...education is process of strengthening the capacity of the education system to reach out to all learners, irrespective of their abilities, disabilities, ethnicity, gender and age, and receives quality education. The purpose of the study is to ensure that all children gain access to quality education that will prepare them to contribute to country’s progress. Recommendations to send children with disabilities to mainstream schools were first made in the Sargent Report in 1944 and thereafter the Government of India has created numerous policies around inclusive education since the country’s independence. Despite the promotion of inclusive education, Govt. has focus on inclusive education as being about inclusion in the education system, but not specifically in the mainstream. We have adopted qualitative approach and secondary information on the status of inclusive education obtained from government documents, reports and available literature for the study. The review concludes although India’s remarkable progress to provide inclusive education, there is need to bridge the gaps in education system to build a strong system of inclusive education and must continue to improve the lives of its citizens. The study will help us have holistic perspective with respect to dealing with inclusive education.

...A general definition of social justice is hard to arrive at and even harder to implement. In essence, social justice is concerned with equal justice, not just in the courts, but in all aspects of society. This concept demands that people have equal rights and opportunities; everyone, from the poorest person on the margins of society to the wealthiest deserves an even playing field. Social justice generally refers to the idea of creating a society or institution that is based on the principles of equality and solidarity, that understands and values human rights, and that recognizes the dignity of every human being.The term and modern concept of "social justice" was coined by the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in 1840 based on the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas and given further exposure in 1848 by Antonio Rosmini-Serbati. The idea was elaborated by the moral theologian John A. Ryan, who initiated the concept of a living wage. Father Coughlin also used the term in his publications in the 1930s and the 1940s. It is a part of Catholic social teaching, Social Gospel from Episcopalians and is one of the Four Pillars of the Green Party upheld by green parties worldwide. Social justice as a secular concept, distinct from religious teachings, emerged mainly in the late twentieth century, influenced primarily by philosopher John Rawls. Some tenets of social justice have been adopted by those on the left of the political spectrum. Social justice is based on the concepts of human rights and...

Impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Thus disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives.” Disabled people the world over experience discrimination and inequality. Many people with disabilities do not have equal access to health care, edu¬cation, and employment opportunities, do not receive the disability-related services that they require, and experience exclusion from everyday life activities. Following the entry into force of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), disability is increasingly understood as a human rights issue.

Pal HR, Saxena S, Chandrashekhar K, Sudha SJ, Murthy RS, Thara R, Srinivasan TN, Gupta D, Singh U. All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi 110029, India. Abstract BACKGROUND: Systematic research into disability has been scarce, especially from India, even though an estimated 5% of the population may have significant disability due to physical disorders. Depression as a common psychiatric disorder affects about 3%-5% of the population. Thus, the impact of disability related to physical, mental and substance use disorders is enormous and it influences resource allocation and policy planning. METHODS: The issues relating to disability were addressed through a qualitative multicentered study. Focus groups were conducted at three sites in Chennai, Bangalore and Delhi on three themes: (i) parity, stigmatization and social participation; (ii) current practices and needs; and (iii) the General Disability Model as proposed by the World Health Organization. The focus groups were homogeneous and included members from six categories of participants: individuals with physical disability, individuals with mental disability, individuals with alcohol/drug-related disability, family members of mentally disabled persons, family members of physically disabled persons and health professionals. In all, 118 groups were conducted with a mean (SD) group size of 8.6 (1.6). RESULTS:...

Some countries where IMR rates are high, mortality rates for children with disabilities is as high as 80%. Some suspect that children with disabilities are being purposely weeded out. 90% of children with disabilities worldwide do not attend school. Conflict areas find that for every one child that is killed, three are injured and permanently disabled. Children with disabilities are at a 1.7 times greater risk of being subjected to some form of violence. According to CRIN over 150 million children worldwide have a disability. 50% of children with a hearing impairment and 60% of those with an intellectual impairment are sexually abused. There are many medical professionals who kill children with disabilities and right them of as mercy killings. 90% of the children with disabilities will not survive pass twenty years of age. Children with disabilities face discrimination not only in services but also in the justice system as they are often not considered credible witnesses. In India children with disabilities mainly comes under the purview of the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment. Some of the issues are dealt with by the health ministry. But no single ministry has been assigned the protection of these children, which leads to varying data about occurrence of disability amongst children. In India 1.67% of the...

...with disabilities in higher education institutions in Andhra Pradesh Introduction Article 45(a) of the Constitution of India has guaranteed education as a fundamental right for every citizen. For this the government of India has been taking steps for equalization of educational opportunities to its entire people since independence (Das, 2000).

But out 348 universities in India only 54 Universities and colleges were identified by UGC to grant funds for making friendly /accessible environment for differently abled students with in the campus.

A few of the items Jason wants Traci to keep in mind are first, Bollman Hotels wants to be comparable to other international chains. Second, the expansion to India is new so the pay and benefits strategies must work well there. Third, Bollman Hotels plans to add 20% to their current workforce. Lastly, the annual net revenue is $100 million with an expected 15% growth after the first year. To be comparable to other international hotel chains, Bollman Hotels must know the standard pay and standard benefits offered to U.S. citizens working abroad and the pay and benefits offered to local, national employees in those countries. The expansion to India is preferred due to India being the world’s preferred outsourcing destination. “Companies are able to stay ahead of the competition, control cost, increase quality and reduce time to market. India is one of the ten fastest growing economies in the world. In a recent survey conducted in the US, 82% of US-based companies have voted for India as their first and most preferred choice." (Outsource2India, 2014). The addition of 5,000 employees is a positive gesture between Bollman Hotels and the local economy of India. Not only does that boost the local economy, it also gets the Bollman Hotel name out as possibly a new and great franchise to work for that takes pride in and supports its employees.

I will assist the following clients. * A small business owner in a limousine service doing business in Texas. * A Human Resources Director of a medium sized construction company that wants to open up operations in Arizona. * A Human Resources representative with a large hotel that wants to expand its operations into the country of India. Landslide Limousines as a small business client. Bradley Stonefield wants to open a “first-class” limousine service in Austin, Texas as an on-going concern. He projects that there will be 25 employees hired at the outset. He will organize as a small business and he will be subject to state and federal laws in the recruitment and retention of drivers, as well as licensing requirements that will be determined by the state of Texas. The labor market conditions will help dictate which federal and state laws will be used. The limousine service will have to comply with a number of federal employment laws. First, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Cascio, 2013, p.83) prohibits the discrimination in hiring and promotions based on race, color, religion, and sex of the applicant...

...Status of children in India India has the largest number of children in the world. More than one-third of the country's population is below 18 years. Millions of children in India grow up uncared for, condemned to miserable conditions. They live in abject poverty without any sort of medical treatment, education or food. The status of children in India is very alarming. India has made some significant commitments towards ensuring the basic rights of children. There has been progress in overall indicators: infant mortality rates are down, child survival is up, literacy rates have improved and school dropout rates have fallen. But the issue of child rights in India is still caught between legal and policy commitments to children on the one hand, and the fallout of the process of globalisation on the other. Over the last decade, countries across the world have been changing their existing economic models in favour of one driven by the free market, incorporating processes of liberalisation, privatisation and globalisation. The direct impact of free trade on children may not leap to the eye, but we do know that globalised India is witnessing worsening levels of basic health, nutrition and shelter. Children are suffering as a result of social sector cutbacks/policies and programmes and development initiatives that deprive communities and families of access to and control over land, forest and water resources they have traditionally depended on. The negative fallout is visible: children...
