How do you think we can further change our outlook and attitude towards the specially-abled? What efforts do we need to take in bringing them to the mainstream?

Changing attitude is the most important. I don't know about other places, but Assam differently abled people are always looked down upon by others. They are mentally tortured, teased, harrassed in institutions, in market places. I therefore request govt launch a tv and radio advertisement to appeal people to change their attitude and let their fellow friends to enjoy the freedom of life which are differently abled.

We have to make our schools easy for all students to access. A parent called me to ask how he could help his son who uses a wheelchair. He was a 7th std boy with average intelligence but he was placed in a 4th std Maths class. When i asked why, the father replied that the 7th std Maths class was upstairs and there was no ramp. This is a waste of the student's potential. We need to make sure that every Indian citizen has full opportunity to succeed.

If a student is struggling academically for 3 years in school, s/he should be assessed to see if there are any disabilities. The student should not be allowed to fall behind in studies for very long before giving help. If there is a learning disability or a mild hearing or vision impairment, then we have to start helping before the student falls too far behind in studies. Such students might have good intelligence (cognition) and they can do well with a little help.

I'm a special educator interested in inclusive education. Invisible disabilities are hard for teachers to understand because the student does not look different in any way. In order to change attitudes about invisible and other disabilities as well, I conduct a non-technical simulation lab in which participants feel like they have the disability. This changes their attitude towards struggling students. Such a lab should be compulsorily included in the B.Ed course itself.

Financially well off citizens maybe requested to voluntarily give up the right to 12 subsidised cylinders Being personally involved with the Slum dwellers , I have first hand experience of their actual consumption of LPG Cylinders Those in the BPL category cannot consume more than 6 cylinders annually since their cooking is not that elaborate.Their entitlement should be reduced to max 6 only to stop sale of LPG Cylinders in black market and thus save huge amounts of Govt.funds and subsidies.

require EVERY elected MP and MLA to spend at least ONE day a month volunteering at a differently-abled event. Let them be the get ahead and drive awareness about the strengths and challenges faced by the differently-abled. Also provide funding and a platform for Bollywood movies that tackle the issues of differently-abled citizens. Where there is a collective effort and focus, there will be results to show. Make this more than a media campaign.

Hon.PM,India, In previous posts I have submitted a proposal on de-addiction and unemployment. Now I am submitting a proposal on NGOs for social welfare in the form of a scheme. If you found it valuable, please give me a chance to implement it on ground lavel. CENTRAL NONGOVERNMENT ORGANISATION(NGO) SCHEME »The aim of this scheme is the proper and effective use of the donation as well as to promote more and more people for charity which will subsequently used to establish the socialism in India. »In this scheme govt. collects the donation and distribute it to the NGOs according to their effeciency and public need. »List out all the NGOs in India. Observe their distribution and area of interest(whether they are working for childrens or justice or health etc.,). »Make a chart showing NGOs, their work-place and the target(which they works for). With this chart, we can make a clear picture about their distribution i.e. where they are exeeding and where they are less in numbers and also which type of NGO is needed(based on their area of interest) in which area. »Now categorise the existing NGOs into four groups A, B, C and D on the basis of their efficiency(their honpur work for the society) so that central funding can be given to them thereby. »Now we have to determine that in which area(tahsils/talukas), how many and which type of NGOs are required according to the public need. If we have the above data then in future we can promote the new NGOs to work in the areas where they are actually needed. And if the new NGOs works according to the suggestions of central NGO then they will be given central fund. »Open a central NGO office in Delhi which serves as the supreme of all offices, and regional offices in all the states and its branches in all tahsils/talukas. »Make a compaign to aware the people that they can donate their money, toys, cloths, etc., to the branches of central NGO office nearby them and that this donation is only used for the funding of NGOs with good faith. »The donation then collected at the branches is send to the regional offices and thereby central office. »The central office distribute the fund according to the need of the people and effeciency of the NGOs, so that the proper management of the funding is done. »people who have 'black money' and want to donate it but have the fear of catching by the law, can collect the money secretely at any time in the boxes placed outside the branch offices(insted of destroying or donating it to the temples). »Govt. also have to provide an online link to donate black money which doesnt trace the identity of donours to promote the donation of black money. »To promote the charity, central NGO office have to issue charity coupons to the donours according to their donations(e.g. more than 10 thouand, 1 lakh etc.,) which gives them preferance in the queues of railway ticket booking, govt. offices, etc., »Clothes, toys, furnitures, medicines and other stationaries can be collected and a proper receipt is given to the donours. »The scheme doesnt mean that the NGOs themselve can't collect donations, they can collect it but the scheme provides an easy way for the people to donate. »By following this scheme, we can decrease the load on govt. expenditure and can create the spirit of national integrity. Sir, I thought that this is a unique scheme of this type. Kindly think on it. Thanking you. Yours faithfully, A. Y. Bajad
