Subject: TRYSEM training to disabled.

Sir,

I am directed to inform you that the persons with disabilities (Equal opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act was passed by parliament on 22nd Dec. 1995 and has come into force w.e.f 7th Feb. 1996. this Act is an important landmark in the empowerment of persons with disabilities through creation of equal opportunities and protection of their right. It has to be ensured that the provisions of the act are implemented faithfully and with promptitude while implementing the programme of this Ministry.

In this regard, under our TRYSEM programme training may be imparted to the local artisans for repairing of aids and appliances of the disabled. Physically disabled youth having aptitude could also themselves be chosen for such training. This world provide relief to the disabled living in the villages. The training can be arranged either in the vocation Rehabilitation Centres being run by the ministry of labour or in collaboration with reputed NGOs engaged in the field of the rehabilitation of the persons with disabilities.

The TRYSEM guidelines already provide that at least 3% other trainees under TRYSEM should be persons with disabilities. On completion of the training these persons are also entitled to receive booklets under the guidelines. In this regard, efforts should be made to provide such disabled trained persons aids and appliances under the ADIP scheme of the ministry of welfare with a view to ensuring greater mobility for such persons. These should be provided simultaneously with the TRYSEM Tool kits. The Ministry has already issued instructions for involving DRADs in the ADIP scheme of the Ministry of welfare as per our letter No. R-20013/5/96-IRD.I dated 18th Oct.1996 (Copy Enclosed).

Action taken in this regard may please be intimated to this ministry.

Yours Faithfully
(R.K. Mishra)
Joint Secretary (IRD)
