The West Bengal government has asked all schools in the state to make arrangements for the benefit of students with disabilities studying in schools with other students.

Several new inclusions has been made in terms of language paper selection and seating arrangements to encourage children with disabilities to attend schools with other students.

These students will also be given certain exemptions in answering papers in science and geography subjects that usually require drawing. Instead the questions will be descriptive in nature.

“Nothing comes easy, you have to work for it” - My Take by Somjeet Singh, Captain, India Wheelchair Cricket Team

Hi, I'm Bhavna Sharma. An Inclusion Strategist with Newz Hook. Yes, I am a person with disability. But that doesn’t define who I am. I am a youth, a woman and also the 1st Miss Disability of India 2013. I wanted to achieve something in life and I have been working for the last 9 years. I have recently completed my MBA in Human Resources because I want to grow. I am like every other young person in India. I want a good education, a good job and I want to help my family financially. So you can see I am like everyone else, yet people see me differently.

Here is the Ask Bhavna column for you where I would like to talk to you about the law, society and people’s attitudes and how we can build inclusion in India together.

So, if you have a question about any issue related to disability, bring them out and I can try to answer them? It could be a question relating to a policy or of a personal nature. Well, this is your space to find the answers!
