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 Regards Harish On 14/06/2022 09:58, Tony Kurian wrote: > hello, > i am unable to access the file. i am getting the following error > message "can't reach this page". tried using a couple of browsers. > let me know if you all are facing the same issue. > TK > > On 13/06/2022, Prashant Naik <pran...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Government of India >> Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities Ministry of >> Social Justice and Empowerment >> ------ >> Public Notice Inviting Comments on the draft National Policy for >> Persons with Disabilities >> >> The existing National Policy for Persons with Disabilities was >> adopted in 2006.
