Day 1930: Kerala’s disability policy

Great policies mean nothing unless they are implemented properly – that’s what I want politicians to realize

 

It’s 9: 27 PM on day 1834 of my journey towards independence and day 26 of our India trip 2015 prayed, read 1 Corinthians 15 and had breakfast.

 

A few days ago I read Kerala’s disability policy and it’s great (on paper) disabled people here have the right to work and all public buildings have to be accessible only most of them are not and I have yet to see a differently-abled person working in the 26 days that I’ve been here…policies that are great on paper but useless in real-life are of no use to anyone. To the Chief Minister of Kerala Oommen Chandy: Please make sure that all pre-existing and new buildings in Kerala that have stairs also have lifts or ramps and also make sure that all differently-abled kids in Kerala go to school.
