Hello, I have worked in accessible products for the visually impaired sector for 5 years. During this period, I have attended many national and international conferences that are for PWDs. The draft document attached above does contain necessary requirements listed out; however, exact specifications are missing, which may lead to wrong interpretation- for example, wheelchair ramps- there are optimum, all wheelchair complaint specifications for height, elevation, angle, and material; without a standard specification specified and governed by the body, the ramps installed may vary and will not serve the purpose of accessible buildings. We have seen many schools have ramps, but they are not usable by the wheelchair user without another person pushing them up and down. The purpose of accessible design and products is also to give PWDs independence. I request the governing body to allocate funds and personnel for research and standardisation of specifications.

Proposal for Introducing “Patriotism Education” as a Compulsory Subject in All Educational Institutions to Build a Strong and Integrated India. My slogan for the country is "One day, one work only for the country." Just as small raindrops together create an ocean, if one person does one good deed for the country every day, then with the combined efforts of billions of people, the country will become strong, developed, and orderly. For example, Einstein’s extreme infinity power formula E = MC2, (Super Power India = Theory/Patriotism X Patriotic Activity2). More details in my attached PDF... ALL BHARATIYAM to be all ways happy This is my all in all dream from my childhood

"The Draft Accessibility Standards for the Products Sector is a progressive step towards ensuring inclusivity for persons with disabilities. I strongly suggest integrating Universal Design principles, mandatory accessibility audits, and digital accessibility standards like WCAG 2.2 and IS 17802. Additionally, affordability measures, tactile indicators, voice-assisted features, and awareness campaigns for manufacturers will help create truly barrier-free products. Such steps will not only meet compliance but also enhance usability, dignity, and independence for all users."
