Satish Chandra is an official in India who has worked with mobile courts and awareness camps for disabled people and currently held the position of State Disability Commissioner in Jharkhand.

Career

Satish Chandra became State Disability Commissioner on 11 September 2007, but the role came to an end in September 2012. There was an argument between officials in the state government when a proposal was made for Satish Chandra to be reappointed in 2013. It was then directed that a new selection procedure be carried out. However, newspaper articles mention Satish Chandra being referred to as the State Disability Commissioner in 2016 and 2020.

Events

In 2016, the National Institute of Empowerment of Persons with Multiple Disabilities invited Chandra to Chennai to deliver a special lecture.

In 2020, Tata Steel launched a two-day workshop focused on livelihood opportunities as part of its Sabal initiative. The programme was inaugurated by Chandra in his capacity as State Disability Commissioner.

Contributions

Mobile Courts Initiative: In 2012, The Telegraph mentioned that while working as State Disability Commissioner, Satish Chandra launched a model of mobile courts and awareness camps to help disabled people in Jharkhand. He gained national recognition for his efforts.

Awards and Recognition: Honored with the Dainik Jagran Award for Good Governance and the 2012 Human Rights Protection Award.

Controversy

In 2016, Chandra called for the recruitment of at least 15,000 specially trained teachers to meet the requirements of the Right to Education provisions for intellectually impaired students in Jharkhand.

In 2018, Chandra met Jharkhand governor Draupadi Murmu and discussed the organisation of mobile courts and awareness camps in remote areas for people with disabilities.
