It is nice that Assistive technology is classified into three categories 1) Essential Assistive Technology, 2) Specialised Assistive Technology and 3) Emerging Assistive Technology. Further there is provision for customisation, adaptation or retrofitting to meet user-specific functional requirements. For all assistive technology maintained to standards prescribed by BIS or authority under Central Govt. Distribution and online portal points are highly appreciable. I think in point no.14 on page no. 4 the spelling of dysfuntional and dysfunctions should be disfuntional and disfunctions respectively. The government shall ensure that assistive technology is integrated into health, rehabilitation and social welfare schemes. BIS or other authority would ensure inclusive and evidence based standard setting is important.

The Draft Accessibility Standards for the Services Sector should prioritize universal design, digital inclusion, and empathetic service delivery to ensure true accessibility. Along with physical infrastructure, digital platforms, websites, and mobile apps must be made fully compliant with global accessibility benchmarks like WCAG 2.2. Regular training of service personnel on accessibility sensitivity and inclusive communication should be mandated. Further, periodic accessibility audits, public grievance mechanisms, and incentives for inclusive innovation can help make accessibility not just a compliance goal but a social responsibility—reflecting the vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas.

Namaste 🙏🏻 Sir. It has always been good to share our opinion or suggestions through this platform. Before also I have shared my opinions. Today again I'm trying to share with the hope of seeing some fruitful results from your side. As usual my request is to you to please look after the matter of declaration of government exams results. Young children put their whole efforts for the exam in spite of so many hurdles. My son is among one of them. As a mother I worry about my children's mental health the same you worry for your country's goods. Please 🙏🏻 look after the matter of declaration of government exams results so that those who appeared for it atleast could have some mental relieves. High expectations from you for i believe you will never deny the authentic people from getting a government job. Thanking you.

Happy Govardhan Pooja firstly. I want to state that there is really a lack of cleaning in Indian streets. Whenever I see other countries, every time I think of my country. Like-- US, South Korea etc. have clean streets. They are also humans and we are also the same humans. Then why? So, please I request you to take suitable actions for this.
