By Payal Jethra

If you, like me are visually impaired, then I’d say all of us are “spiritually gifted. Want to know why? Because…….the one window of “sight pollution” is shut.

Fri, 03/19/2021 - 10:25 -- geeta.nair

Groups for differently-abled persons share their views on how to make the polling booths more disabled-friendly

Elections after elections, orthopedically-challenged K. Selvi would crawl to the polling booth at a government school in Vadakkarai near Red Hills. At the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the polling booth became a little less inaccessible, as it offered her a wheelchair. However, without a volunteer to push the wheelchair, Selvi’s sister ended up doing it, while holding her eight-month-old baby.

20-year-old Mansoor Pasha from Mysore, Karnataka is blind by birth. But he is an independent young boy who makes a decent living, running a mobile recharge shop. He also sells cosmetic items to supplement his earnings. Mansoor travels to Bangalore at least twice a week to acquire products and for other business purposes. He uses a free monthly bus pass issued by the Karnataka State Transport Corporation to visually impaired people, for interstate travel.

Digital Discrimination?

Vineet Saraiwala works as Inclusion Lead with the Future Group and is also the Founder of Atypical Advantage, India's first talent platform for people with disabilities. His vision impairment has never been an excuse in life. Economic independence is not only about earning a decent sum but also having the liberty to access the money on your own. Vineet often struggles with payment gateways during online transactions as certain features are inaccessible to his screen reading device. Frustrated and limited by such experiences, he is forced to take sighted help.
