In view of the above, it is proposed to
have the following objectives and targets
for the Accessible India Campaign:
An accessible physical environment
benefits everyone, not just persons
with disabilities. Measures should be
undertaken to eliminate obstacles and
barriers to indoor and outdoor facilities
including schools, medical facilities,
and workplaces. These would include not
only buildings, but also footpaths, curb
cuts, and obstacles that block the flow of
pedestrian traffic.

ifjogu iz.kkyh lqxE;rk
Transportation is a vital component
for independent living, and like others
in society, PwDs rely on transportation
facilities to move from one place to
another. The term transportation covers
a number of areas including air travel,
buses, taxis, and trains.

Access to information creates
opportunities for everyone in society.
Access to information refers to all
information. People use information in
many forms to make decisions about their
daily lives. This can range from actions
such as being able to read price tags,
to physically enter a hall, to participate
in an event, to read a pamphlet with
healthcare information, to understand
a train timetable, or to view webpages.
No longer should societal barriers
of infrastructure, and inaccessible formats
stand in the way of obtaining and utilizing
information in daily life.
