New Delhi: A father’s fight for the dignity of his daughter, who has a 65% intellectual disability, has made the court of the Chief Commissioner in the court for the instructions of the persons with disabilities to overcome the situation, has changed the use of “mental retardation” to the Indian Railways with a railway conservation certificate with “intellectual disability”. A disability rights advocate, Pankaj Maru had failed to receive a response from the Railways about the terminology used in the concession certificate issued to his daughter, Sonu (26). On July 12 last year, he filed a complaint with the CCPD court about his daughter’s disability details – “Mansik Roop Se Vikrit”.‘Use of derogatory terms goes against SC guidelines’ This (the issue of vocabulary) despite Pankaj Maru was despite presenting his daughter’s unique disability ID card with an application, in which her disability was described as intellectual disabilities, taking into account the provisions of rights of the disabled persons (RPWD) Act, 2016. In its final order on Thursday, the CCPD said that the Railway Board had informed the court on 14 July that a instruction was issued on 9 May, stating that the Ministry of Railways had decided to replace the word “mentally dim individuals” with “persons with intellectual disabilities”. The change has been implemented from 1 June. CCPD emphasized the criticism of language in ensuring the dignity of people with disabilities. Given that the board had already released a circular in 2018, the words like “blind”, “deaf and physically challenged” were replaced with the conditions prescribed in the RPWD Act, the court recommended that the Railways should review their existing forms and all other documents to determine it to review its existing forms to determine whether the same reforms need to be ensured and to ensure that the existing station should be ensured to ensure that there is any evolving stations and to ensure that evidence of the same. It is also not used for certification. CCPD, in its complaint, cited the concern raised by the MARU that old and derogatory words like “disabled” still appear in pre -regional concession certificate format, which goes against SC guidelines on respectable disability vocabulary. The CCPD has sought an action taken within three months and has also asked the Railways to sensitize its employees on the types of types and sub-types. In his comments in the case in February, CCPD had confronted the interpretation of the Railways as the concession continues with the use of “mental retardation” in the concession forms. It has been mentioned that “Railway Board’s dispute that intellectual disability and mental behavior is defined separately in the RPWD Act, 2016 Schedule, but their average is that ‘mental behavior’ has not been defined under ‘mental behavior’. In fact, in fact, the definition of ‘mental behavior’ in the schedule of law is clearly ‘” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “
