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.
