Dear All,
I must congratulate Navneetji, for arranging such an excellent seminar. It has amply demonstrated her organizational skills and her widespread contacts in the PH community as well as larger section of the society. I was equally impressed by the number of non -handicapped volunteers present on the day. This shows that a large number of people are now showing concern about our affairs.
Meanwhile, we have placed a charter of demands to EOO. This was from the point of view of employees only. Let the students come out with their charter of demands also, because they know their problems better than us. That can be presented to the chief advisor on the occasion of World disability day.
Now we need to fight together so our demands are met.
To,
Professor Sonajaria Minz

Subject: Immediate Charter of demands of JNUDPA
regarding teachers and staffs
Dear Madam,
The J.N.U Disabled persons’ association takes this opportunity to present their ( teachers and staff component) immediate charter of demands
(1) JNUDPA prays that the University officially recognizes the JNUDPA. This means the circulars that go to SC/ST association , should also come to JNUDPA.
(2) JNUDPA prays that the equal opportunity office forwards an application to State Bank of India from JNUDPA to open a bank account in name of JNUDPA.
(3) The 3% reservation for physically challenged in campus housing remains only in paper. We pray that “The equal opportunity office” writes to the Ministry of Social Justice and the Ministry of urban affairs to issue a specific government circular regarding this , so that this can be implemented in reality.
(4) The JNUDPA requests to Equal Opportunity Office to write to Ministry of surface transport , Delhi Government and DTC, to extend the validity of Bus passes issued to physically challenged, valid for Green Buses only to Red Buses (AC buses) also.
(5) The JNUDPA also prays for regularization of job of Sri Shishu Pal , who is working on ad-hoc basis
(6) JNUDPA prays that wheel-chairs,( preferably mechanized )should be kept in every school.
At the end, JNUDPA prays that some office space be given to JNUDPA ( old JNUTA office in the Aravalli Guest house?) and office furniture be issued.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely
Shree Nand Kishore Dr. S. S. Maitra
