Bhosale for the BMC said steps
were taken to complete the work of restoration of the skywalk within 15
months of the date of contract. The HC said it was a welcome measure.

[AI] Differently-abled state staff to get 4% quota in promotions

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Differently-abled state staff to get 4% quota in promotions TIMES NEWS
NETWORK Mumbai : The state cabinet on Wednesday cleared a proposal to
implement 4% reservation in promotions for differentlyabled employees in the
state on the lines of the Centre's policy. Officials said that as per the
order of the central government issued in May 2022, reservation in
promotions will be implemented in the state for the differentlyabled
employees from Group D to Group A lower level. In May last year, the central
government had said that it will grant reservations in promotion to persons
with benchmark disabilities in compliance with Supreme Court (SC) directions
and as per the provisions of section 34 of the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities Act, 2016. The state government has now followed the central
government's decision. The SC had in 2020, stated that the reservation for
persons with disabilities was applicable to promotions as well, and not just
recruitment. "In case of a vacancy, 4% of the posts will be reserved for
persons with disabilities, according to different types of disabilities.
There will bereservation in promotion for persons with disabilities in those
cadres in which the proportion of recruitment through direct service is not
more than 75%. All other government decisions are being ratified in this
regard," an official said. Meanwhile, chief minister Eknath Shinde also
launched SAMAVESH - an initiative for making Mumbai more compassionate and
friendly for persons with disabilities - both physical and neurodiverse.
This will be done in partnership with the NGO Project Mumbai and the BMC.
Shinde said the focus on Mumbai is the first phase of Maharashtra becoming
inclusive for these people. "In partnership with NGO Project Mumbai, our
effort is to ensure that all public facilities, including roads, beaches,
and government buildings, will be made inclusive for persons with
disabilities. It is not just Samavesh but Sarva Samavesh," Shinde said.
According to the National Statistical Office (NSO), Maharashtra is ranked
second with 11. 05% for the highest number of persons with disabilities.

[AI] Insurers Seek Sops to Cover Specially Abled

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Insurers Seek Sops to Cover Specially Abled dheeraj.tiw...@timesgroup.com
New Delhi : General insurance companies will seek tax exemptions or direct
subsidy to provide full coverage to specially abled people through new
product offerings, said industry executives. It comes after the Insurance
Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) asked the insurers to
come out with a new insurance product along these lines, they said. Insurers
will make a representation to the IRDAI in this regard, said a senior
executive with one of the general insurance companies. "There is a view
within the players that the government should ideally take responsibility
for the welfare of specially abled persons, as in foreign countries, and if
insurers in India are being asked to bring out such special covers, then the
industry should be given a tax exemption or subsidy," said the executive.
The issue was discussed in a meeting of general insurers last month, where
mostinsurers voiced concern about making such products mandatory. "The IRDAI
request came after some of the recent decisions passed by the court. We as
an industry will explore all aspectsand come out with suitable
recommendations," said the executive. In February, IRDAI issued a circular
to the effect that every general and standalone health insurer should
mandatorily launch and offer their respective products for specially abled
people immediately. It said the health insurance policy should cover mental
illness, HIV, AIDS and disabilities. The regulator also asked the insurance
companies to develop a model policy that outlines the minimal requirements
and specifications for product design. "One view is that such a cover could
be a restrictive one and not a full-fledged one," another executive said,
stressing on the need to look at how to manage the risk pool without
burdening the insurers. In December 2022, a Delhi High Court judgement said
the right to life includes right to health and directed the IRDAI to call a
meeting of all insurers to design schemes for people with disabilities and
introduce them preferably within two months.

Delhi hospital launches smart vision glasses for visually impaired, blind


A private hospital here launched smart vision glasses that are based on 
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning technology, providing new 
hope to the visually impaired and blind.

The vision glasses are lightweight and feature a camera, a sensor, and come 
with AI/ML technology, making it even more effective in assisting users.

The glasses project images, provide walking assistance, and include face 
recognition capabilities, accompanied by a smart earpiece that reads and 
understands, and relays information to the wearer.

Additional features include voice assistance and GPS navigation, making them an 
essential tool for visually impaired patients to navigate and avoid obstacles.

The wearable device, launched on Wednesday by Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye 
Hospital, in association with Vision Aid India and Bengaluru-based startup SHG 
Technologies, creates a more interactive, interesting, and independent world 
for those with visual impairments.

“Technology has the power to revolutionise the lives of individuals with visual 
impairments, and we are proud to be at the forefront of this progress of 
eradicating blindness from the country,” said Umang Mathur, Executive Director 
and CEO of Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital, in a statement.

“The smart vision glasses represent a significant step towards enhancing the 
quality of life for the visually impaired and blind patients. It is our firm 
belief that healthcare is a basic human right and should be accessible to all, 
regardless of their economic status or physical condition,” he added.

The smart vision glasses come at a time when the number of visually impaired 
and blind patients in India is on the rise.

According to the World Health Organization, there are currently an estimated 15 
million blind people in India, and another 135 million people with some form of 
visual impairment.

[AI] Commuter throws burning cloth on disabled passenger

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Commuter throws burning cloth on disabled passenger TRAIN SHOCKER Accused Is
A Minor From Bhiwandi Thane : A 35-year-old Divyang commuter from Diva
suffered severe burn injuries after a fellow passenger, suspected to be
under influence of some narcotic substance, allegedly threw a burning cloth
on him aboard a running local train, the railway police informed on Sunday.
The trigger for the attack is yet to be investigated. The police said they
have scanned the CCTV footage and spotted a 16-year-old boy from Bhiwandi
who is suspected to have committed the crime. The incident occurred on
Saturday at around 10. 30pm in the reserved coach for physically challenged
of a Kalyan-bound slow local train between Kalwa and Mumbra stations. The
victim, a resident of Diva, is speech and hearing impaired and works at a
hotel in Powai. He was returning home and had boarded the train from
Kanjurmarg. The accused, who is physically challenged and seemed to be under
the influence of narcotics, was also travelling in the same reserved coach,
the police said. "As the train was passing Kalwa station, the accused fished
out a piece of clothwhich was probably soaked in some flammable liquid and
lit it. Even as fellow passengers in the moderately crowded coach were
watching, the accused flung the burning cloth on the victim's shirt which
immediately caught fire. Horrified, fellow commuters alerted the victim who
then tried to douse the blaze and in turn suffered burns to his left hand
and neck while his right hand also got singed," informed senior inspector
PandhariKande at the Thane railway police. The victim alighted at the next
station, Diva, and approached the police who took him to a local hospital.
Meanwhile, the accused took advantage of the melee and managed to alight
from the train at Mumbra and escape. The Thane railway police have booked
the accused zeroed in on the suspect after screening CCTV images of Mumbra
station and spotted him boarding another train for Thane from the adjoining
platform. - Manoj Bagder

[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 

[AI] How Poorly Equipped we are to Support People with Disabilities

[Kanchan Pamnani]

  Senior Congress leader Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday highlighted the "poorly
equipped" facilities for people with disabilities as he came to Parliament
in a wheelchair after he sprained his left foot last week. "When you need
to enter Parliament in a wheelchair, there's only one entrance with a ramp,
at door 9, a good four minute trip (with the assistance of helpers) to the
Lok Sabha. This temporary disability has taught me how poorly equipped we
are to support people with disabilities," Tharoor said in a tweet. The
Thiruvananthapuram MP had announced Friday he sprained his left foot in
missing a step in Parliament. "After ignoring it for a few hours the pain
had become so acute that I had to go to hospital. Am now immobilised with a
cast," he had tweeted.

Also many people are travelling around the same time.

Friends,

I will be reaching Goa on 4th afternoon. Towards this direction, May I know 
what is the climate in Goa now? Is it required to carry woolens?
What is the winter condition over there?

Hope to meet you all there.

Hi all,

I am writing to share with you all that my UDID card got generated in just 3 
days.
I stay at Tumkur(extended Bangalore). I had applied online for UDID card on 
15th of December 2022, on 16th I visited to the govt hospital with the copy of 
online application and my disability book. The doctor attended to me in half an 
hour and he himself guided me for rest of the process. I could complete few of 
the formalities in the hospital only on Monday the 18th of Dec and by 1 PM on 
the same day my UDID number got generated. I immediately downloaded my 
certificate and UDID card. I am told that the hard copy of the same will be 
dispatched from Chennai after 2 and a half months.
I did not wait for that and immidiately took the color print of my smart card 
and got it PVC done and my card is ready. In Karnataka everybody says that they 
received the hard copy by post exactly in 3 months.

Regards,
Swarna.

Eye test reveals higher edu chief ‘unfit’ for duty


The board of referees of the department of ophthalmology at JJ Hospital has 
declared the state’s director of higher education Dhanraj Mane “unfit” to 
perform his duties, terming his medical condition as “blind in the right eye” 
and having “very poor vision in the left”.
This newspaper had reported about the allegations raised by several people 
regarding Mane’s health. On August 31, TOI had reported that Maharashtra’s 
higher and technical education department had ordered Mane to undergo a medical 
examination to check his vision. The decision was taken following a protest by 
an activist who claimed that Mane’s vision had deteriorated after an eye 
surgery. Amar Ekad, president of Care of PublicSafety, was on a hunger strike 
for six days and had alleged that Mane’s condition was affecting his work.
However, Mane did not go for an eye check-up. Only after a second order from 
the state government on October 8did he undergo the test. The state had issued 
a notification to the dean of JJ Hospital and asked him to give Mane an 
appointment for the check -up. It made it clear that if he did not report for 
the test or refused to cooperate, the government should be informed.
The medical report datedOctober 19, a copy of which is with TOI,said, “The 
board of referees has examined Mane. It declares him unfit to perform the 
duties of director, higher education, because he is blind in the right eye and 
has very poor vision in the left ( severe tunnel vision). ”
“The action on the report is under process,” Vikas Chandra Rastogi, principal 
secretary of the higher and technical education department said on Tuesday.
Mane claimed that the report was not shared with him and hence he could not 
comment on it.
Ekad, who had raised the issue with the state, said, “Mane is blind in his 
right eye and can see only 10% with his left eye. The medical examination 
report has said that he is unfit to hold the office of director. I demand his 
dismissal from permanent service.

[AI] Explore Categories in Civil Services for Placing Specially-abled

Economics Times -03/11/2022
Explore Categories in Civil Services for Placing Specially-abled: SC to Govt
New Delhi:The Supreme Court Wednesday asked the Centre to examine how
people with disabilities can be put under different categories in civil
services. A bench of justices S A Nazeer and V Ramasubramanian said
sympathy for disability is one aspect but practicality of the decision has
also to be taken into account. The top court shared an incident where a
person in Chennai with 100% blindness was appointed as civil judge junior
division and the court interpreters got all orders signed by him and was
later posted as

Voting in By-elections to Seven Assembly Seats in Six States Today
Patna | Lucknow | Hyderabad:Voting will be held on Thursday in bypolls to
seven assembly seats in six states — a contest symbolic of the fierce turf
war between the BJP and regional parties. While in Haryana former chief
minister Bhajan Lal's family is trying to hold on to its bastion of five
decades, Bihar will see the first electoral test for the Nitish Kumar-led
'Mahagathbandhan' government. The saffron party is seeking to retain Gola
Gorakhnath in Uttar Pradesh and Dhamnagar in BJD-ruled Odisha. The BJP and
the ruling TRS had been campaigning aggressively in Munugode in Telangana
in the run-up to voting.

[AI] Govt plans religious yatra scheme for disabled

[Kanchan Pamnani]

*Govt plans religious yatra scheme for disabled*
--
Times of India, 31st october 2022

*Subodh Ghildiyal*
*TNN*

*New Delhi : *In a move to make pilgrimages disabled-friendly, the
government is considering a scheme to provide ‘end-toend’ support to
physically challenged tourists visiting religious sites.
Likely to be called ‘Sugam Teerth’, the scheme will be designed to help
disabled tourists from the start to the end ofavisit to a pilgrimage. A
platform will be created for registration of individuals, which will set in
motion dissemination of information about the person down to the religious
site to be visited. While the bus station or the railway station where the
tourist will disembark will have the support system to transport the person
to the destination, it will also book tourists rooms in hotels fortheir
stay. The religious places will be equipped with infrastructure to help
individuals go through with the prayers.
Sources said 70% of physically challenged persons have hearing problem,
while 10% are visually handicapped.
Keeping this data in view, the plan for erecting special infrastructure
down the chain — like Braille for registration, tactile flooring (which
haveembossed tops to guide the visually challenged), audio tapes to recount
history of the place or directions, helpers to aid performing religious
duties, sign language interpreters and guides, as also ramps and
wheelchairs — will be drawn up. Sources said the initial phase may only
include around 22 sites. Based on footfalls, the sites covered will largely
be Hindu temples.

RE: [AI] Certification of quantum of blindness

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Rahul, 

Your certificate is perfectly OK. Don’t meddle with it. There is a evaluation 
method and you squarely fall in 100%. 

Unfortunately there is no 99 or 98%. The next level is 90%. 

Best wishes.

Subject: [AI] Certification of quantum of blindness

 

Hi everyone,

 

Good morning. Apologies for sending this through the mission accessibility ID. 
This is Rahul. That is because I have unsubscribe to the group from my personal 
ID, due to the volume of males.

 

I would like your guidance on one aspect. My disability certificate shows my 
blindness as being 100%. I have light perception, can recognize shapes and 
forms in close proximity and can also recognize sharp colors when the lighting 
is good. I am able to read, with effort,  large font on the computer, around 
80-100 font size. And I’m able to see the time on my clock which has very large 
digits.  So I don’t think that my blindness is 100%. My visual acuity is 2.5 by 
 60 in one eye, and 3 by 60 in the other eye.

 

A few years ago, I had wanted to get the quantum of my blindness corrected. My 
recollection of that process, as traumatic as it was, was that I was told that 
given that the amount of vision that I have is very low,  3 by 60 or less, that 
will be considered as 100% blindness. Is this accurate? Or  should I obtain a 
fresh certification that captures the accurate quantum of my blindness?

 

Warmly,

Rahul

RE: [AI] Request for inputs on the income tax portal

[Kanchan Pamnani]

This is Minar’s  list so I think she should be the person facing the Income 
Tax-it would get the best result. 

The other person I had in mind was Ajay Manocha-since he is filing various 
returns. 

Would Ved Prakash like to deal with the NSDL and Traces  issues?

[AI] Income Tax portal

[Kanchan Pamnani]

We had a hearing just now. 

I am copying below some of the problems that I had shared last week-please
recheck if anything is better than it was. 

Blind user 1

"As I validated my return form and clicked 'Pay Now', I selected other
banks, that is, the second option. In the second option, I found my bank and
clicked on 'submit'.

I was taken to NSDL site which had a captcha before I could I continue.
There was no voice captcha or text captcha available or any other option.
Hence I had to take assistance"

 

Blind user 2

"I need to download an old return which I cannot download at all"

 

Blind user 3

"1. The selection in combo box and list boxes is not readable once you have
selected the desired option.

 

2. The text around input fields like radio buttons is not properly marked up
which leaves user confused around how to select appropriate radio buttons
and other input fields.

 

3. The login section especially login button is indeed difficult to find for
people with low vision as the relevant accessibility standards are not
complied with."

 

Blind user 4

"I was trying to file a revised return. I had to put in the acknowledgement
number and date. The date field said read only. But I know, the date is to
be inserted. Maybe it should have been autofilled. Anyway, I tried it
several ways, using jaws cursor, turning the virtual cursor off and also
trying different zoom levels. But it did not work."

 

Blind user 5

"I have submitted three returns for my friends. Every time, when I eVerify,
there is a check box to approve the declaration. This checkbox is
inaccessible with jaws. By trial and error, I get the checkbox and after
getting it, I have to perform enter pass through command by pressing insert
plus 3. Then only I am able to activate this checkbox"

 

Blind user 6

"traces where we have to download form 26AS from, is still holding captcha.
Secondly, if one chooses to deposit the tax amount via internet banking,
some banks offer captcha. So, now the problem lies with external sites like
traces, NSDL etc."

 

6th September 2022 

Hello madam,

There are so many high severities fastpass bugs. Can you ask developers to
run Microsoft Accessibility insights tool on each page and check? Fastpass
bugs may cause accessibility issues for the screen reader users. It can be
downloaded from here:

https://accessibilityinsights.io/

 

 

Who is willing to do a simulated ITR1 and ITR 4with the Income Tax team.

Someone used NSDL for another purpose yesterday and got an audio captcha. 

Kindly revert

[Kanchan Pamnani]

Hi all, 

I am back again asking the same question-what problems still exist?

We have a hearing on 6th September-this is likely to be the last.

It looks unlikely that we are going to get costs 

The only satisfaction is that the portal will be accessible. 

So if you have any problems still please revert immediately. 

It takes too long to sort these issues.  

I had filed the case before the CCPD in October 2021.

All 

Please don't worry. We told the Income Tax Authorities and the Commissioner
hearing the matter that there were several problems as yet. We told them
that about 50% of the problems had been sorted out. I am going to put all of
your yesterdays comments and the 3 reports that I have together and send it
further.  

Please pay attention to the Income Tax website-the next date of hearing is
6th September 2022. 

Thank you all for the efforts you are putting in.  

It is a group effort ultimately.

[AI] Mohammad Naseer Articles

[Kanchan Pamnani]

This may interest some of you. Please read to the end. There are 2 articles. 
Does anyone have any further information? 

Kanchan 

 

1.  (TIMES OF INDIA ARTICLE -  NOTHING CAN STOP NASSER KHAN, MAY 20, 2009)

 

Mohammed Nasser Khan may not be able to see, but he is more of a visionary than 
people who’ve got 20/20 vision.

 

When you don’t have any other option, you’ve got to find some way to survive, 
says this 35-year-old originally from Kanpur, who refuses to romanticise his 
life story.

 

Apart from working in his family’s tanning business, he is also an electronics 
whiz and is now venturing into the glam arena. Nasser’s banner, Great 
Entertainments with his partner Shamsad Alam, is producing a film titled 
Shadow: The Dark Side of the Truth, in which Nasser plays the main lead. It's 
the first time in the Indian film industry that a real blind person will act in 
a film as its protagonist. Directed by Rohit Nayar, it's an action thriller 
whose fight direction team is from Thailand. The film is slated for release 
around June and apart from me, it stars Milind Soman, Sonali Kulkarni, 
Hrishitaa Bhatt, Sonia Mehra and Sachin Khedekar. “With a Rs 15 crore budget, 
we hope to prove that we are here to make great movies,” he says.

 

Nasser has other ambitions as well. “Next, I’d like to start an exclusive 
post-production commercial studio on a scale that we lack currently to make 
good cinema. Although this would need an investment of Rs 25 crore, it will set 
a new benchmark in production. We are finalising the details for our own music 
label. Like the movies, our music will have no boundaries. We will also soon be 
in the TV space with two channels —music and films. My single objective is to 
take creativity to a new level. Once you tell me that something is not possible 
for me, I start to think, “Is that really so?”he says.

 

But from where does he get his motivation for these ambitions? “When I lost my 
vision early in life, I was told, “Why don’t you take admission in a blind 
school and learn braille?” I opposed that. I didn’t want to do anything that 
blind people did. I wanted to try and live as normally as possible,” he says. 
Nasser also shuns any notions of pity. He is a very driven person. Some people 
would call it “fire in the belly”. “I am blind but I have a vision beyond what 
normal people can see. Swimming against the current is what gives me pleasure,” 
he signs off.

MOHAMMAD NASEER’S BAIL PLEA, JUNE 13, 2022)

A Supreme Court bench of Justices Bopanna and Vikram Nath today issued notice 
in a plea filed by disabled Bollywood actor Mohammad Naseer seeking bail in a 
case registered against him by CBI under provisions of Prize Chits Money 
Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978.

Naseer who acted in a 2009 film called “Shadow” is blind by birth and has 
stated in the plea that it is difficult for him to move on his own frequently. 
When the plea was called for hearing, Sidharth Bhatnagar, Sr.Adv, appeared for 
Naseer and submitted that the order in his bail reserved two years ago by the 
Orissa High Court and the judgment is yet to be pronounced since then.

The court on hearing his submissions, issued notice in the plea and ordered it 
be returnable in three weeks.

The plea, filed through Advocate on Record Swarnendu Chatterjee claims that 
Naseer was one of the Directors of a company called  M/s Fine Indi Sales Pvt. 
Ltd.

It is Naseer’s submission in the plea that in July 2009, one Niranjan Sahu 
lodged a complaint  with in Sahadevkhunmta Police Station, Odisha  alleging 
cheating and siphoning of funds in the name of chit fund schemes. It is claimed 
that on July 18, 2009 the complaint was transferred to Crime Branch and got 
registered.

According to the plea, the Orissa High Court transferred the complaint to CBI. 
Though the CBI filed chargesheet in 2016 it stated in 2019 on affidavit that 
"considering the intricacies and magnitude of money laundering in this case at 
least another one year would be required to complete the Investigation.” It is 
claimed that CBI has failed to complete investigation till date.

The plea states that Naseer’s name was mentioned in the charge-sheet of CBI 
from 2016. Though was arrested on July 20, 2009, he was enlarged on bail on the 
same day. Naseer, throughout the period of investigation, was not arrested. 
Thereafter, the CBI took him into custody in February 2019 and Naseer’s status 
remains the same to date.

It is Naseer’s contention that he was taken into custody after more than 2 
years of filing the chargesheet for no apparent reason.

With regard to the trial, it is contended that the prosecution has cited 229 
witnesses out of which 64 witnesses are from Uttar Pradesh and 18 witnesses 
belong to Orissa. It's been also alleged that the trial has not progressed 
substantially and few witnesses have been examined.

Subject: Veteran, archery instructor who faked blindness gets prison, must 
repay disability checks

 

ASHEVILLE - An Army veteran who claimed to be blind and was collecting nearly 
$4,000 a month in federal disability payments — all while driving multiple cars 
and serving as an archery instructor in the Boy Scouts — was sentenced July 18 
to 10 months in prison and ordered to pay $930,762 in restitution.

U.S. District Court Judge Max Cogburn Jr. sentenced Marshall resident John Paul 
Cook, 58, to 10 months of prison time, although five of those months will be 
spent in home confinement, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's 
Office. Cook will also serve three years of supervised release.

Reached via phone on July 18 and asked about his case, Cook said, "No comment."

Cook's crime carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 
fine, according to a news release about his guilty plea issued in 2021.The 
Citizen Times could not reach for comment Cook's attorney, Emily Jones, or 
Joshua Christ, executive director of the Daniel Boone Boy Scouts of America, in 
Asheville.

The indictment in the case, as well as court records and the press release, 
show Cook collected Veterans Affairs disability payments over three decades, 
garnering multiple increases over the years as his allegedly poor vision 
continued to worsen. Initially, his monthly disability payments totaled $1,411, 
but by 2016, with increases for the severity of his "disability," he was 
pulling in $3,990 a month.

>From 1987-2017, Cook took in $978,138 in VA disability payments and perks such 
>as money for a home remodel. His alleged "blindness" was confirmed over the 
>years by four different optometrists either working for or contracting with 
>the VA.In July 2021, Joe Williams, a public affairs specialist with the VA's 
>Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs, told the Citizen Times, "Under 
>federal law, veterans will not be subjected to reexamination of their 
>service-connected disabilities once VA determines that the disabilities become 
>static, without material improvement over five years. Mr. Cook presented a 
>disability picture to VA, beginning in 1989 that established the static nature 
>of his alleged disability."Cook, who wore glasses and had a lazy eye when he 
>joined the Army in 1985, claimed in 1986 he fell from a ladder and hit his 
>head, causing his vision to drastically worsen, according to the indictment. 
>In 1987, an Army ophthalmology evaluation concluded Cook had 20/200 vision in 
>the right eye and 20/100 in the left eye and was “unfit for retention."

The Army discharged Cook in 1987, and following a medical evaluation, he began 
receiving VA disability-based compensation at a rate of 60%, according to the 
press release."Over the next 30 years, Cook’s disability-based compensation 
increased, following Cook’s repeated false claims of increased visual 
impairment and unemployability due to 'severe visual deficit,'" the release 
states.

The VA declared Cook legally blind in 2005, and he began receiving 
disability-based compensation at the maximum rate, the release states.

Despite his claims of vision impairment, investigators found Cook "repeatedly 
passed DMV vision screening tests to renew or obtain a driver’s license in 
North and South Carolina," the news release notes.

"Furthermore, during the relevant time period, court documents show that Cook 
purchased and registered over 30 different motor vehicles which Cook routinely 
drove, including on long-distance trips and to perform errands," the news 
release states.

Court records showed Cook, from 2010-2016, served as a den leader and cubmaster 
with the Boy Scouts of America, qualifying as a range officer for BB guns and 
for archery. "He was also certified for land navigation, which involves reading 
maps and using a compass," according to the press release.Ultimately, alerted 
by an anonymous tipster in 2017, Veterans Affairs investigators caught on to 
Cook's scheme.

Cook pleaded guilty in July 2021 to theft of public money. He will be ordered 
to report to the federal Bureau of Prisons upon designation of a federal 
facility, the press release states.U.S. Attorney Dena King thanked the 
VA-Office of Inspector General for their investigation of the case and noted 
the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Asheville prosecuted the case.
