WATER CRISES

Dear All

Every one is facing the WATER CRISES either directly or indirectly.  

Water is the most precious natural resources and life cannot be imagined with it.

The sustainability of the development or the Food Security cannot be achieved with out Water.

Finally the quality of life of the people (QOL) will be very poor with vulnerabilities.  

Some of the water crises / challenges are natural and others are man made where the later is dominating the former. 

Some simple measures adapted as habit can do wonders in resolving many of the present day water crises.  

It only needs concern and commitment to continue the measures as a process so solutions can be sustained. 

In his direction, i am making initiatives and trying to reach the people with better strategies / interventions / policies  so that water can be made with better 3As (Availability, Accessibility & Affordability).

Looking forward to save the BLUE DIAMOND..... 

All the Best.

The need of the our is to have concern with commitment to make some of the measures as an habit so that things can be improved with better Availability, Accessibility & Affordability (3As).

Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that manifests itself during the first three years of life. The rate of autism in all regions of the world is high and it has a tremendous impact on children, their families, communities and societies.

Throughout its history, the United Nations family has promoted the rights and well-being of the disabled, including children with developmental disabilities. In 2008, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities entered into force, reaffirming the fundamental principle of universal human rights for all.

The United Nations General Assembly unanimously declared 2 April as World Autism Awareness Day (A/RES/62/139) to highlight the need to help improve the lives of children and adults who suffer from the disorder so they can lead full and meaningful lives.

NATIONAL SEMINAR ON EARLY INTERVENTION OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AT NIMH DURING 7-8TH MARCH 2013

Dear All

In continuation to the earlier postings made on the above cited subject, NIMH has organized two day National Seminar at Hyderabad during 7-8th March 2013.

I had presented the paper on "3As of Institutional Based Early Identification and Interventions - Opportunities with CBR".

The 3As which stands for Availability, Accessibility and Affordability of Information, Services, Supports and other needy play signification role in reaching the targeted groups with matching solutions. 

This model has given the scope to reach the larger group with need based, effective participation, sustainability, quality and cost effective solutions. The CBR Approach has been well appreciated and some have consulted to get this adopted at their respective location.

The combination of IBR (30%) and CBR (70%) with improved 3As helps to provide training & rehabilitation for mainstreaming, to prevent disabilities which leads for the Disability Free Community (DFC) and Barrier Free Environment (BFE).    

A Souvenir has been brought out with full papers representing all the categories of developmental disabilities.  

These two days has given the direction to move forward for Early Interventions to reach the larger group with better solutions. 

I will be posting more in this direction so that all can move forward for an effective early interventions of CWDDs..... 

Looking forward...

with thanks
