  • A Resource Book on Disability Studies in India
    A RESOURCE BOOK ON DISABILITY STUDIES IN INDIA Compiled by NILIKA MEHROTRA With assistance from Pooja Singh and Priyanka Saini Centre for the Study of Social Systems, School of Social Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, August 2016 i Preface The idea of a resource book emerged from the ongoing discourses, seminars, conferences and workshops around the topic and theme of disability studies. The conference that I had organized on Disability Studies in 2015 is what finally gave it the much needed momentum and it has taken the shape of what it is today. This piece of work was also made possible due to the funding and support of organizations like CSSS, GSP and ICSSR. It is hoped that the resource book will be a valuable tool to students, researchers and academicians alike. Given the vast arenas of knowledge present, and the number of organizations and institutions working towards the growth of disability studies and its allied causes, it was felt that there was an absence of all these sources at one place. The resource book should help fill this vacuum, as well as act as a catalyst for further research and disability research. An e-copy of this resource book will also be available at: http://www.jnu.ac.in/FacultyStaff/ShowProfile.asp?SendUserName=nilika ii CONTENTS 1) Disability Studies Programmes in India 2) NGOs and DPOs dealing with Disability in India Disability Networks on the Web Disability Groups 3) Bollywood Movies and Documentaries catering to the subject of Disability 4) Bibliography Disability, Gender and Sexuality

  • A Handbook for Parents of Children with Disabilities
    A HANDBOOK FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES GOVERNMENT OF INDIA PLANNING COMMISSION (Education Division) K.C PANT DEPUTY CHAIRMAN PLANNING COMMISSION INDIA February 12, 2002 FOREWORD The Planning Commission has taken a welcome initiative in bringing out a Handbook for the parents of children with disabilities. This handbook, which is, perhaps, the first publication of its kind, is a handy reference book for all those seeking information on identification and prevention of disabilities. The handbook provides very useful information about organizations and institutions engaged in dealing with disabilities, This alone makes the effort worthwhile, as it can act as an invaluable guide for the concerned parents. I am sure the handbook would be welcomed by parents as well as by all those working in the field of disability and rehabilitation and would, moreover, create greater awareness in the community about the existing facilities/ concessions designed to increase the flow of benefits to children with disabilities. I place on record my appreciation particularly to Dr. K. Venlatasubramanian, Member, Planning Commission, Mrs. Kiran Aggarwal, Principal Adviser (Education), and Ms Renu Sobti, Senior Research Officer, for giving form, shape and content to the concept in a manner which reflects a sensitive appreciation of human sentiments and societal needs. (K.C.Pant) PREFACE The Persons with Disabilities Act,1995, has placed responsibility on the government to ensure that every child with a disability has access to free education in an appropriate environment till he attains the age of 18 years. Recently the programme of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan(SSA) has been approved with the aim that all the children in the age group of 6-14 are able to complete 8 years of schooling by 2010.
