Manoniya Mahoday,

Sub: National Council for Senior Citizens to be constituted.

As a Sr.Citizen, Paralyzed Disabled, I am very happy and thankful that you have announced to constitute a “National Council for Sr.Citizens” who will advise the Central & State Government on issues pertaining to Sr.Citizens betterment etc. headed by Minister of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India. A very good initiative no doubt keeping in view that practically there exist no purposeful rules for the betterment / useful to this category so far. Similar position exists for Aged Disabled & Disabled Persons who cannot move out side for whatsoever purpose. I have contacted concerned SJE department since 2008 but no fruitful result received. Possibly this happened due to non existence of any legal provision made for Old Aged Disabled Persons of the society.

Since PWDs and OADs have been neglected so far I would like to request you to kindly include the issues of Persons with Disability (PWD) & Old Aged Disabled (OAD) at the newly constituted “National Council for Sr. Citizens” so that problems can be sorted out simultaneously by same authority deals the issues i.e. SJE Ministry. Incidentally it is to mention that a large number of incidents, prayer on disability reasons, neglect to disabled, discrimination to PWD, Differential treatment to PWD, Insult to Disabled & entire PWD community etc referred by me, referred by Rastrapati Bhaban Portal are lying indisposed for years together with Sri. J.C.Sharma, E.A.-SJE (sharmajc.msje@nic.in ) and Sri. Lal Sanglur, SJE –Aging ( lal.sanglur@nic.in ) [Copies of such all letters are available with PMOs office]

Though uncalled for but in the interest of better utilization of the “National Council for Sr.Citizen” it is suggested that a revision be made at present Stake Holders and introduction of new faces be considered as some of the present Stake Holders do not function at all. Stake Holders list should contain contact telephone number and address for ready appreciation.

Thanking you, With deep regards.
