1. News-
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.
