Accessible India campaign

“People used to criticise me and taunt me. Many still think that I am mad. But I can’t let people’s negativity spoil the positive work that I am doing."

Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan is a nationwide campaign for achieving universal accessibility for persons with disabilities and to create an enabling and barrier free environment.

The Accessible India campaign is auditing 27 international airports and 75 railway stations to identify areas that need to be improved and made disabled-friendly by July 2016. This inclusiveness aims to give equal opportunities to some 2.68 crore differently-abled in the society.

Companies across India will soon have an incentive to participate in the 'Accessible India' campaign by taking up disabled friendly initiatives. They will be rated on the basis of disabled-friendly office buildings, number of employees with disabilities and more.
