Accessible India: Let’s make public buildings disabled friendly

News:

• As a part of Accessible India,  Centre is roping in big corporates and asking them to take up a school, hospital, park, mall or other public building in their city for this purpose.
• The initiative will begin with the identification of public places that are inaccessible to the differently abled and need minor structural changes, including ramps for wheelchairs or tactile strips and braille signage for the visually challenged.
• Even before the launch of the mobile app or the initiative, the disability division has started getting queries from the corporate sector.
