Please calm down. Things take time in India. What we are working on is progressive realisation. Just because things don't happen at your pace or at the desired pace does not mean that they are not happening. Some of us work very hard to realise some dreams and then we keep working at those dreams to make them reality. Its for others like you to point out the problems but do so positively rather than negatively. The Banks should have introduced one third talking ATMs long ago but they haven't done so, some banks put in special ATMs for the visually challenged and some pretended they had talking ATMs. These were not acceptable to us. What Harish tried at Antarchakshu and what has been installed at BPA Ahmedabad are the type that we want. If the west Bengal model is a correct one then we can say that accessible ATMs are becoming a reality. The XRCVC is keeping a count and checking the accessibility features of the ATMS which are claiming to be accessible. You will see many ATMs being launched this month which will have the correct features. Chenai will not be far behind and yes one day there will be an accessible ATM in India at your doorstep. I joined Accessindia exactly 10 years ago and at that time we had many dreams, many will agree with me that most of the dreams have become reality and we now dream of bigger things.

it's still far away as per chennai. I haven't seen even a single accessible ATM here. the rule has to be enforced for allotting certain per centage of accessible ATM's. And if they are not following, they have to be peenalised. ----- Original Message ----- From: "KanchanPamnani" <kanchanpamn...@gmail.com> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2012 6:43 PM Subject: Re: [AI] First Talking ATM in West Bengal. > The day is not too far away.
