Number of disabled in India
Please note that these numbers are from Census 2001.
This was the first time that census captured the numbers and many
NGOs working in the field believe that the actual number will
be far more. (Many people did not disclose that they have a challenged
at home plus the census people also were not trained to get that
information out of the people sharing data). We will have the
2011 census out sooner and hope to have close the real numbers
in this census.

Where technology aids
February 9, 2012
Assistive technologies for the disabled have made the lives of
the physically challenged a lot easier
Heard of a process that allows the human head to work like a mouse
to control a computer? Mobile phone apps that can identify the
colour of an object by taking pictures of it? An application that
reads out the content of the text that you see on your mobile
phone screen?
