We pride ourselves on being very good at IT. However, many of our websites both Govt and Private do not work properly or are not kept updated. Pls Institute an audit system with exemplary action against those who fail to provide proper service.

Since there are limitations for the Govt. to involve directly in generating employment to the persons with disabilities, Govt can give successful corporates, the motivation to generate employment to the disabled. Successful corporates alone should be selected as there are a lot of crime happening and many agencies are exploiting the disabled to make personal gains or gains through trusts opened in the name of well being of disabled. And ministry of Social justice can also do needful in providing palliative care to the disabled and old and also day care facilities which can be done through approved agencies like the kudumbasree in Kerala, so that the family of the disabled are not stuck at home in taking care of the disabled or the old and can generate income for their sustinence. at present many households where the disabled as well as dependent old are there, their family cannot go out to work and earn their livelihood.
