Re: [AI] About Section 508
Dear Silpa I think your friend is referring to section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, 1973. This is a U.S. statute and will not be applicable in India as such. Here are the details: Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, 1973 amended substantially In 1998 is a landmark achievement of the campaign to ensure accessible Electronic and Information Technology (E&IT). Most federal agencies are, under this provision, required to "procure, develop, maintain and use" only accessible E&IT for their own use or for use by the public. What sets it apart from other civil rights statutes is the fact that affirmative obligations imposed on federal agencies are to be met well in advance of the occurrence of any discriminatory impact upon an individual with a disability. It also sets into motion a strong enforcement mechanism by calling for the establishment by covered agencies of complaint procedures for use by persons who claim their E&IT rights have been denied.
