India And disability

                   I think there are no two thoughts when it comes to how disabled friendly is India. Any work related with government, instead of making it easy for people with disabilities, there is on contrary a round about and never ending procedure, that will actually turn out to be a test of endurance and positivity.

                   Am experiencing this to get a 4 wheeler driving license. I also got to know some shocking truth. Government gives 400 rupees per month as a pension for people with more than 75% disability. While am sure the same people with a never say die attitude will be earning many times this frugal amount. Its an insult to the person. What can a person get with 400 rupees a month in India?
                 In this context, I would like to provide a link to one of the episodes of Satyamevjayate, where very relevant facts and solutions have been mentioned.

Every example in this program is inspirational including a small girl who doesn't blame any one or God but has only hope to betterment.

We don't need the money that govt gives, but the infrastructure and facilities to work have to be designed and implemented. How can make this happen?
