Dear Sagar, I appreciate your concern for the field. What do you do and how do you wish to have an impact on the real-world mobility for disables? I've just been part of the wonderful attempt by few established technical guys to make bus travel accessible for blind. And it's been wonderful.

Dear Sagar, This is an opportune time to give inputs to Mumbai Development Plan 2014 - 2034. You may refer to Street design guidelines for ensuring a barrier free environment that are currently applicable to Delhi for guidance and comment where access issues have not been integrated.
