Hi Prashant
This is very useful. Thanks for sharing it.
I am placing a few suggestions from my side.You may suggest changes /
additions.
Lets all put our heads together.
1 The word close caption should be replaced with closed caption and
audio description
2 Education of disabled persons as a policy should be handled by HR
ministry and not MSJE.
3 All public buses should have functioning approaching stop
announcement system. All trains / metros / mono rail should have
approaching station announcement, in addition, announcing the
direction of the platform.
4 All public buses should have announcement of the bus route and its
destination. This will help visually disabled passengers waiting at the
bus stops.
5 Bus shelters should have seating facility benefiting senior citizens
and disabled passengers waiting for their bus.
6 All housing projects of more than 20 flats should have10% of their
flats sold to only disabled persons. Preferential floors and parking may
also be provided and such flats should be particularly disabled friendly
in design.Such flats should be charged on the floor rate where
staggering rates are charged for flats of similar sizes.
7 All currency both physical and digital shall be disabled friendly. All
physical Indian non disabled friendly currency shall be fully phased out
not later than 5 years.
8 All payment systems on every platform shall be fully
accessible.Particular efforts should be taken to facilitate payment
requirements of international disabled tourists.
9 All tourist places, monument sites should be made disabled friendly.
Incentives by means of soft loans may be provided to carry out suitable
changes to make sites and services accessible to disabled persons.
10 Sugamya Bharath should take up or ordinate with appropriate
authorities wherever disabled persons requests for paved road /
footpaths to the place of residence. Progress of the status of the
request should be regularly updated online.
11 The roads and footpaths must be made disabled friendly and all
payment towards construction / repairs for the same may be done to the
contractors on self declaration basis. Flash audit should be routinely
carried out to examine the veracity of the certification and stringent
penalties be levied on any deficiency of accessibility norms in addition
blacklisting vendors repeatedly breaching accessibility norms.
12 Disabled persons should be provided with preferential allotment of
parking including private apartments. Sugamya Bharath may be approached
by disabled persons for its implementation
13 All disability identity card should be subsumed by UDID card and UDID
card should be the only card for availing any facility for disabled
persons throughout the country.
14 The UDID system by means of secured API calls should be able to
authenticate the type of disability andits percentage
15 UDID cards should be provided to all disabled persons within 6
months. Special camps may be carried out for its role out. Business
process re engineering may be adopted for its smooth role out. Severe
penalties may be imposed including imprisonment faking disability.
16 Special courts concerning disability matters should be set up in
every state, for smaller states and UT jurisdiction may be extended to
more than 1 state ensuring that the entire country is covered.
17 Disabled persons should be provided with legal assistance by the
state to fight any offenses done to them.
18 All orders and penalties should be published at CCPD Portal.
19 all repeat penalties should be enhanced by at least 50% more than the
last penalty amount
20 A specially designed Accessibility badge may be given to products
offered on GEM platform. This will help buyers diferentiate for
accessible products. Besides these may be given higher ranking in
displaying similar prices
