[AI] Union Bank of India conducted digital Accessibility training for IT officers in GAAD 2024

[Prashant Naik]

Dear All

Happy 13th Global Accessibility Awareness Day, which falls on 16th May 2024.

We are delighted to inform you that on the eve of GAAD, Union Bank of India
conducted a full-day digital accessibility training program for 50 of the
bank's information technology officers at the training college in
Hyderabad. These officers are responsible for software development and
testing.

A significant aspect of this initiative is that the dedicated technical
training in implementing digital accessibility was led by accessibility
expert Raghvendra Satish Peri, founder of DigitalA11Y.com, and his
community engagement work through HelloA11y.

Celebrating the 2nd anniversary of Union Access, this program signifies the
bank's advancement to the next level of digital accessibility maturity.

Tomorrow, the bank will launch a social media awareness initiative on the
occasion through creative posts.

Once again, best wishes to all on GAAD 2024.

Thanks and regards
Prashant Naik

[AI] Coming soon, a Hindi biopic on the Inspiring Journey of Srikanth Bolla

[Prashant Naik]

Dear List

Coming soon, a Hindi biopic based on Srikanth Bolla's life, set to release
on May 10, 2024. It tells the inspiring story of Srikanth, who defied all
odds to become the first blind student at MIT and later founded Bollant
Industries, facing new challenges along the way. His journey is one of
personal triumph and sacrifice, as he not only pursued his dreams but also
worked to secure a better future for others like him.

This movie aims to dispel myths about the capabilities of blind individuals
and raise awareness and sensitivity among viewers. Watch the trailer here:
https://youtu.be/OMeuJP5iBWY

Additionally, the movie's availability with Audio Description on the XL
cinema app makes it inclusive and accessible to all, contributing to a more
inclusive society.

Re: [AI] YOUTUBE link of Badalta Daur: Banking Accessibility Guidelines Decoded

[Prashant Naik]

Dear List,



The discussion in Radio Udan’s Badalta Daur program was highly informative,
shedding light on the Department of Financial Services' "Accessibility
Standards and Guidelines for the Banking Sector," released on February 2,
2024. Eminent speakers Amar Jain, Rahul Gambhir, and George Abraham
provided insights into the merits and demerits of the standards, offering
their views on the reality of banking access for customers with
disabilities. This is undoubtedly an important development.

Key points from the "Accessibility Standards and Guidelines for the Banking
Sector" by the Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance,
include:

·Accessibility standards for physical infrastructure.

·Accessibility to branch premises.

·Self-service machines/kiosks with voice guidance features.

·Accessibility compliance standard as per BIS Indian Accessibility
standard IS 17802 for ICT.

·Accessible communication for persons with hearing impairment.

·Accessible digital documents - e-circulars, user manuals,
e-statements in accessible PDF, etc.

·Disability awareness training for bank staff.

·Mandatory online training as part of the induction process.

·Board-approved policies on accessibility.

·Nodal officer in every branch for customers with disabilities.

·Senior-level nodal officer at the head office level.

·One member of the customer service committee is a person with a
disability.

·At least one person with a disability on the advisory committee to
recommend inclusive banking services.

·CBS to flag customers with disabilities for special facilities
such as doorstep banking, etc.

·Periodical review of services for customers with disabilities.

·Addition of a section in the annual report on services for
customers with disabilities.

·The Reserve Bank of India will issue guidelines to ensure the
accessibility of banking services to persons with disabilities.

For the full program of Radio Udan, please follow the link:

Re: [AI] Voting as a visually impaired and all the procedures

[Prashant Naik]

Hi Saurav,

Hope below information may be of use.

Dear friends,
Subject: VOTING PROCEDURES.

Many amongst us, are not aware of VOTING procedures or have not voted due
to not being able to access the information on the candidates who have
stood for elections.
To help the visually challenged persons to understand these issues, we have
approached the chief electoral officer/ chief additional secretary,
Maharashtra, Mr. Shrikant Deshpande, to arrange for special workshops for
the visually challenged persons.

We are glad to inform you that he has agreed to conduct these workshops at
Ruia College, Matunga, at Jhunjhunwala College, Ghatkopar and at Bedekar
College , Thane.

These workshops will be held between 25th February and 28th February 2024.
The exact dates and timing will be informed to you, once you register with
us So please register immediately.

At these workshops, the staff of the election commissioner, will
demonstrate the EVM machine by using a dummy. They will guide you how to
vote using the same. They will also provide Neha Kit Helpline, which will
transcribe the candidates list etc. in Braille.

As this will be of immense help to all those of you, who are eligible to
vote, we would request you to register your name with us by filling up the
Google form given below as early as possible.

Kindly note even those who have not applied for voters card, though they
are eligible are requested to attend this workshop, as they will be guided
how to apply and acquire the card.

Re: [AI] Usage of NIC emails for communication by Central Government employees

[Prashant Naik]

Hi Sanjay


I understand the challenge with the 30 second time gap in code changes with
screen reader gesture navigation in reading the code.  Yes it needs to be
increased to 60 seconds.

Here I wish to share an accessibility solution with you that at Union Bank
of India we have developed in the case of such a code generation app.

Union Bank of India has a mobile app U-Token as an alternative to OTP
received through SMS. Customer can generate a token number through U-Token
App and use that token number to authorize the internet banking transaction
instead of SMS OTP.  The code changes every 60 seconds.

As part of accessibility program Union Access, we have enhanced key
accessibility features in the U-Token App making it fully navigable and
operable with screen reader on both android and IOS platforms.

The significant feature we introduced is that after logging the code
generated is informed to screen reader user without navigating and focusing
on the code in the app. The changed code after 60 seconds is also informed
to the screen reader user automatically when focus is on the code generated
page. The time remaining i.e. 60 second counter is also informed properly
with added narration for screen reader users. So the navigation with
gesture is avoided for U token app for the hands free operation on PC /
laptop,

Such innovative accessibility enhancements may be added to the Kavach app.
Feel free to connect to know more about.


Thanks and regards,

Prashant Naik

Re: [AI] XRCVC Celebrates 10th Anniversary of Talking ATM India

[Prashant Naik]

Dear list



As we commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Talking ATM India (
https://talkingatmindia.org) web locator service, heartfelt appreciation to
XRCVC and Sai Bhagat for their unwavering support and significant
contributions. The recent recognition of the Talking ATM India site in the
'Digital portal for PwDs developed by DEPwD' highlights the impactful reach
of this service.



The website's comprehensive financial information, including banking
services for customers with disabilities, insurance, and investment
guidelines, has made it a go-to resource.



Sai Bhagat's singular dedication in designing and developing the website,
incorporating unique features such as geo-based smart search and screen
reader compliance, has been instrumental in its success.



XRCVC's 20-year commitment to financial access and pioneering efforts in
prototype development with ATM vendors have been transformative. Their
advocacy has led to key policy changes and directives, promoting financial
inclusion for all.



Here's to another decade of progress, inclusion, and empowerment.



Thanks and regards,

Prashant Naik

[AI] Mandatory eye scanning for SIM purchase

[Prashant Naik]

Dear List

Below text is from the WhatsApp group.  It is a major issue.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to bring to your attention a critical issue faced by visually
impaired individuals, including myself, when attempting to purchase SIM
cards from various telecommunications service providers such as Airtel,
Vodafone Idea, and Jio. Our inability to scan with our eyes, due to the
absence of retina or iBalls, presents a significant challenge when
attempting to go through the conventional process of SIM card acquisition
at retail outlets.

As visually impaired individuals, we encounter insurmountable difficulties
as retailers rely on eye scanning for SIM card purchases, which creates a
barrier that excludes us from accessing essential telecommunication
services. This impediment not only contravenes our rights but also isolates
us from the benefits of seamless connectivity.

In light of these challenges, we seek the intervention of TRAI to address
this matter. We urge the authority to advocate for and enforce better
regulations and solutions that would ensure equitable access to SIM cards
for persons with visual impairment who lack the ability to scan with their
eyes. We propose the implementation of alternative measures, such as
biometric solutions like fingerprint scanners, to facilitate the purchase
of SIM cards, thereby ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for all.

It is imperative that the regulatory framework governing SIM card purchases
is adapted to accommodate the needs of the visually impaired community,
enabling us to exercise our right to procure essential telecommunication
services independently and with dignity.

We earnestly request TRAI to take proactive steps to revise and implement
regulations that embrace the principles of universal design and
accessibility, addressing the specific challenges faced by visually
impaired individuals during the process of SIM card purchases.

We are confident that with your support and advocacy, a more inclusive and
accessible framework can be established, promoting the empowerment and
independence of persons with visual impairment in the domain of
telecommunications.

We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to the
implementation of measures that uphold the rights and dignity of
individuals with visual impairment in accessing telecommunication services.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
Doctor Sonal Dubey

Re: [AI] Handling of cash?

[Prashant Naik]

Dear List



In this thread of handling of cash, I wish to share the following
information.



A Mumbai based printer Galord Arts has developed a cardboard paper based
simple solution. He has named it “currency bank note value identifier for
visually impaired people''.  This is costing around 100 rupees.   It is an
envelope size measuring device with braille and stopper marks for different
currencies from 500 to 10 rupees for new notes.  One face is for new notes
and the opposite is for old notes 100 to 10 rupees.  User needs to insert a
single currency inside the hold band and trace the currency edge to read
the value.



This product has been available for a year now. It is an individual's
experience whether it is really a useful one or not.



Contact information of the printer is – Galord Arts mobile 9322270903,
email address: galord...@gmail.com


Thanks & Regards
Prashant Naik

Re: [AI] Singnature required for banking facilities?

[Prashant Naik]

Dear Vaibhav,


Regarding your SBI branch experience, I found information in SBI Internal
Circular NBG/PBU/LIMA-SB/22/2023 – 24 dated Tue 3 Oct 2023, compiling
relevant circulars on "SBI Banking Facilities to Visually Challenged."
Despite being for internal circulation, awareness can resolve issues like
yours. Page 3, Point 2 highlights the available facilities. While awareness
and implementation pose challenges, advocating for your rights by citing
this circular could address the problem.

In this thread someone has quoted rules regarding literate and illiterate
blind persons using thumb impression. They are also from the above cited
SBI master circular but not from RBI master circular.

Check the webpage https://talkingatmindia.org/Resources.aspx for
bank-specific information on services for customers with disabilities, a
valuable resource by XRCVC, Mumbai.

Thanks & Regards
Prashant Naik

Re: [AI] Query regarding Braille ATM Card of Union Bank of India

[Prashant Naik]

Hi Naman

Sparsh card variant is available as RuPay platinum.  Visa card variant is
not available with Sparsh features. You may replace current RuPay Platinum
with Sparsh RuPay platinum card.



Hi Pavan

Sparsh card issuance SOP and card features with photo are available in
bank’s circulars.  You may let us know your branch name. We will sensitize
the officials.



I request all our friends having queries on accessible banking offerings by
Union Bank of India or need any disability support, please reach to us.
Union Bank has a special cell ‘Union Access’ for the support.

Re: [AI] Query regarding Braille ATM Card of Union Bank of India

[Prashant Naik]

Dear friends


Features of Union Sparsh card:

• The Union Sparsh debit card is identified by the raised
letter “U” embossed in Braille. The U stands for “Union Bank of India”. The
Braille marking on the card makes it easy to recognize the card and
differentiate it from other banks cards.  It also helps to know the face of
the card.

• A rounded notch to the opposite edge of the chip is another
key tactile feature added in the card design. This serves as a guide for
the direction in which to insert the card and to recognize that this is a
Debit Card type for the blind card users to use the card in the right
direction at ATMs and payment terminals.

• Card also has a UV printing effect with raised texture for
the large size of the bank logo and contactless symbol just next to card
chip on the face of the card.

• This RuPay EMV Platinum card variant has other key features
such as contactless, international card, rewards points, insurance cover
and lounge access.

• Union Bank of India has designed accessible card that is easy
to use and visually appealing for low vision persons as well. This includes
features such as clear card holder name, bold fonts, and bright colors to
make the card easy to read and use.

• One of the first significant step by the bank is accessible
content in for form of Braille literature is part of Sparsh debit card
welcome dispatch kit every Sparsh card holder receives.

Please read more about Accessible banking options and the Sparsh card by
Union Bank of India -

[AI] International Day of Sign Languages 2023 celebration at Union Bank of India

[Prashant Naik]

Dear All


It is a well-established fact that continuous efforts to promote inclusion
and accessibility play a crucial role. Union Bank of India, is committed to
this cause and consistently undertakes initiatives to raise awareness on
various levels.

Today, the bank celebrated the International Day of Sign Languages 2023 by
sharing a special social media post. The goal was to highlight the
significance of sign languages as a vital means of accessible communication
for the Deaf community.

Furthermore, yesterday on the eve of this important disability day, Union
Bank of India launched two significant initiatives.

1.   Published a concise booklet titled "Hands in Harmony," which
showcases the inspiring success stories of Deaf employees and their
contributions at the workplace.

2.   Additionally, Bank organized an enlightening webinar titled
"Accessibility Awareness." This event featured two distinguished expert
speakers who engaged in a conversational dialogue with a sign language
interpreter. The webinar covered a wide range of topics, including the
challenges faced by the Deaf community, the banking services tailored to
their needs, insights into sign language, available technical solutions,
and more.

I'm delighted to mention that as part of the Union Access project, both
myself and Rahul Gambhir collaborated closely with the bank's Digital
Learning Academy in spearheading these awareness initiatives. This
experience has provided us with valuable insights into the Deaf community
and reinforced our commitment to fostering a more inclusive environment.


Thanks and regards,

Prashant Naik

[AI] NVDA screen reader made available by Union Bank of India for Official Language officers

[Prashant Naik]

Dear List



Union Bank of India has taken a ground-breaking step in the Indian Banking
sector. Very recently Bank has made available NVDA open source screen
reader for the use by Official Language officers.  This is adopted as an
add-on to JAWS screen reader but not a replacement. NVDA screen reading
software is available on a centralized location on the intranet for
download and install by visually impaired official language officers. The
software is made available on the request of official language officers for
on the fly multi-language support.



This step is a path breaking as now at Union Bank of India, from the day
one visually impaired staff members will have a screen reader access till
the time they get JAWS software which generally takes some time due to
procurement process.  It is stated that NVDA screen reader software is
supplementary to JAWS screen reader considering its feature of multi
languages text-to-speech support for efficiently working in both English
and Hindi languages simultaneously.



Bank’s accessibility cell “Union Access” has played a coordination role on
the request received from official language officers in this pioneering
initiative by Union Bank of India.



This is another success in the bank’s inclusive and accessible offerings
which ranges from Talking ATMs, Union Sparsh Braille debit cards,
Accessible Banking webpage, ongoing accessibility improvements, special
outreach accounts opening camps, exclusive resources portal named DIVYA on
the intranet for employees with disabilities and now adoption of NVDA, an
open-source screen reader.



Many such initiatives on disability inclusion and accessibility
enhancements are underway at Union Bank of India.



Please give your suggestion and feedback to
unionacc...@unionbankofindia.bank



Thanks and regards,

Prashant Naik

Re: [AI] Union Bank of India received Disability Positive Award 2023

[Prashant Naik]

Dear List



Good morning. Sincere thanks for your appreciation and support.



Suitable changes to support enhancing digital accessibility at Union Bank
of India are undergoing but a long way to go.  Current banking is so
dynamic with rapid transformation and demands from all sides of the banking
spectrum so the pace is progressive.



In one year duration, Union accessibility has impacted at diverse levels
such as awareness, outreach, community connect, NGO collaboration, new
market segment, accessible content creation, accessibility enhancements for
digital spaces, user guides for assistive technology users, policy
framework development, accessibility training, inclusion initiatives for
employees with disabilities and accessible innovations.



There are many new things planned and existing accessibility challenges
fixes are in the pipeline.



Rahul Gambhir and myself are part of the program Union Access.  We are
strongly committed to accessible banking attainment.



Once again, thank you AccessIndians.  Please reach at
unionacc...@unionbankofindia.bank for feedback on Union Bank accessible
banking.



Thanks & Regards

Prashant Naik

[AI] Union Bank conducted accessibility capacity building program

[Prashant Naik]

Dear All

Awareness on accessibility and assistive technology is one of the important
pillars of the accessibility journey for an organisation.

In the services sector like banking this becomes more important as the
industry is ever changing to meet diverse customer needs through digital
means.

The Union Learning Academy, Digital Transformation conducted an awareness
session titled “Accessibility Matters” for app/website developers, testers
and related officials on 20th March 2023.

The session was conducted by Saidarshan Bhagat from C-DAC Mumbai who is an
expert in the domain and was part of the committee on BIS Standards on ICT
accessibility. This special capacity building program was supported by the
Team Union Access, Union Bank’s flagship initiative on digital
accessibility improvements.

The leadership at Union Bank of India is embedding accessibility and
inclusivity in its core philosophy.  "Accessibility by design is the best
practice" a key concept shared by Shri Anil Kuril, Chief Technical Officer,
Union Bank of India in his keynote speech during valedictory session.

Thanks & Regards
Prashant Naik

[AI] Union Sparsh braille accessible debit card by Union Bank of India

[Prashant Naik]

Dear list


Sharing recent banking accessibility development.



Union Bank of India has been a Pioneer of conceptualizing truly accessible
and Talking ATM and implementing them on a large scale.  Bank has taken
another lead by introducing an inclusive and accessible banking card
product named “Union Sparsh” , a Braille debit card for visually impaired
and partially sighted people.



Recently Union Bank of India has rolled out special accessible and Braille
Debit cards for customers with visual impairments.  Many customers who have
applied have received this special accessible debit card by Union Bank of
India.



This accessible Braille debit card named “Union Sparsh” is designed as part
of the bank's dedicated accessible and inclusive banking program ‘Union
Access’ launched on Global Accessibility Awareness Day in May 2022. This
special accessible card development is done with the support from experts
from the blind community in India and cooperation with NGOs - Saksham
Delhi, NAB Delhi and XRCVC, Mumbai.



Salient features of Union Sparsh card :

   - The Union Sparsh debit card are identified by the raised letter “U”
   embossed in Braille. The U stands for “Union Bank of India”. The Braille
   marking on the card makes it easy to recognize the card and differentiate
   it from other banks cards.  It also helps to know the face of the card.
   - A rounded notch to the opposite edge of the chip is another key
   tactile feature added in the card design. This serves as a guide for the
   direction in which to insert the card and to recognize that this is a Debit
   Card type for the blind card users to use the card in the right direction
   at ATMs and payment terminals.
   - Card also has a UV printing effect with raised texture for the large
   size of the bank logo and contactless symbol just next to card chip on the
   face of the card.

Bank's this RuPay EMV Platinum card variant has other key features such as
international card, rewards points, insurance cover and lounge access.



Union Bank’s Visually impaired customers can request new debit card or
their current cards can also be replaced on request.  Important requirement
is that the customer is registered in the bank’s system as customer type
‘Blind’.



Union Bank of India is regularly spreading awareness to the field staff to
enhance banking access to PwDs and advised branches to open accounts for
persons with disabilities.



Union Bank of India has a history of great initiatives to accomplish
underlying objectives of universal accessibility.  Bank continues to aspire
to be the best accessible bank for all.

YES. You can update the date of birth in your Aadhaar with a valid Date of
Birth (DoB) Proof (refer:

[AI] Celebration of White Cane Safety Day on October 15, 2022 by Union Bank of India

[Prashant Naik]

Dear Access India list members,


As in the past, Union Access embarked on mass awareness activities at the
bank level and we are happy to share another such program.  Union Bank is a
pioneer in celebrating special days like 3rd December, International Day
for Persons with Disabilities and 19th May, Global Accessibility Awareness
Day.

On October 15, “White Cane Safety Day” is observed around the world. White
Cane Safety Day celebrates the achievements of blind or visually impaired
people.  As part of awareness campaign bank celebrated this special day on
a large scale

In the bank the day celebration on October 15, 2022 is well received by the
field functionaries at various levels.   Bank top leaders also issued
special message for the day to the staff.  Social media post and HR team
mass emailer were circulated.

The concept of self-advocating is practiced which gave an opportunity to
bank’s employees with vision impairment to demo, present and interact on
the occasion of special day celebration with seniors and fellow
colleagues.

This celebration of the day has surely helped in more awareness and
sensitization of bank employees.

We share this here as awareness plays a vital role in the efforts of
advocating for inclusion and accessibility.  Similar initiatives may be
carried out by other organizations and our fellow Access India members.


Thanks & Regards
Prashant Naik

Reserve Bank of India- Integrated Ombudsman Scheme, 2021. Provides
cost-free redress of customer complaints involving deficiency in services
rendered by entities regulated by RBI

The Scheme adopts the ‘One Nation One Ombudsman’ approach by making the RBI

 Very important is that first complaints to be launched with the RBI
regulating entity, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the customers or
not replied within a period of 30 calendar days by the regulated entity
then one can lodge the complaint with the RBI banking ombudsman.

A Centralised Receipt and Processing Centre has been set up at RBI,
Chandigarh for receipt and initial processing of physical and email
complaints in any language.

 Complaints can be filed online on https://cms.rbi.org.in.

Complaints can also be filed through the dedicated e-mail c...@rbi.org.in

Additionally, a Contact Centre with a toll-free number – 14448 (9:30 am to
5:15 pm) – The Contact Centre will provide information/clarifications
regarding the alternate grievance redress mechanism of RBI and to guide
complainants in filing of a complaint.

A copy of the Scheme is available on the RBI website and on the CMS portal (
https://cms.rbi.org.in).

Specified list of exclusions or No complaint for deficiency in service
shall lie under the Scheme in matters involving:

(a) commercial judgment/commercial decision of a Regulated Entity;

(b) a dispute between a vendor and a Regulated Entity relating to an
outsourcing contract;

(c) a grievance not addressed to the Ombudsman directly;

(d) general grievances against Management or Executives of a Regulated
Entity; (e) a dispute in which action is initiated by a Regulated Entity in
compliance with the orders of a statutory or law enforcing authority;

(f) a service not within the regulatory purview of the Reserve Bank;

(g) a dispute between Regulated Entities; and

(h) a dispute involving the employee-employer relationship of a Regulated

Reserve Bank of India - Integrated Ombudsman Scheme, 2021-
https://cms.rbi.org.in/cms/assets/Documents/Ombudsman_Scheme_English.pdf

The most important point reiterated by the RBI officials is in case of
denial and deficiency in services to persons with disabilities, we need to
lodge it with the RBI ombudsman if the issue is not resolved to the
satisfaction of the or not replied within a period of 30 calendar days by
the banking / financial entity.



In the second part of the session, RBI officials explained Modus Operandi
and Precautions to be taken against Fraudulent Transactions.

Re: [AI] Union Access

[Prashant Naik]

Positive Pay is a process of validating/confirming the key details of
cheques to deter Cheque frauds (applicable on high value cheques amounting
Rs 5/- and above). Please refer to the RBI’s circular number RBI/2020-
1/41/DPSS.CO.RPPD.No.309/04.07.2005/2020-21, issued on September 25th , 2020
Customers are requested to submit in advance the key details of cheques
issued to the beneficiaries so that Bank can pass cheque in CTS clearing
without contacting the customers. In case of any mismatch Bank can reject
the cheque or take suitable action to prevent wrong payment or fraud. Banks
have provided various options for customers to avail this facility through
various banking channels such as: Internet Banking, Branch Visit, SMS
Banking and Internet Banking.

Thanks & Regards
Prashant Naik

Re: [AI] Union Access

[Prashant Naik]

Dear List



Sharing a few successes that Union Access achieved in recent times.

1. The latest success is an OTP generation mobile application for
authorizing login/transactions done on Union Bank of India Internet Banking
portal is made fully screen reader friendly for both android and IOS in
user acceptance test phase. Soon its updated version with maximum
accessibility will be made live. It was a great learning experience for
team Union access to work closely with the developers and to get the
remediations implemented.

2. Newly added features in the internet banking portal of the Union Bank of
India like deposit print receipt,  Re-KYC, Cheque positive pay system and
Debit card limit are improved for accessibility.

3. Bank’s few departments are sensitized and educated to send daily
informative and educative emails with text description for the embedded
images in emails. Also, e-circulars are regularly monitored by the
concerned bank’s team. In case of uploaded scanned image pdf they
immediately flag it for replacement with text searchable pdf format.

4. In continuation to Union Access awareness efforts post 600+ probationary
officers disability and accessibility sensitization sessions, 1400+
clerks total
18 numbers awareness sessions on disability inclusion are scheduled by the
bank's training college which will be conducted by team Union Access.

5. As part of ongoing Union Access outreach program, we facilitated opening
bank accounts for persons with visual impairment with the support from
NGOs, colleagues and branch staff.  Our bank’s visually impaired employees
are equally participating in the bank's aspiration on digital accessibility
enhancement.

Still, a long way to go as our key focus is on digital banking channels
accessibility improvements.  We are thankful for the support from the list
and urge to provide feedback and suggestions to email id
unionacc...@unionbankofindia.bank

[AI] Union Access

[Prashant Naik]

Dear Friends


Two months ago, I shared a positive initiative by Union Bank of India
regarding the launch of a digital accessibility enhancement dedicated
project called Union Access.  Myself and Rahul Gambhir are the resources
involved in this project.

It is an immense task to integrate ICT accessibility across the
organization which will take time.  We have taken several steps in this
direction.  Bank is on its journey to enhance digital accessibility.  We
are happy to share a few areas of our work in the last few months.

Submitted more than 30 digital accessibility and user interface enhancement
feedback and testing reports to different departments. Concern teams were
made aware of accessibility challenges.  We have covered digital banking
channels, mobile apps, email communications and internal portals.

Most important area of ongoing work is spreading awareness  to integrate
accessibility.  We are continuously engaged in the process. We have
developed 2 training modules and now they are part of the bank's eLearning
system. We have done vendors’ sensitization, staff awareness,
communications with departments and a very recent one is this week
team Union Access conducted a series of sessions on  accessible and
inclusive banking for newly joined 600+ Probationary officers.  These new
POs will be tomorrow’s decision makers and will spread further awareness to
6000 bankers wherever they will be posted. So the bank has done the right
thing to introduce them regarding disabilities, inclusive banking and
accessibility.

Many activities were carried out as part of Union Access like survey, books
publication, email communication accessibility enhancement, ecirculars
accessibility, documentation, data collection, support to users and
customers, talking ATM feedback and so on.

It is great learning for us in setting up a project on digital
accessibility in a large-scale bank with 75000+ employees. Few successes we
did achieve however, aiming for major remediations and 'accessible by
design' products.

Most important thing is today there is a buzz word regarding Union Access
and accessibility in the Union Bank of India and with due course we are
hopeful to achieve milestones on accessibility improvements.

We urge Access Indians and friends to write to us with suggestions and
feedback regarding Union Bank of India Digital spaces to email id
unionacc...@unionbankofindia.bank

The existing National Policy for Persons with Disabilities was adopted

draft a new National Policy for Persons with Disabilities for
its consideration. The Task Force submitted its recommendations with a
draft new National Policy for Persons with Disabilities to the Committee

Policy suggested by the Task Force. Based on its deliberations and inputs
from the members, the Committee suggested a draft new National Policy for

Hi all,

Sharing link of my article on the 10th Anniversary of Accessible and
Talking ATM in India.

 10th Anniversary of Accessible and Talking ATM in India

Disclaimer - This article is written in my personal capacity. I have been
associated with Talking ATM and promoting accessible banking since 2010;
more than 12 years now. So, expressing my reflections on the 10th
Anniversary of 1st Accessible and Talking ATM in India.
Talking ATM

Offering accessible banking services presents a business opportunity before
the banks and is their social responsibility as well. In India, the
financial regulator (RBI) has also directed the banks wide notification
(DBOD.No.Leg.BC.123 /09.07.005/2008-09) suggesting that at least one-third
of the new ATMs of all banks must be accessible.

Talking ATM is one such great achievement and an excellent example of
technological solutions for persons with blindness allowing independent
cash withdrawal with security and privacy.
Talking ATM India

Saidarshan Bhagat in 2014 and owned by XRCVC, Mumbai since 2017.

in India.

•Locations data from many banks available.

•Geo location based smart search as well as advanced search
features.

•One stop for resources, demos and circulars on banking access.

•Download Indian Banks Association Bankers ' Guide 2017.

•Talking ATM India Supported by Indian Banks’ Association (IBA).

•Recipient of Global Elevate Award.


XRCVC’s lead in Financial Access

Xavier’s Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged (XRCVC) took the
initiative as early as in the year 2009 to coordinate with the banking
industry and ATM vendors to make fully accessible ATMs. The first
demonstration of such a prototype ATM was organized on August 12th, 2009 in
the XRCVC office at St Xavier’s College, Mumbai.  Further XRCVC worked
closely in collaboration with Union Bank of India and with many other banks
in India to enhance financial access.


Union Bank of India’s contribution

Union Bank of India is pioneer in this area which installed the first Truly
Accessible and Talking ATM in the campus of Blind Peoples Association,
Vastrapur, Ahmedabad on 6th June 2012.  Indian Banks Association has
recognized Union Bank’s model as a standard for other banks to replicate.
The ATM location also has a ramp for wheelchair-bound persons, a guide path
on the floor to direct the vision-impaired towards the machine, Braille
guide labels on the machine, and complete stepwise voice guidance through
headphones. Users can opt for voice guidance in English or Hindi. Union
Bank of India is the only bank which has prepared and published handbook on
Talking ATM usage by blind and low vision.  The DAISY and accessible PDF
format of the 3rd edition of the bilingual user manuals are available on
the bank's corporate website.

Bank’s new accessibility project Union Access has taken a proactive
approach and suggested a 10th Anniversary celebration to concern teams
which happened today which itself is a major step at this juncture on ATM
accessibility and spreading awareness.


Current Status – on 10th anniversary of India’s 1st Talking ATM

·Usage of ATM by the general public and also by visually impaired
persons has reduced a lot due to huge penetration of digital payments like
UPI and QR codes.

·Given the advent of innovative financial technologies (FinTech)
today, novel financial solutions are introduced aiming towards a cashless
economy.

·However, ATM is still the only option we have to get the hard cash
24x7 anywhere anytime other than a bank branch.

·So, there is a definite need to have an ATM with a functional
talking ATM feature at key locations and especially near NGOs for the
persons with disabilities.

·The ground reality is not that encouraging, unfortunately on the
Talking ATM front.

·Banks have not updated locations data regarding Talking ATM and
ramp locations since long.

·Due to Covid situation in the last 2 years many things got slipped
including maintenance and implementation of Talking ATMs.

·Technology update with new Operating Systems and enhanced security
needs for ATMs

Re: [AI] Union Bank of India’s digital accessibility initiative

[Prashant Naik]

Respected all,



We are thankful to one and all for your kind support and encouragement.



Harish Kotian sir, you are very right. As part of the IBA working group in
the year 2018 we proposed an accessibility cell to be formed by the banks.
In our bank it is Rahul Gambhir’s persistent advocacy efforts we have now a
dedicated accessibility cell.



Regarding accessibility gaps in existing Union Bank of India’s digital
banking products we have already submitted feedback with concern teams and
we are following up for remediation.



We are getting in touch with those who have any queries and need to learn
how to access Union Bank’s mobile or internet banking. Please write to
email id unionacc...@unionbankofindia.bank for any support, issue, query or
suggestion.  We assure prompt response.



Once again, our heartfelt thanks to all.



Thanks and regards,

Prashant Naik

You should try to convince people to upload and circulate documents in text 
format and not as scanned images. I think this has benefits for all, people 
will be able to search for text in documents and  use parts of it in other 
documents if needed. And it will eliminate the main barrier for print disabled. 
 

I believe they want to circulate scanned documents to indicate that it has been 
signed by authorities and that they are genuine. In this digital age, presence 
of signature on screen alone is not a guarantee, if someone wants they can 
forge it easily. So, courts can rely more on the source of documents and resort 
to some other methods of validation like digital signature, QR code etc. 

Asking for implementing accessibility guidelines within the documents such as 
use of heading styles and  image descriptions  is probably beyond the scope for 
now. Even if text based PDF/Word/HTML  files are made available, I think it 
will make life easier for many.

Thanks. 
Prashant

Prashant sir, I have two queries from you.

1. You will be conducted 3 short certification courses from 1st May onwards,
what's the timing of their classes?

2. You also had conducted six short term technical trainings for visually
impaired, would you also upload those recordings? Because I have missed
those classes due to very less knowledge of zoom app. Regards, aman.

2020 Saturday, 4.30 pm  

As very well quoted by Carlton Fisk "It's not what you achieve, it's what
you overcome. That's what defines your career."

NAB Delhi is pleased to present this webinar with Sadaf Khan. As a person

should I crack the interview without the focus of the interviewer being on
my disability? What is the best way to dress up for the interview? And many
more.

To address many such questions on resume writing and managing interviews
group discussions, as well as succession planning nab Delhi brings to you a
session on career growth and succession planning.

largest multinational professional services firm across the world. She holds
over 2.5 years of experience in managing the entire cycle of talent

or department across industry), creating dashboards, obtaining feedback and
releasing offer. She has been managing lateral recruitment for the financial
risk management as well as cybersecurity domains across India and the Middle
East region. She has also been involved in various activities undertaken by
her organization towards diversity and inclusion. She is passionate about
training and development and has been designing various training sessions
write from her college days on topics like team building and so on.

body language and importance of the posture in the interview, managing group
discussion and so on


Webinar 2 


Legal Rights and Entitlements as a Person with Disability by Amar Jain - 24
April 2020 Friday, 6 pm 

As a person with a disability, we face hardships in availing any facility or
service. It starts from education, employment, and goes on to our banking
needs, insurance, investment through demat and trading accounts, access to
financial credit such as loans, credit cards, and so on. Add to it are the
compliance related challenges while using thumb / body impression as a
signature, including ownership and other issues.

To bridge this gap, NAB Delhi is organizing a virtual session on "Legal
rights and entitlements as a person with a disability" on April 24, 2020
(Friday) at six P.M. (IST). The session will be conducted by Amar Jain, who
is a corporate lawyer with over six years' experience in capital markets and
banking & finance respectively. He is also a Certified Professional in Web
Accessibility from International Association of Accessibility Professionals.
