Need to upgrade DPM School for the Hearing & Visually Impaired.
Three visually impaired students from the Donyi Polo Mission School
for the Hearing & Visually Impaired, Itanagar, passing the 2017 Class
X board examinations is a landmark in the history of rehabilitation of
differently-abled children in Arunachal Pradesh.
Toku Mary from Palin, and Switzer Taggu and Ree Koyu from Pasighat
were the three who passed the board examinations and set an example.
This also leads to a strong need for upgrading the school to higher
secondary level in the larger interest of blind children to continue
their higher education in their home state.
Twelve other children of the school are going to appear for the Class
X board examinations this year.
Disability is generally linked with poverty. Most such children belong
to rural areas, and require free education to be part of the main
stream society. Parents often neglect and deprive their children from
receiving higher education outside the state owing to economic
hardship. Source:

around the world to spread the message of peace and coexistence. The

Shambhoor government school students shine at national event
Yakshagana staged by government school children of Dakshina Kannada
has bagged the first prize at a national-level competition organised
by the Union government in Bhopal. A visually- impaired girl was among
the 10 students who performed.
The prasanga (episode) titled “Kishkinda Koutuka” performed by Bondala
Jagannatha Shetty Memorial Government High School, Shambhoor in
Bantwal taluk, was adjudged the best in the three-day Kala Utsav held
from January 3.
A team of 10 students staged it under the drama category competing
with 33 teams.
What tilted the scale in favour of the school in the competition was
role of Class 10 student Chandrika, a visually-impaired student.
“Chandrika’s performance helped us earn full marks allocated
especially for performance by visually-impaired students,” said Mr.
Kamalaksha, who travelled with the team to Bhopal.

Enabling a law: rights of the disabled.
The Supreme Court has struck a blow for the rights of the disabled,
with a direction to the Central and State governments to provide full
access to public facilities, such as buildings and transport, within
stipulated deadlines. People with a disability form 2.21% of India’s
population according to the 2011 Census. They have had a law for two
decades to enable their full participation in society, but successive
governments have done little to realise those guarantees. Now, in
response to a public interest petition filed by a visually handicapped
activist, the court has issued a series of orders: that all government
buildings should be made accessible by June 2019; half of all
government buildings in the capital cities should meet accessibility
norms by December this year; the Railways should present a report in
three months from December 15 on implementing station facilities; 10%
of government public transport must be fully accessible by March 2018;
and advisory boards should be formed by the States and Union
Territories in three months. The court’s directions should be welcomed
by the government and service providers as an opportunity to steer
policy and practice towards a universal and humane system. For too
long, planners and designers have built infrastructure for use only by
able-bodied individuals, ignoring the aspirations of those with
disabilities, and the letter of the law. Source:

1. Divyang’ replaces ‘viklang’ in Railways’ certificate to disabled.
NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Railways has made
formal changes in concession certificate issued to people with
disabilities clearly listing out how they be addressed. The move comes
after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s suggestion in 2015 that persons
with disabilities be addressed as ‘divyangs’ (divine bodies) instead
of ‘viklang’. Interestingly, it took the Railways almost two years to
formally make the changes in travel concession forms issued to people
with disabilities. Source:

3. Here's proof that blindness is no barrier to app-making
Can blind people write programming codes?
The answer would be a firm yes as you watch them clustered around
tables, putting their heads down and discussing what kind of apps to
create in a 24-hour period at the hackathon held at the International
Institute for Information Technology-Bangalore on Saturday.
The sighted people are not present to help them, but to partner with
them in the effort.
Organised by I-Stem, a self-advocacy group with 10 blind students
pursuing BTech in IITs, IIITs and NITs, the hackathon is to
demonstrate the ability of the blind to work in an inclusive team.
"Part of our activity is to sensitise teachers, students and special
instructors on the possibility of the blind students learning science
and math at school," said Kartik Sawhney, a visually challenged MS
Computer Science graduate from Stanford University, who created I-Stem
with fellow blind persons pursuing technology programmes.
The 10 work with the zeal of an evangelist in persuading teachers,
special educators and even students to make science, engineering and
math learning accessible to the blind.
"Sometimes talk is cheap and we need to demonstrate the difference
science/engineering education can make to a blind person by doing
something as hands-on as this," Sawhney, who would take up a job with
Microsoft soon, added.
In total, there are 12 groups of blind and sighted individuals
building various apps. Source:

road navigating skills.

a policy circular dated January 12, which was released recently.
The word 'blind' will now be replaced by 'person with visual

Budget: Tokenism for disabled
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's Budget 2018-19 has come as a shock for
the disability sector. The increase in the allocation proposed to the
Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPWD) -- from
Rs 855 crore last year to Rs 1070 crore this year -- is peanuts. The
department was established in 2012 to look after disability affairs in
the country. A cursory look at its short stint shows that the
department is far behind in achieving its transformative objectives of
providing Unique Identity Cards to the disabled, facilitating
Accessible India campaign, setting up of regional sports centres for
the disabled and establishing the National University of
Rehabilitation and Disability Studies proposed in the previous years'
budgets. The meagre funds provided to the department and shuffling of
officials at short intervals are the main hurdles in the smooth
implementation of the projects. Such lackadaisical approach on the
part of the government which is bent on imposing the patronising term
'divyang' (divine body') on the disabled is a cause of great concern.
