Many differently-abled voters said they found it tough to cast their vote at different polling stations in the district on Monday. Some didn’t find a Braille electronic voting machine (EVM) or voter identity slip, others found doors of polling booths locked and some had to walk inside the booth with their crutches due to the absence of wheelchairs.
Double or differential standards is perhaps a common thing in India so far as discriminating on the basis of disability is concerned. Persons with disabilities are often classified separately from their non-disabled counterparts, to deny them equal rights; or to strangulate a person by placing so many additional requirements, it becomes impossible to fulfill all of them even with all the Divyang powers one has.

With Diwali approaching, we all are gearing up to celebrate the festival of lights with our loved ones. While we have plenty of options to choose from, there are a few among us who may not have everything easy. Yet, they are putting in their best to enjoy festivities and are also working towards helping others have a good time too. Here’s what these Pune-based organisations are doing to help the less fortunate celebrate a memorable Diwali.

THE 2017 census shows that only 0.48 per cent of Pakistanis are persons with disability. Assuming a population of 210 million, this comes to about 1m Pakistanis. Sample-based surveys show that the percentage of Pakistanis with disability is around 12pc or slightly more. This comes to about 25m Pakistanis. There is a massive difference between 1m and 25m people. Planning for a million people is very different from planning for 25m. Numbers matter. Getting accurate numbers matters.
In today’s age of advance technology, a lot of devices, gadgets, and programs are built to make our lives easier and more convenient. While the more recent innovations were designed for entertainment, some companies are taking technology to the next level by incorporating a high level of help and hopefully, to make a difference to the lives of people who need it the most.

July 2, 2018, was an inflection point in my life. It changed many things for me and the way I felt about my disability.
This was the first day that I entered National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru — the first 100% visually impaired student in its glorious history of 31 years. Venkat Rao, the former vice-chancellor of NLSIU, greeted our batch saying that our journey from the university to the universe had begun.

Identity cards and photo voter slips had been printed in Braille for the convenience of visually impaired persons in the state, said Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Anurag Agarwal.
Apart from this, many types of facilities are being provided to specially abled voters, including the provision of wheelchairs, ramps at polling stations and transport facilities.
KOCHI: Walking by the road or crossing it is a huge task for Yeldo K Abraham who is visually challenged. He might have the iconic white cane with the red band in his hand. But it doesn’t protect him from falling into an open drain or getting crushed under a speeding vehicle. It is a tough life for a disabled person, said Yeldo, assistant trainer, Rotary Cochin Global Foundation (RCGF).
