Divyang Empowerment An introduction to Disability in the country : Indian is grappling with a lack of infrastructure for the disabled. Most of the time the country is unable to reach a large fraction of affected people. Even though the government is consistently trying to bridge this gap, the infrastructure is not enough to support the affected divyangs. While estimates vary, about 25 million people in India were found to have disability as per the official statistics. However, some sources claim that the

magnitude in actuality is more with at least 5 per cent of the population suffering from one disability or the other and the official statistics accounting for only the most severe ones. By and large, people with disability are further disabled through unequal treatment and denial of basic rights by society in general. The voiceless disabled people are an inseparable part of India’s growing population of marginalised, weaker and vulnerable sections of society. A.) Demand / supply situation of moving disability AID in India: – Out of all kinds of disabilities more than 54 lakh people are affected by immobility and this is growing @3%. per annum. There is a need for more than 15 lakh wheel chairs at present. Out of these 54 lakh people 35 lakh are from below the poverty line. India manufactures and distributes less then 2-lakh wheel chairs per annum. Adding to this less than 40,000 battery operated wheel chairs or tricycles are made in the country. The challenge is to reach at least 10 lakhs with battery operated wheel chairs or tricycles. B.) Quality and Ergonomics of products: – Most of the wheel chairs manufactured in India are not comfortable. Since most wheel chairs are distributed free of cost they are of sub standard quality. The Rights of Persons with Disability Bill 2016 The government has brought out 119 amendments to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill, 2014. This will replace the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995. The Bill has been brought out to comply with the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities, to which India became a signatory in 2007.

The 1995 Act recognised 7 disabilities — blindness, low vision, leprosy-cured, hearing impairment, locomotor disability, mental retardation and mental illness. The 2014 Bill expanded the definition of disability to cover 19 conditions, including cerebral palsy, haemophilia, multiple sclerosis, autism and thalassaemia among others. The Bill also allowed the central government to notify any other condition as a disability. The Bill makes a larger number of people eligible for rights and entitlements by reason of their disability, and for welfare schemes and reservations in government jobs and education. The Rights of Persons with Disability Bill 2016 came into force on 16 December 2016 The salient features of the Bill are: Disability has been defined based on an evolving and dynamic concept. The types of disabilities have been increased from existing 7 to 21 and the Central Government will have the power to add more types of disabilities. The 21 disabilities are given below:Blindness Low-vision Leprosy Cured persons Hearing Impairment (deaf and hard of hearing) Loco motor Disability Dwarfism Intellectual Disability Mental Illness Autism Spectrum Disorder Cerebral Palsy Muscular Dystrophy

Chronic Neurological conditions Specific Learning Disabilities Multiple Sclerosis Speech and Language disability Thalassemia Hemophilia Sickle Cell disease Multiple Disabilities including deaf and blindness Acid Attack victim Parkinson’s disease In addition, the Government has been authorised to notify any other category of specified disability. Responsibility has been cast upon the appropriate governments to take effective measures to ensure that the persons with disabilities enjoy their rights equally with others. Additional benefits such as reservation in higher education, government jobs, reservation in allocation of land, poverty alleviation schemes etc. have been provided for persons with benchmark disabilities and those with high support needs. Every child with benchmark disability between the age group of 6 and 18 years shall have the right to free education. Government funded educational institutions as well as the government recognised institutions will have to provide inclusive education to the children with disabilities. For strengthening the Prime Minister’s Accessible India Campaign, stress has been given to ensure accessibility in public buildings (both Government and private) in a prescribed time-frame.

Reservation in vacancies in government establishments has been increased from 3% to 4% for certain persons or class of persons with benchmark disability. The Bill provides for grant of guardianship by District Court under which there will be joint decision – making between the guardian and the persons with disabilities. Broad based Central & State Advisory Boards on Disability are to be set up to serve as apex policy making bodies at the Central and State level. Office of Chief Commissioner of Persons with Disabilities has been strengthened who will now be assisted by 2 Commissioners and an Advisory Committee comprising of not more than 11 members drawn from experts in various disabilities. Similarly, the office of State Commissioners of Disabilities has been strengthened who will be assisted by an Advisory Committee comprising of not more than 5 members drawn from experts in various disabilities. The Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities and the State Commissioners will act as regulatory bodies and Grievance Redressal agencies and also monitor implementation of the Act. District level committees will be constituted by the State Governments to address local concerns of PwDs. Details of their constitution and the functions of such committees would be prescribed by the State Governments in the rules. Creation of National and State Fund will be created to provide financial support to the persons with disabilities. The existing National Fund for Persons with Disabilities and the Trust Fund for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities will be subsumed with the National Fund. The Bill provides for penalties for offences committed against persons with disabilities and also violation of the provisions of the new law. Special Courts will be designated in each district to handle cases concerning violation of rights of PwDs.

The New Act will bring our law in line with the United National Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), to which India is a signatory. This will fulfill the obligations on the part of India in terms of UNCRD. Further, the new law will not only enhance the Rights and Entitlements of Divyangjan but also provide effective mechanism for ensuring their empowerment and true inclusion into the Society in a satisfactory manner. Conclusion More than 50% of the Divyangs are suffering from disability of movement. With our equipment we at intent to change the lives of millions by providing better mobility to these Divyangs. Come, be a part of our dream…….. Donate and help our worthy case.

Youth Empowerment In each group, there is the need for an older person who is a true friend and mentor to the youth and can assist them in the development of their capacities. Those who perform such a function are known as the animators of junior youth groups. Their presence helps the members of each group to remain hopeful and convinced that they can protect themselves against the negative influences of a disintegrating society surrounding them, and to discuss and act upon ways to advance this society. Although serving in this capacity is not an exclusive prerogative of any particular age, older youth tend to make excellent animators as they find it easy to treat the junior youth not as children but as equals, and to encourage them to ask questions, express doubts, and engage in the investigation of reality.

Jail Reformation The Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 directs that in no case a juvenile in conflict with law shall be placed in a police lockup or be lodged in a Jail. Children in conflict with the law under the Juvenile Justice Act 2000 and children living in government institutions are in need of care and protection. We work with institutions in collaboration with the state government and have managed to bring about a lot of changes in the lives of these children. Through Judicial intervention,

children now get education facilities, health facilities, special food for malnourished children and also vocational training. While meeting with districts authorities regarding children in need of care and protection, Dr. Yogesh Dube, as the then Member of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Government of India came to know that in district jails, children aged till 6 years live with their mothers. These children are living there according to the UP jail manual. Children living in Jails with mothers are also in need of care and protection. Apart from this a large number of children below 18 yrs who are under trail or convicted, live in the Juvenile cell of Jails. Under the Integrated Child protection scheme of the Central government there are observation homes in all the states where children below 18 years in conflict with law reside. The Juvenile cell in jails is meant for persons in the 18 – 21 age group. In women cells too children aged between 0-6 yrs live with their convicted / under trail mother’s. Some of these children attend school one km outside the jail premises. These small children are also in need of protection. A team comprising of members from QICAC (Quality Institutional Care and Alternative for Children) and CRY (Child Rights and You) New Delhi supported alliance and associated in an initiative by U.P based voluntary organizations working for the social emancipation of child labour and children in servitude, in Uttar Pradesh led Dr. Yogesh Dube, visited the Allahabad, Varanasi, and Agra Jails in Uttar Pradesh, to study the issues of Health, Education, Nutrition and psychological concerns and the rights, dignity and development of children living in the most difficult circumstances. The Report of the visit has been shared with the Uttar Pradesh State Government in 2016. The Team will also be visiting theSonbhadra, Kaushambi, Badaun, Lucknow, and Mathura Jails in Uttar Pradesh. Dr. Yogesh Dube decided to visit the jails in Maharashtra. Permission for the same has been sought and a team of dedicated personalities, comprising research scholars, counselors and representatives of health sector under the guidance of Dr. Yogesh Dube are in the process of visiting Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Nagpur – the Women district jails to study the status of the issues of Health, Education, Nutrition and psychological concerns.

This study report shall be shared with the Maharashtra State government with suggestions and recommendations for improvements, once the study is completed. The Team along with Dr. Yogesh Dube also visited Tihar in Delhi, Chandigarh, Amritsar, Jaipur, Moradabad, Dhanbad, Agra, Varanasi and many other District / Central Jails to find out if there were any juvenile kept in Jails due to wrong recording of age during the investigation. Among the under-trials as well as convicted inmates in these Jails numerous inmates claimed that they were below the age of 18 years on the date of offence for which they have been accused. However, only few of those inmates had documents to prove their claim, but a majority of them did not have any proof of age. This was found to be a gross violation of Juvenile Justice Act and Child Rights. Spot recommendations were provided to Jail officials. We also decided to take up the matter with NHRC so that direct investigation in all the Jails located in all the States be carried out to ensure that no juvenile languish in Jails and also ensure the safety of women and health, nutrition, education and welfare of their children who are permissible in Jails. Dr Yogesh Dube also visited Tihar Jail to review the status of juveniles in Jail. It was through the intervention of Dr. Yogesh Dube, that the NHRC took a SuoMoto Cognizance of the matter and issued detailed notices to all the Chief Secretaries and Administrator of the States and Union Territories to report compliance pertaining to different provisions of Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Rules, 2007 and Rule 12 of the Rules 2007 and summons were also issued.
