Urging India to take lead the cause of the disabled, a coalition of NGOs from over 15 states have come up with a draft recommendation demanding integration of disability in the broader national and global discourse.
Disability has not been included in the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDG) of 2000, which is nearing end of its time-frame in the year 2015. Therefore, rights activists say it is better to focus on evolving a new framework rather than dwelling upon the "shortfalls in the MDG."
The marginalization of children with disabilities in critical areas like health and education not only has damaging consequences for the young people themselves but also the wider community, according to a landmark UNICEF report released today on 30 May.
Children with disabilities and their communities would both benefit if society focused on what those children can achieve, rather than what they cannot do, according to UNICEF's annual State of the World's Children's report.
Concentrating on the abilities and potential of children with disabilities would create benefits for society as a whole, says the report released today.
The Deputy Minister of Social Welfare, Gender and Children’s Affairs, Mustapha Atila has reiterated that the National Commission for Persons with Disability was not set up by the APC government to offer gifts or handouts; stressing that the commission should only focus on creating the enabling environment for persons with disabilities in Sierra Leone.
How blind is India's education system? While some top officials at CBSE and IIT JEE committee mull over this question, a brilliant, hard working and smart student has decided that it's better to take his talents abroad where they will be fully appreciated rather than waste his energy trying to fight the system in India. And oh, did we forget to mention. The student in question happens to be visually impaired.
New Delhi student Kartik Sawhney, 18, is visually impaired. India's Central Board of Secondary Education failed to cater to his condition, exempting him from math and science course because of their visual aspects.
This didn't stop the science-loving teen from fighting for his right to an education. With the help of his school and an NGO campaign, Kartik was able to negotiate his way into science classes.
This Monday, he received a final mark of 95 per cent in his science class.

Kartik Sawhney, a visually-impaired teen from New Delhi, is changing the way Indian educators look at disabled students. Sawhney, 18, pulled through challenging science courses in the country's central board exams with flying colors and is now set to attend Stanford University this fall.
Because of the heavily visual aspects of high school math and science courses (graphs and diagrams, for example), India's Central Board of Secondary Education opposed Sawhney's desires to study those subjects, according to the Times of India.
