Mission Accessibility

The doors to cinema were never fully open. Until now. From March 15, every new film in India must include audio descriptions & captions—by law. A big win for accessibility. Read @Rahul400's piece: indianexpress.com/article/opinio… #Accessibility #DisabilityRights #Inclusion

Disability is a rights issue. So why is it still peripheral in Parliament? Purple Sabha 2025 tracks what’s been said & what hasn’t. We ask lawmakers directly. IIC, Delhi | 5:30 PM | March 23 🔗 forms.gle/e1Jhz87p63UjkV… #PurpleSabha #DisabilityRights #PolicyAndPower

We've signed a 3-year MoU with the Office of the Meghalaya State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities. Together, we will work to make Meghalaya a model state for #PwDs through structured projects, policy support & accessibility interventions. @socialpwds @MSJEGOI @Rahul400

Our Co-Founder @amarjain2006 spoke at #IndiaAISummit2026 on AI for Disability Inclusion. Sharing stage with leaders from @Meta, @RoyalSociety & senior govt officials, he said: Accessibility must be designed in — not added later. @socialpwds @GoI_MeitY @nipunmalhotra @tqh_policy

OTT accessibility guidelines are notified following sustained advocacy including a petition by MA Accessibility led by @Rahul400 & Akshat Baldwa. That said they fall short of the spirit of the draft, with diluted timelines and weak compliance mechanisms 🔗shorturl.at/TqvbQ

Disability rights may exist in court orders but they’re still missing from government files. In a must-read @DeccanHerald piece, @AnchalBhatheja consultant to MA, exposes how legal victories fail without administrative action. deccanherald.com/opinion/disabi…

After being denied screen-reader access across multiple @ugc_india #NET cycles, Hoor Jinwala, a 100% blind aspirant, finally has relief. On 8 Jan 2026, @DelhiHighCourt directed @NTA_Exams to allow her to take UGC NET June 2026 using a computer with JAWS/NVDA- screenreader.

AI is moving fast. Accessibility? Not fast enough. A thoughtful piece by Shashank Pandey on why India must clearly define AI accessibility — and lead with intention, not slogans. Worth reading 👇 livemint.com/opinion/online… #AIAccessibility #InclusiveAI #DisabilityInclusion

🇮🇳 Happy #RepublicDay from MA. A truly strong Republic is one where access, dignity & equal rights are guaranteed for everyone — including persons with disabilities. Let’s build an India that is accessible by design, inclusive in practice, and empathetic in spirit. Jai Hind. ♿🇮🇳

Last week’s disability rights judgments- From @SCofIndia reaffirming reasonable accommodation & dignity at work, to @DelhiHighCourt clarifying that inclusion cannot mean dilution of merit — these rulings remind us that disability rights are about equality, not exceptions.

Last week our client visited our office just to say thank you, after we won a @DelhiHighCourt case restoring a BSF caregiver’s posting to Delhi. The Court rejected that earning well cancels disability-related support. Moments like this remind us why we do what we do @Rahul400

A disabled court staffer’s death at Saket Court is not just a tragedy — it exposes systemic failure. Reasonable accommodation is a legal right under the RPwD Act and a human rights obligation under UNCRPD, not a favour. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-n…

The @SCofIndia’s circular on priority listing of disability cases is a quiet but crucial reform. Because justice delayed = rights denied. @AnchalBhatheja explains why this matters, and how procedural delays have long undermined disability rights. hindustantimes.com/ht-insight/gov…

We welcome the @SCofIndia's new priority hearing reform that brings cases concerning PwDs higher up in the case list. Our advocacy for this change underscores why inclusive court processes matter. @ThePrintIndia @Rahul400 🔗 Read the full article here: shorturl.at/xXayX

The Supreme Court of India is shaping disability rights through the lens of inclusive equality — moving beyond charity, sympathy, or token recognition. Equality that ignores disability creates exclusion. 🔗 Read more: scconline.com/blog/post/2026…

Reports from Assam’s mega health camps suggest persons with disabilities & children with disabilities were denied meaningful access, raising concerns under the #RPwDAct. Availability without accessibility is exclusion. Read- guwahatiplus.com/exclusive-news… @socialpwds @MSJEGOI

“Accessibility isn’t charity — it’s dignity, inclusion & economic opportunity.” Sminu Jindal’s interview reminds us that accessibility must be embedded in India’s future — not an afterthought. thecsruniverse.com/articles/acces…
