Okay, thanks for letting me know. As far as the website is concerned, can you 
elaborate on what do you mean by it being partially accessible?

Hi Rahul,
I have not tried the application but I have tried the website and it is kind of 
usable. Try this in Google Chrome or Firefox.
In addition, their customer service is extremely helpful. Try calling them and 
placing your order. Ask them for a payment link.

 Hi everyone,

today, I was trying to order cake and bouquet for a family member‘s birthday on 
the Ferns and petal’s application on the iPhone. However, I had great 
difficulty in doing so and ultimately gave up on the task after 20 minutes. I 
was unable to enter the address of the location on my own because it would not 
let me proceed beyond entering the pin code independently. Further, on the home 
screen, many buttons were unlabelled which made it very difficult for me to 
select a cake and a bouquet. So I abandoned the task and then began taking the 
help of a sighted person. I have two questions in light of the above. First, 
have others tried to use this application and faced similar issues? I want to 
make sure that I am not the only one. Second, Have any efforts been made to 
reach out to the app developers till now? And are they receptive and willing to 
make changes? Accordingly I will decide whether to pursue this through the 
adversarial route or the collaborative route. Thank you.

[AI] Mission Accessibility Pro Bono Programme

2024-09-07 Thread Mission Accessibility

 “Hi There,

One of the core contributions that Mission Accessibility has been making 
through its work is providing high quality legal representation to persons with 
disabilities either free of cost or on a low cost basis. We have taken up such 
cases across sectors, including cases on civil liberties, educational access, 
employment issues, media and digital accessibility, amongst others. TO 
streamline its pro bono programme, Mission Accessibility will be taking up a 
quota of 3 new pro bono matters every month on disability rights. This will be 
a combination of two Constitutional Court matters [before relevant High Courts 
and the Supreme Court] and one tribunal matter [before Disability 
Commissions/Central Administrative Tribunal, etc.]. The selection of which pro 
bono matters to take will be guided by the following considerations:
1.Nature of the case;
2.Ability of the litigant to pay;

Subject: [AI] Issues in Submitting Assignments with IGNOU


Dear List Members,

I had completed B.A. from IGNOU and currently pursuing M.A. from the same 
University. Due to my 100% vision impairment, I had always been submitting 
typed copy of assignments with my signatures on each page of the assignment. As 
I am a late-life blind person, I can sign with reasonable comfort. Earlier, I 
never faced any issues with the assignment which were duly evaluated. However, 
two out of four assignments for M.A. first year were not evaluated even after 
commencement of second year. Multiple follow-ups with the University through 
email did not yield any result. When I filed RTI application, the University 
responded that I had been awarded 0 out of 100 marks. Subsequently, I filed RTI 
first appeal requesting scanned copies of the assignment sheets which were 
relied upon while affording 0 out of 100 marks. The University responded that I 
had been awarded 0 marks as I had submitted typed-copies of the assignment 
which are against University rules.



   In view of the foregoing, I request expert members of the group 
to advise me further course of action in pursuing the matter further. I believe 
that insistence on submitting hand-written assignments and not accepting typed 
assignments is against the spirit of reasonable accommodation enshrined in the 
RPWD Act, 2016.



   Any advise will be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
Harshit Lohia

[AI] Our newsletter for the quarter from April to June 2024

2024-08-02 Thread Mission Accessibility

*Mission Accessibility’s Quarterly Newsletter*

Dear All,

The second quarter of 2024 – of the period between April-June – for Mission 
Accessibility (“MA”) was a very busy, productive and fulfilling period. During 
this phase, we had a few proud moments to cherish and chalked out a blueprint 
to take our work to the next level.

You will recall that one of our Co-Founders had been appointed as an Amicus 
Curiae by the Delhi High Court in a case that raises the issue of how the 
general law of transfers applies to persons with disabilities. The Delhi High 
Court heard final arguments in the matter and judgment was reserved and 
delivered on 18th July.

We also obtained an important victory in a matter concerning access to 
copyrighted books for persons with disabilities – thanks to our legal 
intervention, the book’s publisher was compelled to make an accessible soft 
copy version of the book available on Amazon.

Further, both of our co-founders were empanelled in the pro-bono panel of Delhi 
High Court Legal Services Committee – this gives us an opportunity to help make 
the legal aid framework in India more disabled friendly from the inside and 
expand our footprint to assist legal aid beneficiaries beyond persons with 
disabilities.

Additionally, our erstwhile sensitization and capacity building vertical head 
Tanishk Goyal was selected for pursuing his post-graduation in Harvard Law 
School and our erstwhile grievance redressal head Mahoor Ghani was selected for 
the judicial services of Jammu and Kashmir. We at MA are extremely proud of 
their achievements, truly appreciate their contribution in shaping MA and wish 
them the best in life.

In parallel, our sensitization and capacity building work continues to remain 
strong, with new  collaborations being forged and existing ones being 
strengthened. In particular, our collaboration with the Rhodes Trust continues 
to grow and we’ve prepared a training course for the trust.

We are sharing below a thumbnail of the work we did during this period.

*Grievance Redressal & Strategic Intervention*

Below is a quick snapshot of the work done in our Grievance Redressal & 
Strategic Intervention vertical.

* The Chief Commissioner of Persons with Disabilities (CCPD) has issued a 
detailed order to foster financial inclusion of persons with disabilities. The 
CCPD has directed Radisson Blu Hotel to ensure that they use point of sale 
devices with physical keypads in all their hotels across the country. This is 
because touchscreen-based point of sale devices are not accessible to persons 
having blindness or low vision. Further, the RBI has been directed to issue 
guidelines to all payment system operators and payment system participants to 
ensure that all payment systems approved by them, including point of sale 
devices, are accessible. Lastly, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs has been 
asked to direct all hotel and restaurant associations to ensure their members 
use accessible point of sale devices. All the respondents will also need to 
submit an action taken report within 3 months.
* Two hearings took place in April and May in the matter concerning how the 
general law of transfer applies to persons with disabilities and judgment was 
reserved in the matter.
* We obtained an interim order in the case of Prof. Avichal Bhatnagar vs The 
CEO, Pralek Prakashan Pvt. Ltd, concerning access to copyrighted material for 
persons with disabilities. Following our intervention in the shape of a 
complaint to the CCPD, the publisher made available the kindle version of the 
book available in an accessible format. Further, the CCPD has in interim order, 
agreed to lay down guidelines on the broader structural issue regarding 
accessibility of reading material for persons with print disabilities.
* Our Co-Founders were empanelled in the pro bono panel of the Delhi High Court 
Legal Services Committee.
* We had filed an interim application before the Supreme Court in a set of 
matter concerning the regulation of stray animals. In our application, we 
demonstrated the manner in which stray dogs adversely impact the free movement 
and mobility of persons with disabilities. The Supreme Court disposed off the 
application by granting us the liberty to approach the jurisdictional High 
Court.

*Sensitization & Capacity Building*

We present to you the overview of the work that we undertook in our 
Sensitization & Capacity Building vertical.
* We conducted the accessibility audit of one of the most popular OTT platforms 
for their Android app and are in the process of auditing their IOS app as well.
* We provided feedback to a studio that provides audio description.
* Our co-founder Rahul Bajaj spoke at the Annual Courts and the Constitution 
Conference at Nalsar. He spoke in the panel on “Taking stock of the judiciary”, 
about the work he is involved in on making courts more accessible for persons 
with disabilities.
* We prepared a course for the Rho

We would like to specially thank the mailing list for their key role in this 
remarkable development. It was around September 2022 that we had sought 
feedback from the mailing list in respect of applications which were not 
accessible. And subsequently notices were sent to the service providers. After 
which there was some delay, but I think good things take time.  ☺️

Subject: Update: Suo-Motu Cognizance of inaccessible digital platforms by CCPD


Dear Access Indians,


We have some important news to report. As you are aware, one of mission 
accessibility's signature projects is to help make accessible a large list of 
inaccessible digital platforms that we first submitted to the CCPD in August 
2022.


We have constantly been following up with the CCPD office to ensure that their 
complaints are taken to their logical conclusion. We are happy to report that 
the CCPD has decided to conduct two hearings on 16th July, 2024:


a.) For the 68 digital platforms in the private sector which we had reported as 
being inaccessible as well as 6 further such platforms of whose inaccessibility 
the CCPD has taken suo-motu cognizance and

b.) with respect to around 20 inaccessible government digital platforms as well 
as suo-moto cognizance of the larger issue of making all government websites 
and apps disabled-friendly.


We think this is a significant step forward in advancing the rights of persons 
with disabilities in the digital realm. We will closely monitor the situation 
and not rest content until each of these platforms becomes substantially (if 
not fully accessible) for persons with disabilities. Copies of the two notices 
are attached.


Warmly,

Team Mission Accessibility

due to negligence at the exam centre and lack of proper systems available in

Dear All,

I'm writing to share a disturbing incident that happened to my visually 
impaired friend during the CSIR mains exam conducted by NTA in Delhi. Despite 
her thorough preparation, she faced significant obstacles due to technical 
issues and negligence at the examination center.

The computer-based test was scheduled from 2:00 p.m. to 4:40 p.m. However, the 
systems didn't function until 4:30 p.m., and even then, they failed to work 
reliably. My friend couldn't upload her required documents to be uploaded at 
the end of the exam due to the system was not designed in away where extra time 
is given for visually impaired person, and she was forcibly removed from the 
center at 7:30 p.m. with the help of police without being able to complete the 
exam.

This incident highlights the lack of accessibility and preparedness in our 
examination systems. I request your guidance on the steps my friend can take to 
address this issue.Your suggestions and support would be invaluable in helping 
my friend seek justice and ensuring that such incidents are prevented in the 
future.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Mission Accessibility a swanky office of its own now. Yesterday was our first 
day in the new space. What started off as a passion project is takinh a life of 
its own and scaling up in a manner we had not thought possible. We are grateful 
to all our partners and well-wishers who have helped us come this far. We are 
confident that this step will double our productivity and efficiency as a team. 
This office will also serve as the hub for Amar and Rahul’s conventional legal 
services in practice areas outside disability rights law.

We firmly believe that lawyers with disabilities should not be pigeonholed into 
just being disability rights experts.

Wanted to clarify a few things.
Audio description can be accessed by the first link which we have shared. Also, 
the audio description and sign language feed is available  for specific 
matches, which covers India’s matches and the semi-final and the final.
My bad, if that was not so evident from the message. Will share the links again 
whenever the feed is available so that it is easier to access.
Also, Shankar, we have relayd feedback earlier to them. About matches being 
covered in other languages. If you would appreciate, Change isslow and takes 
time. We should be at least grateful that for the first time this facility is 
being offered by a broadcaster.
And regarding the point of whether it is a different feed or club with the 
original commentary, it is a totally different feed. Get Outlook for

[AI] Adobe reader simply not reading PDF documents

2024-05-13 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi everyone,

For the last six months or so, I have found it almost impossible to read any 
PDF, even a small van, with Adobe reader. Adobe reader simply keep saying 
blank, blank, blank. Further, as a lawyer, I have to deal with files which 
consist of hundreds if not thousands of pages. A lot of this is made possible 
by the fact that the relevant documents within a PDF or bookmark. So I need to 
access the list of book marks in a PDF. Earlier, you could do this by pressing 
the F6 key. However, since the last 6 to 8 months, this feature has simply not 
been working. Am I doing something wrong or has Adobe reader‘s accessibility 
broken to such an extent that it has become impossible to use it?

[AI] VoiceOver skipping content with links

2024-05-13 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi everyone,

I am facing the following issue. When I open a document or an email which has 
links in it, and ask VoiceOver to read the content, it simply skips over the 
content which has links. Illustrative Lee, someone send me an email stating 
that we will be speaking at 11 AM tomorrow. VoiceOver will simply skip over the 
11 AM part. This results in me missing out on some content. Kindly let me know 
why this is happening and what the solution is. Thanks.

[AI] JAWS speaking during a VC call

2024-05-13 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi All,

I often have to attend hearings via VC on Zoom or WebEx. JAWS' voice
carries to the other participants in the meeting. I have used the
insert+space+v+b keystroke, with arrow keys. but that has not solved the
problem. Please guide. The court administration often mutes me during
hearings due to the noise that JAWS creates. I am unabl to refer to my
notes or consult any documents in the middle of a hearing because of this
issue.

opening adobe software first and then opening document through it may work some

Hello,

If I remember correctly, jaws OCR was available with version 18. Press 
application key on the file and arrow down to the option convenient OCR with 
jaws, and press entr on it. Allow a few seconds and jaws should start reading.

If it does not work, then you should use advance versions of adobe acrobat

Normally jaws reads any text pdf file. The OCR feature is required for scanned 
pdf files only.

[AI] Request for participants consuming content in Hindi for research study

2024-03-04 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi all, on behalf of Mission Accessibility and Whose Knowledge, we are  
organizing a conversation on 16th March in Delhi as part of a project on 
advancing language justice for persons with visual disabilities in South Asia. 
This project is being co-designed by “Whose Knowledge?” and a set of six 
independent researchers from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.

We are looking for women with visual disabilities who access hindi language 
content (primarily, and not English) and use digital technologies. Together, we 
hope to discuss and articulate issues and learnings for understanding how to 
create better and more accessible digital technologies and multilingual online 
spaces.
We are bearing the cost of attendance and providing an honorarium as well.  If 
anyone here knows of a woman/women with visual impairment who consume Hindi 
content online and otherwise, please let me know! It will be very helpful.

We can also accommodate out of Delhi participants and have the space to fund 
travel and stay for assistants.

[AI] Team Mission Accessibility is geared to work towards making monuments accessible for all!

2024-02-26 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear All,

How many of you like history and art? A visit to national monuments is not
only soaked in art and history but supremely informative and enriching. Do
you know that often persons with disabilities face barriers in access in
visiting these places of public interest?

Prime Minister Narendra Modi
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAABBhhiABVwqIoiMz90f7wLjjl8xvtPe3u3c> has
taken cognizance and expressed a keen interest in enhancing accessibility
of our national monuments for Persons with Reduced Mobility (PRM), Persons
with Disability (PwD), and Persons with Visual Impairment (PwVI).

The Quality Council of India(QCI)
<https://www.linkedin.com/company/quality-council-of-india-qci-/> will
evaluate the accessibility levels of ticketed and centrally protected
monuments with the help of a multi-steering committee and their technical
inputs. And we’re thrilled to share that our co-founder Amar Jain
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAL5IhIB3VmHdUmgqYU4JcX_iUvfqTVYj6E> has
been invited to be a part of this committee!

Team Mission Accessibility is geared to work towards making monuments

The aim is to sensitise the State Commissioners about the lived realities
of persons with disabilities to better equip them to ensure the effective
realisation of the rights of the disabled. This will also give us the
chance to discuss the nuances of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
Act 2016 and the associated rules to secure greater compliance.

*We’re also delighted to share that Former Chief Justice of India UU Lalit
will be the keynote speaker at this event. *
Mission Accessibility will also be hosting a series of experiential
activities, reflections from renowned persons with disabilities and
discussions around complex problems and corresponding legal solutions.

[AI] dog menace issue: next steps

2023-10-27 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi All,

I have studied the thread on the dog menace issue carefully and reflected
on the issue. Mission Accessibility will file a writ petition on this issue
in the Supreme Court. We are currently looking at the legal arguments and
pending petitions. On Sunday, I will be meeting Dr. S Muralidhar, Retired
Chief Justice of the Orissa High Court and a recently designated senior
advocate in the Supreme Court. I will request him to represent us in this
matter, and I will support him.

Before meeting him, I need to do my homework. My suggestion is that we make
a list of universities/other institutions where this is particularly a big
problem. we'll make each of them a respondent. we'll request the court to
direct them to ensure that the stray dogs in their campuses are relocated
to a suitable animal shelter, in a dignified manner. Does this make sense?

If so, can you share the names of institutions where you know this problem
exists, and share any particular incident if possible. I will brief him
accordingly. Thank you.

Warmly,

Rahul

Hi.
Can we file a suit on the ground of RPWD act 2016 which mandates on
barrier free physical infrastructure accessibility? Can few among you
record a 5- 15 second video for me to upload on the petition page?
https://chng.it/VMv5gJz24y
@mission accessibility. Is the above possible? Would the court direct
the government to build a shelter for this stray animals, and at the
same time protect our rights of physical accessibility? If both the
central and state government can come out with a relief fund which
would be 100% tax exempted for supporting the government to construct
such accommodation for these animals where even their safety and
survival could be taken care with the help of such donation from the
citizon.

will be strictly anonymous.

Based on the reviews from the community, we will formulate a final review
along with a suggestion slide. It will be posted on our official pages on
LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

Currently we are reviewing Netflix. Thereby, attaching the Google form for
the same. Looking forward to the active participation. Kindly fill the form
.

*About Us:*
Mission Accessibility, an NGO co-founded by two blind lawyers, Rahul Bajaj
and Amar Jain constructively engages with the developers of platforms that
are inaccessible to disabled users and empower such users to voice their
concerns in a productive and practically useful fashion. MA’s work has 3
components: Sensitisation, Capacity Building & Grievance Redressal.

Since our official founding in October 2022, we have spearheaded a large
number of impactful interventions. Illustratively, we have more than 100
ongoing complaints in the court of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with
Disabilities on diverse issues. We have also taken up a project called
project RPwD Generation, under which we're working on 10 distinct causes,
in the areas of accessibility, discrimination and strengthening the
institutional framework under the RPwD Act. We are also advising a large
number of authorities, such as the Department of Empowerment for Persons
with Disabilities, Government of India, Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy,
Delhi High Court, Accessibility Committee, Supreme Court of India and the
Rhodes Trust.

*About the Event:*
Over the past year, we have made substantial progress in all three
dimensions of our work. Our Annual Event serves as an opportunity to
celebrate the achievements of the disability rights community and honour
those who have supported our mission.

Our Patron in Chief, Justice A.K. Sikri, Former Judge, Supreme Court of
India, will be delivering the keynote address at the event. Notably, we
will be recognising the most accessible institutions in both public and
private sectors with awards for their outstanding contributions in the
field of accessibility.

Your presence at our event will add immense value to it, and boost our
motivation to continue on our journey towards ensuring that Persons with
Disabilities are able to lead dignified and full lives. We request you to
fill the attached google form to RSVP (https://forms.gle/aVTsUXhVjHBzsVH86).

Please let us know if you require any additional information or have any
specific requests. We hope to see you at IIC on 8th October 2023. Since
this is our first formal event, we sincerely encourage all persons in and
around Delhi to kindly attend the event physically.

We look forward to your company!

Warm Regards

[AI] Urgent Call for Support: Raising Awareness in the Seema Lal order compliance

2023-09-18 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you well. Today, we are reaching out to you with
an urgent matter that requires your support and attention. A recent PIL
titled 'Seema Girija Lal vs Union of India & ors.' has brought to light the
alarming state of affairs regarding the implementation of the Right to
Persons With Disabilities Act, 2016, in our country.

To provide a brief overview of the situation, the Supreme Court has set a
deadline of 30th September 2023 for state governments to undertake various
compliances as mandated by this crucial legislation. Unfortunately, the
status of implementation has been far from satisfactory. Many state
governments are yet to fulfil their obligations under the Act, leaving
countless individuals with disabilities without the protection and support
they are entitled to.

Here are some key points:

·Several states have not notified the rules as required by Section 101
of the RPwD Act.

·State advisory boards, as per Section 66 of the Act, remain
unconstituted in some regions.

·District Level Committees, a crucial part of the Act (Section 72), are
missing in certain areas.

·Special Courts under Section 84 have not been established in several
states.

·Public Prosecutors, a necessity under Section 85, are yet to be
appointed in multiple states.

·Nodal Officers in District Education Offices (Sections 16, 17, and 31)
are still pending in some regions.

·Assessment boards for Disability Certificates (Chapter 7) are not in
place in one state.

·Assessment boards for high support needs (Chapter 5A) are missing in
numerous states.

·State funds, as per Section 88 of the RPWD Act, remain unconstituted
in some areas.

·Several states have not appointed the Authority for Registration of
Institutions Working in the Disability Sector as per Section 49.

·Designated Authorities to provide limited guardianship (Section 14)
are still pending in some states.

·Committees for research on disability, mandated by Section 6 (2) (ii),
are yet to be constituted in numerous regions.

We are deeply concerned about this situation, which directly affects the
lives of millions of people with disabilities across India. This is a
critical moment, and we need your support to raise awareness and pressure
the respective state governments to take immediate action.

We kindly request your assistance in spreading awareness by reposting our
recent Twitter thread (linked below) regarding this issue. Your voice and
reach can make a significant difference in bringing attention to this
critical matter and urging those in authority to act swiftly to implement
the RPwD Act.


https://twitter.com/MissionAccess_/status/1703274663135289758?t=YyeMtQUM4YdOQT-z4Yk3yw&s=19



Let us come together as a community to ensure that the rights and dignity
of persons with disabilities are upheld. By collectively advocating for
change, we can create a more inclusive and equitable India for all.


Thank you for your support and solidarity.


Sincerely,

Mission Accessibility

[AI] Reservation in education: data to show skewed implementation

2023-09-13 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi all,

 in a pending Delhi High Court matter [Jahanvi Nagpal v. UoI and others],,
I am making the argument that, since s. 32 of the RPwD A [the provision on
reservation in education] does not provide a disability-based segregation
of how the 5% reserved seats are to be allocated, we have a situation where
a large majority of such seats are going to students with locomotor
disabilities, to the exclusion of other disabilities recognized in the RPwD
Act. In the last hearing, the court had asked me to provide the empirical
data for this assertion. Can someone share any source where such data is
documented? The RTI responses that I have gotten have been deeply
unsatisfactory, with authorities simply moving the application to another
office or giving irrelevant responses. The next date is 19th September
[next Tuesday], and I would like to file the affidavit by Friday [15th].

Rahul

Subject: [AI] Need contact number of Subash Vashist or any other advocate who 
is well-versed in the RPWD Act

Dear friends, good evening to all of you. I am Srinivas Karnati from Telangana 
State.

For the past 20 years, our state government (United AP and present TS) has 
implemented a special provision for teachers with disabilities, specifically 
those with 70% disability or more, during the teacher transfer process. These 
teachers receive first preference in the counseling process.

Currently, a teacher with a 40% disability has approached the High Court of 
Telangana, requesting that authorities extend this preference to all teachers 
with disabilities falling within the range of 40-70% also.

I am interested in discussing this matter with Subash Chandra Vasisht or any 
other legal advocate who is well-versed in the RPWD Act. Could someone please 
share their contact numbers?

[AI] Accessbility Review Series

2023-08-28 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi everyone,

Mission Accessibility is initiating a social media campaign called
"Accessibility Review Series" as a step towards dismantling barriers in the
digital space and improving inclusivity for PwDs.

Through the series, we will be circulating a Google form with Accessibility
regarding issues that PwDs face while using Jio Cinema App. The responses
will be strictly anonymous.

Based on the reviews from the community, we will formulate a final review
along with a suggestion slide. It will be posted on our official pages on
LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

We would urge the community to kindly repost and share through their social
media handles to garner the attention of the company.

Let's contribute to "Accessibility for All".

Re: [AI] MA Update | Progress on the CCPD Notices to Inaccessible Service Providers

2023-08-28 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear All,

To add on to what Rahul mentioned, we believe that in addition to the
complaints that Mission Accessibility is already pursuing, it would be
impactful if you yourselves also raise the issues with the concerned
service providers which we have been unable to cover. In order to aid you
with this exercise, we have created a five step process for getting the
grievances resolved from service providers. There are drafts for each stage
in the process.

PFA the google drive link for the templates of the said five-step process.
It has drafts for each step as also a process flow document, which explains
the steps and in what time each draft has to be sent. (
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tqFsu_CGfkAGWWsMhgDBYZZtByPnKXAL?usp=sharing).
For your convenience, I am attaching the template of the first step to this
email. You could directly pick up this draft and after inserting your
personal details, send it to the service provider concerned. If they do not
respond within seven days, you could follow the next four steps as per the
five step process in the Google Drive folder.

Please do reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.

Warm Regards,
Tanishk Goyal

In terms of other responses, a couple of points. First, as regards the new 
suggestions that have come in, such as Broker one et cetera, my colleague 
colleague Tanishk, will shortly share with you the template that you can use to 
reach out to the service providers. At present, Mission Accessibility is 
pursuing complaints against more than 100 service providers that are in 
accessible. And therefore it is not in a position to take up any more of such 
matters on a pro bono basis. But you can use that template to send out notices 
and even file CCPD complaints on your own. Second, with respect to the point 
that Pinkesh made, our strategy is to wait for the six-month period that the 
CCPD has given to each service provider to play out. After that, we will spend 
no more than three months  in trying to work with a CCPD to secure compliance 
of the directions issued by the CCPD. And if, on the expiry of this nine 
months, there are service providers which do not comply with the mandate as set 
for them by the CCPD, of which there will be many, we will combine all of them 
and approach the Supreme Court with a consolidated writ petition. That is the 
plan of action that we have in mind.  Rahul

Dear All,

We want to provide you with an update on the progress made over the CCPD 
notices sent to over 70 inaccessible platforms based on the list submitted by 
MA. Over the past two months, we have received responses from approximately 18 
service providers. These responses include government entities like the 
Ministry of Law and Justice, RBI, SEBI, and the National Health Authority 
(NHA), as well as private entities such as Reliance Industries, Sodexo, 
Network18, Zee Entertainment, and Flo Health UK, among others.

Among these 18 responses, entities like RBI, NHA, and the Indian Navy have 
asserted the presence of assistive features on their platforms. However, upon 
our inspection, we identified some lingering issues on their websites, 
prompting us to request the CCPD to issue orders for rectifying these 
persistent problems on their digital interfaces. Further, companies like 
Reliance Retail, Sedexo, and Sinhal Udyog have submitted their Equal 
Opportunity Policies and have committed to taking steps to ensure that their 
websites and applications become accessible.

We are currently in the process of filing rejoinders to each of the responses 
received from these service providers. Additionally, we are sending out 
reminders to the remaining service providers, urging them to submit their 
replies. If they fail to do so, we will be initiating legal actions against 
such platforms.

Thank you.

Dear avichal,, thanks for raising this extremely important issue. Subject to 
doing a conflict check in terms of our existing obligations, Mission 
Accessibility would be very happy to take up this cause for you in the court of 
the chief commissioner for persons with disabilities. I would be happy to 
appear on your behalf. I am passing this email on to my colleague Mahoor, who 
leads our grievance redressal and strategic intervention work, for her to 
obtain detailed specifications from you on who the publisher is and whether 
there is anything in writing that we can annexed with the complaint. And also 
the logistics and scope of work. Thanks very much.

I think, you should raise this at CCPD. Until and unless these matters
are silent, there would be no update on this issue by the government.
Secondly since the demand for higher, and doctoral studies are very
poor amongst blind, do not expect these NGO's to offer any help to you
in this regards. This is your own battle, and you have to fight on
your own. Others would just comment, and give you some advise. I wish
that there would be a law under RPWD act which would mandate all at
least Indian publisher to make the books available in multiple
formats. Just as it is available in developed countries.

2023-07-17 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear all,

Mission Accessibility is initiating a social media campaign called
"Accessibility Review Series" as a step towards dismantling barriers in the
digital space and improving inclusivity for PwDs.

Through the series, we will be circulating a Google form with Accessibility
regarding issues that PwDs face while using a particular app. The responses
will be strictly anonymous.

Based on the reviews from the community, we will formulate a final review
along with a suggestion slide. It will be posted on our official pages on
LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram.

We would urge the community to kindly repost and share through their social
media handles to garner the attention of the company.

Please spare a little of your valuable time and fill the attached form.

Join us in the 2nd part of the conversation, where Rahul and Husain talk to 
Judge Ronald M. Gould, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th 
Circuit. Judge Gould is affected by multiple sclerosis. As his disability has 
progressed over the years, so has his resilience and determination to not let 
his disability adversely affect his productivity and performance. In this 
conversation, Judge Gould talks to us about his journey to the bench, the 
strategies he has adopted to counteract the effects of his disability and his 
vision for a more disabled friendly justice system.

Kanchan Ma'am, thank you for starting this conversation. I think Minar's
inputs are very helpful but we'll have to break it down for the court. Make
it really easy for them to understand the key issues and their real-world
impact. Can we explain some of these issues in simple English?

[AI] Need examples of inaccessible public sector and private sector spaces in Delhi

2023-04-22 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi

In the coming period, I’d like to take up strategic litigation on disability 
rights causes with high impact potential, in the Delhi High Court and the 
Supreme Court . For this purpose , I’d like you to help me  identify particular 
places in Delhi that are inaccessible and build my cases on that basis.
Please share examples of inaccessible spaces in the following categories, with 
details as to the barriers that exist:

1. Inaccessible government museums, and ongoing government-run urban 
development projects in Delhi where the principle of universal design is not 
being complied with.

2. Private entities that are inaccessible to disabled people, such as four- and 
five-star hotels, gyms, and shopping malls.

Your inputs will help us in securing greater disability justice.

Thanks

Rahul

Re: [AI] Mission Accessibility WhatsApp Group

2023-04-21 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear Mohib,

Good morning. Many thanks for taking time out to share your feedback with us.

First, yes, even as we work with individual apps or litigate against them, we 
are taking steps to pursue the solution of digital accessibility at scale. The 
Ccpd has issued notices to 74 service providers at our behest all of whom have 
been asked to make their offerings accessible within three months and to submit 
a status report within six months. This includes banking and fin tech apps.

Second, as for captchas,4 we have submitted a list of 25 odd government 
websites that have inaccessible captchas to the Ccpd office and to the 
secretary, DEPWD.  They have assured us of action in this regard. Just day 
before yesterday, I had a chat with the legal consultant in the Ccpd office 
about next steps on this project. I am committed to taking it to its logical 
conclusion.

Third, as for the WhatsApp group, it now has 266 members. It is aimed at being  
a platform for people to know about our work. If we open it up to people 24 
seven, it will be flooded with messages. And it will be very difficult for us 
to go through people‘s feedback. Instead, we have left open the possibility of 
people sharing their views with us in four main ways.

First, by writing an email to us on Mission Accessibility at gmail.com. Second, 
by messaging any of us privately on WhatsApp. We are very transparent about 
sharing our phone numbers.  Even if it may sometimes causes some inconvenience. 
Third, we will keep the group open for certain designated time slots on 
weekends. We are figuring out the time currently. And forth, through threads 
like this one, we constantly get your feedback and try to improve our processes.

However, please do understand that change of this kind does not happen 
overnight.  And simply blaming us for the slow pace of progress may not always 
be right. Several variables are beyond our control. The kind of work that we 
are trying to do is at the cutting edge of accessibility in India and globally. 
Service providers have several limitations that they point to. Government 
officials have hundred other things to address and therefore one has to 
constantly follow up with them to achieve the slightest progress. And our court 
system is flooded with litigation, making it difficult to get a proper hearing. 
 None of these are meant to be stated as excuses, but you must understand a 
broader context before accusing us of not doing enough.

Rahul

The group should be left open for comments of the members under the
moderation of admins. Simply reserving this whatsapp group as a
dropbox for just forwarding the updates and your own ideas will be
just killing the purpose of such group. Furthermore In stead of taking
small apps in loop, you should take the mission to make the banking
websites accessible and also a genuin attempt should be made to get
the visual captcha removed from most of the websites which has become
cumbursom challange specially in field of financial indipendence.

Re: [AI] PIB Release: 3-day workshop on Web Accessibility organized by the Rehabilitation Council of India from 21.03.2023 to 23.03.2023.

2023-04-10 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi all,

I wanted to place on record the fact that the workshop was held in a tripartite 
manner, between rehabilitation Council of India, Mission Accessibility and 
xrcvc. While mission Accessibility handled the first two days of the workshop, 
XRCVC handled the third day.

The role that has been played by this workshop in making digital offerings by 
the government more accessible, including in the realm of social media, is 
instrumental. For example, now they are using image descriptions with all their 
images on Twitter. We are very grateful to xrcvc for working with us in this 
manner.

Let me also personally place on record my appreciation for  Dr Sam‘s generous 
guidance and mentorship to us as a young organisation finding our feet in the 
world of Accessibility. We look forward to collaborating him and with xrcvc in 
the future.

Rahul

Hi Everyone,
I have been talking a lot with my friends in various spaces; about the 
inaccessibility of mobile apps, and the wonderful work Mission  Accessibility 
has been doing on that front, to bring about change. Friends,  who are either 
employed with some ofthe companies we've been trying to reach, or some where 
they think they may be able to facilitate contact, have offered to try and help 
reach relevant persons, and weigh in on them about the issue.
For that, one of my friends, has created a simple Google form to be able to 
understand which companies to get to, in order of priority, to get going. I 
request everyone to please answer this simple survey, so we can have another 
avenue to get to those who won't listen to us easily enough.

[AI] Important updates from Mission Accessibility

2023-03-26 Thread Mission Accessibility

Following are the 4 significant updates from MA's side:

1. DEPwD and Rehabilitation Council of India in coordination with MA
organised a 3-day workshop on web accessibility from 21 March with the aim
to equip web designers of government know-how  of disability related issues
and there were a range of speakers including Rahul Bajaj, Sh. Dhananjay
Bhole, Srinivasu Chakravarthula and Shri. Dipendra Manocha. (Link:
https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1910198)

2. On 21 March Mission Accessibility began its collaboration with Rhodes
trust for making their

online offerings more disable friendly. We delivered a workshop on why
accessibility matters among other relevant issues. It was well attended by
78 members of Rhodes trust.

3. Chief Comm for PwD began sending Notice to around 70 inaccessible
platforms for which MA submitted a list on September 19. It is an
achievement gained after a persistent work of over 6 months on our part.
The Commissioner has given 6 months to the entities to make their platforms
accessible and submit status report.

4. On 23 March, MA had organised a workshop for all research fellows at
Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy for making Vidhi’s output accessible. We are
working with 3 teams on a pilot basis and the workshop was well attendant.

[AI] Digital Accessibility Concerns in Delhi

2023-03-13 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear Members,


I hope this mail finds you well!

As you all know, Mission Accessibility constructively engages with the
developers of platforms that are inaccessible to disabled users and
empowers such users to voice their concerns in a productive and practically
useful fashion.

To further our objective of making these spaces accessible, we had a
discussion with the Delhi PwD Commissioner and he was very receptive to the
concerns raised.

Hence, we take this opportunity to route the digital accessibility concerns
of people in Delhi through Mission Accessibility to redress them as soon as
possible. We would be grateful to have your contribution to this by sharing
your concerns related to digital accessibility. For example, if people are
facing difficulty in accessing ATMs, bank services or anything else related
to digital accessibility, they can get in touch with MA and MA will help
them to draft appropriate representations to the PwD Commissioner. All
accessibility concerns that are ICT-related can be relayed to us. Even if
the concerns are otherwise related to any disability rights issue in Delhi,
they can be shared with us so that Mission Accessibility can pass the same
to those who can take the issue up with the State Commissioner.

Given that the Commissioner is receptive and proactive, let us make the
most of this opportunity and make sure that our rights are fully realised.
Hence, we hope the members of Access India would contribute to the same.


Please fill in the google form (link given below) to raise your grievances.
Please fill out separate forms to raise concerns about multiple
applications or platforms.

[AI] Meeting on insurance and government health schemes for the disabled on 15th March: request for inputs

2023-03-12 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi all,

In my role as a consultant on disability rights for the Vidhi Centre for legal 
policy, I have been invited by the Department of empowerment for persons with 
disabilities for a meeting on 15th March. I would like your inputs for that 
meeting. Two sets of broad issues will be discussed.

First, strengthening the CGhs, adip and aLimco schemes and removing any 
discrepancies amongst them so as to ensure harmonisation and uniformity.

Second, addressing the challenges faced by the disabled in accessing insurance 
policies.

Please share your inputs on these above two aspects, ideally in the form of 
problems followed by solutions. Thank you.

Rahul

All

To take the thought process, forward, The nomination to Rajya Sabha for 
Anglo-Indian should be replaced with Disabled persons asAnglo-Indian persons is 
really not relevant presently. The change will not have any negative 
repercussions on any political parties. All that is required is a nudge.

Hi Rahul,
I think, Dr. Tharoor can be requested to bring a private member bill
on reserving certain seats for the disabled in Lok Sabha, and securing
some representation in nominations to the Rajya Sabha.

also it is my opinion that we should focus on blind particular not on

started by blind individuals, groups or NGOs, but, the benifit has gone
to other disability in majority.

I too think that audio description has little importance as the
statements and not visual posture of the legislators are of importance.

Though parliament website is mostly accessible but scanned copies of
statements in the parliament library sometimes create problem.

When I open the link “papers laid”, somehow Jaws gets silent as I go
in the table where list of papers are given.

Not discovered much though.

I don’t think that audio description will be much help in the
proceedings of parliament as it is already about debates, speeches,
and auditory things. They emphasis should be much more on digital and
physical accessibility. We should also push about
representation/nomination of. Disable members in the legislative houses.

Hi all,

Good morning. After much effort, I have managed to secure a

subject in the Indian express. In the meeting, I would like to
discuss with him concrete pathways for making Parliament and
its proceedings more disabled friendly. I would like to invite
your suggestions on what issues I should discuss with him.
This is what I have in mind at present:

First,  Ensuring that proceedings in Parliament or accompanied
by sign language interpretation and audio description. At
least the most important ones to begin with.

Second, setting up a committee that is tasked with addressing
all Accessibility related needs in Parliament, as has been
done by the Supreme Court recently.

Third, conducting an audit of the physical infrastructure and
website of the Parliament.

Let me know if you have any other inputs.

Hello AccessIndia family,

We hope you are doing well. We would like to use this thread to obtain your
ongoing inputs on the following two issues:

*First,* is there any entertainment or other media content which is
currently inaccessible (non-audio described). Could you also attach the
name of the service provider i.e., the producer and the viewing platform?

*Second,* could you also provide us feedback on any audio description that
you have accessed and provide us a detailed description of whether it needs
any modification?

Logically, Film certification should be given only when accessibility 
consideration is also fulfilled. If it does not happen that we should make it 
happen.

[AI] Invitation for Submissions | 'Accessibility Review' Series

2023-01-12 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi,

I, Rahul Bajaj, am writing this email to you in relation to the work done
by an organisation co-founded by me named *Mission Accessibility*. The core
aim of this organisation is to progressively dismantle the barriers faced
by persons with disabilities in accessing apps and websites in India.

In our journey so far, we have worked with reputable brands like Hotstar
and Urban Company, in a bid to make the digital platforms of these
companies more accessible. In essence, we seek to engage with the
developers of such inaccessible platforms in a constructive fashion, to
ensure a fruitful dialogue around making their features more accessible.

No such journey can be complete without support from within the segment of
people that it envisions to help. To gather a better understanding of what
needs to be pushed for when engaging with the developer of any platform, it
would be of tremendous aid to have PwDs give a human face to the problem of
inaccessibility. In furtherance of such belief, we have decided to launch a
series titled ‘Accessibility Review’ through our social media platforms,
which enjoy a rapidly expanding following.

I write this mail to you, inviting you to be a part of this series! What I
request of you is to share your experience of using any digital platform
across India that you might have found to be inaccessible. Our focus is to
highlight the gaps, while also encouraging the positive aspects of the
digital platform in terms of accessibility, if any.

Submissions to this series can be made to missionaccessibil...@gmail.com with
the subject line ‘Submission for Accessibility Review’. In your email,
please provide:

1) Your name, and a short line about your experience with disability. This
is discretionary, but will only help us better portray your submission on
our social media platforms. Due credit for your review will be provided in
our posts.


2) The name of the digital platform reviewed by you. You may also choose to
review apps of various newspapers, governmental authorities, etc.


3) The gaps felt by you in accessing the said platform. Please provide as
much detail as possible about the exact segments of the platform that were
felt to be inaccessible.

4) Praiseworthy accessibility features of the said platform, if any.


5) Suggestions to improve accessibility of the said platform, if you may
have any. Here, you may also mention a digital platform of your choice that
you find the most accessible, that can be used as a benchmark by other
platforms of a similar kind.


We, at Mission Accessibility, sincerely look forward to your submissions!

[AI] Using air fryer nobs

2023-01-08 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi all,

I’m thinking of buying an air fryer. However one concern that I have is this: 
since it is not a talking device, I’m not sure how I will be able to use the 
knobs to set the right time and temperature for cooking anything. I’d doubt 
that I will be able to do it merely by making a rough estimation as to whether 
I have set the right details. In the absence of anyone cited around me to check 
what I have chosen, how can I make this work? Or should I try to get it checked 
by a sighted person after I have enter the details, just to be sure?

Rahul

[AI] Mission Accessibility: year-end review

2022-12-31 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear All,



2022 was our first year of operation. It was in December, 2021 that we had
put out a call for volunteers to the student body at the National Law
School, Bangalore. In this year, we began putting our conviction that every
disabled person should have equal access to the digital marketplace to
work. We:

·   Secured the first of its kind judgment in India, holding that
private service providers are duty-bound to make their digital platforms
disabled friendly.

·   Got registered as a Section 8 company and received our first
significant financial donation.

·   Made meaningful progress in prompting platforms providing vital
public services to work towards becoming disabled friendly – platforms
which had displayed years of inertia and resistance.

·   Gave talks at universities ranging from the University of Oxford to
NUJS, Calcutta;

·   Secured our first paid retainership, with a well known delivery app
in India.



We grappled with profoundly challenging questions about our financial
sustainability, avoiding any conflicts of interest and defining our scope
of operation. We have only begun scratching the surface of the problem of
digital inaccessibility and know that we have a long road ahead. Below is a
detailed overview of our work in 2022. If our work appeals to you and if
you agree with us that even one day of inaccessibility is one day too many,
please consider making a donation. We need your support to be able to
continue doing this vitally important work. The details of our bank account
are at the foot of this email.



*As you are aware, our work consists of 3 strands, what we like to call a
3-legged stool: sensitization, grievance redressal and capacity building.*



*Sensitization:*

*a. **Public-facing events:*



· *I spoke at the Rhodes Tech and Society Forum in London, where I
shared the stage with Sarah Herrlinger, Apple’s Global Head of
Accessibility.*

·  *Amar, Turab and I spoke at the Campus Law Centre, University of
Delhi.*

· *I spoke at NUJS, Calcutta on “Digital Accessibility as a Right for
the Disabled”.*

· *I held an infosession on Mission Accessibility at Rhodes House,
University of Oxford and also delivered a talk on the initiative at the
Faculty of Law, University of Oxford.*

·  *Amar, Turab and I conducted a session at Gargi College, University
of Delhi.*



*b.   **Aimed at people with disabilities:*



· *Amar and I spoke at the National Disability Dialogue, organized by
NCPEDP.*

· *Amar gave a talk at the DAISY Forum of India.*

· *Amar gave an interview to Radio Udaan, a radio station for the blind
in India: *RADIOUDAAN BADALTA DAUR WITH MR. AMAR JAIN ON MISSION
ACCESSIBILITY - YouTube <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAp-sZKzXPQ>.

· *Amar, Turab and I conducted an open house session with Eyeway, to
respond to questions from the blind and visually impaired about the
challenges faced by them in accessing apps and websites: *
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSIrx70Enhs*.*

· *Turab and I spoke at a conference organized by I-Stem, an
organization that develops digital accessibility solutions for the
disabled.*



*Grievance Redressal*

· We obtained a victory against Practo Technologies, to make their
health consultancy app more disabled friendly: Practo asked to make its

Good morning. I would be happy to take this up legally on behalf of all those 
who are keen to serve as complainants. We can either approach the CCPD or the 
banking ombudsman. This does not come within the realm of digital 
Accessibility, so I will take it up in my individual capacity. Please write to

Generally they dont reveal any specific reason, and simply communicate
, due to our internal policy we can not offer you the credit card at
this moment. But behind this internal policy there may be several
reasons to be comprehended by the applicant himself!
For instance, this thumb impression might be one of the reasons, and
another reason could be low credit or cibil score.
In my case I got two rejection from axis bank for Google ACE credit
card due to internal policy, when i enquired about it, they informed
me since i have already 3 cards of Axis Bank, no further card can be
issued to you. If they will reveal this reason to me, defenetly i
would have closed one of the three cards i am having currently before
applying this google ACE card which is more beneficial.
By the way, i am partially and put my signature in all communications
and tranzactions, and i have more than 12 credit cards of different 5
banks. No bank raised any issue regarding my visual impairment despite
knowing i am low vision person at th etime of varrification or kyc.

[AI] Vpn access on the iphone

2022-12-16 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi All,

In the context of accessing the FIFA World Cup, someone had mentioned recently 
that one can use a VPN provider to be able to access foreign sports radio 
stations. I wanted to know how I can exactly do so on the iPhone.  I have 
installed a Turbo VPN app. I tried to access, on the BBC Sounds app, for 
example, a radio station called BBC radio Oxford. I got a message saying that 
it does not Have access to that. What do I need to do with the VPN app to be 
able to get through that restriction? Also, what other foreign content are you 
able to access through VPN apps? Thank you.

Hi Rahul,
Today I had logged in to MMT's portal on my Windows 10 laptop. I was
updating my personal profile. Under it there was an option to add
travellers for faster bookings. While adding a family member as a
frequent traveller under my profile I was able to add details like
name, mobile number, email, etc but couldn't add mandatory date of
birth. I couldn't figure out whether date has to be typed or selected
from calendar despite scrolling the entire page and using JAWS cursor.
Due to this pitfall, traveller details couldn't be saved.
Hope to receive resolution to this issue.

[AI] Inaccessible entertainment content

2022-11-28 Thread Mission Accessibility

Dear members of access  India,

Good evening. One of the things that I am working on right now at the Vidhi 
Centre for Legal Policy is advocating for media content to become more 
accessible. One way in which I would like to do this is to identify 
entertainment content that does not have audio description and then to press 
the appropriate levers to try and remedy this. I am on good terms with people 
in leadership positions at Netflix and hot star. Together, those two streaming 
platforms provide a sizable chunk of entertainment  content in India. Getting 
through to someone at Amazon prime should not be very hard either.

In addition, I would also like to reach out to production houses in individual 
cases where some entertainment content is not audio described. My conversations 
on media accessibility till now reveal that one critical element to ensuring 
greater audio description is establishing  the demand for this service.  And 
that is where I would like your assistance. We will have to identify individual 
pieces of content, such as a movie or TV show, that does not have audio 
description and then make a representation for it to become accessible. If 
needed, this may have to be supported with open letters, petitions on 
change.org, social media campaigns etc. So please use this thread to share any 
content that you come across that does not have audio description, along with 
the platform  where you saw it and the name of the production house. Thanks 
very much.

Warmly,
Rahul

[AI] Remarks to senior judges

2022-11-25 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi all,

On Sunday morning, as part of a Constitution Day conference being held at the 
Supreme Court, I will be speaking on creating a disabled friendly judiciary. 
All Supreme Court judges and hc chief justices, along with other relevant 
stakeholders, will be in attendance. I plan on covering the following points. 
Let me know if you would like me to add anything. First, that all courts should 
frame an equal opportunity policy. Second, that they should amend the rules of 
practice and procedure to facilitate the filing of accessible court documents, 
especially, to begin with, in cases involving citizens with disabilities. 
Third,  that they should appoint a grievance redressal officer for 
discrimination against the disabled who are part of their staff or interns. 
Fourth, that they should designate specific individuals who can attend to the 
needs of persons with disabilities in their interface with the court system. 
Fifth, that they should  appoint accessibility committees to oversee all of 
this work.  Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Rahul

Re: [AI] Soliciting ideasfor AccessIndia convention 2023

2022-11-14 Thread Mission Accessibility

Harish sir, good evening. Rahul decide, from Mission Accessibility. Mission 
accessibility would love to collaborate with access India on the convention. If 
you are open to the idea, we could also cohost the convention. This will be a 
great opportunity for us to showcase our work and raise our profile. If that 
idea is not palatable, we can nonetheless lead a discussion or two in the 
convention. Let us know.

Subject: [AI] accessibility has been comprimised on i mobile app on android.

Friends, I am the frequent user of I mobile app on android for my banking needs 
and recently what I have observed is the accessibility has been compromised on 
I mobile app on android.

Earlier I was able to perform few basic tasks like sending and receiving the 
transactions, applying for the loans and so on.

But after updating the app version 15.5 I really cannot perform the 
above-mentioned tasks.

the pay with credit card button is still does not accessible for the screen 
reader in the credit card section.

Also, couple of months back, the mission accessibility team was took the 
initiative to make app accessible and could not here the updates so far

for inputs

Dear all,

On October 11, 2022, I visited the HDFC ATM in Shivalekh and found it 
inaccessible as it did not have the ‘talking’ feature. The Reserve Bank of 
India has time and again directed all banks to ensure that all services, 
including ATM facility are made available to persons with disabilities without 
any discrimination. However, most banks have failed to meet this obligation and 
continue operations of non-voice-enabled ATMs without upgrading them so as to 
include the talking feature, in blatant disregard of the various policy 
directives.

In light of the said prevailing state of affairs, Mission Accessibility and 
Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy are collaborating to design a policy brief to 
ensure that all ATMs across NCT of Delhi are made talking ATMs.

In this regard, I reach out to those of you who have experienced similar or any 
other form of inaccessibility and/ or discrimination on account of ATMs not 
being voice enabled to please share your experience(s) with us. This would help 
us in highlighting the issue before the appropriate authorities via the correct 
channels so as to secure swift action and redressal.

In particular, I will reach out to HDFC Bank and Union Bank of India, in the 
first instance. Please share any experiences of visiting any of their ATMs in 
Delhi/NCT region which can be included in the letter. Please share when you 
visited the ATM, where the ATM was, and how you managed to withdraw money. 
Also, if you are an HDFC customer, please share if you are comfortable with 
your name being as a signatory to the letter that I will send out to these 
banks.

Warmly,

Rahul

[AI] Making films more disabled friendly: a wish list of legislative reforms

2022-10-20 Thread Mission Accessibility

Hi everyone,

As part of a practically oriented study that I am conducting, I would like your 
input on what legislative reforms you think are necessary to make films more 
disabled friendly. Kindly suggest practical solutions, with as much detail as 
possible.

If you could share your input by Saturday 12 noon, that would be ideal. Thanks.

Warmly, Rahul
