Right to Information Guide on Disability Issues
Sakshi Trust and ActionAid have produced a Right to Information guide to improve government facilities for Disabled People.
The book contains detailed information on the different benefits that a disabled person is entitled to from the government and provides a step-by-step guide on drafting a Right to Information application in the context of disability.
Ready to use applications have been pre-formatted and drafted so they can be easily used to seek information from any state or central government office.
The RTI guide has been designed especially for use by parents of disabled children, caregivers, students, development professionals or any concerned individual involved with disability.
The guide contains RTI applications for:
1. Obtaining a disability certificate
2. Facilitating barrier free access in government buildings
3. Improving access to public education and employment opportunities for disabled people
4. Ensuring complaints and appeals of disabled people are expedited by the Commissioner PWD
5. Reservation for PWD in poverty alleviation schemes
