Accessible India Campaign

Accessible India Campaign or Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan is a program which is set to be launched to serve the differently-able community of the country.

[5][7] A Sugamya Bharat mobile app which can provide information on disabled-friendly public facilities in a city, will be launched under the scheme.

After it was found that targets under the Accessible India Campaign had been missed by 1–3 years, the government had set March 2020 as the new deadline for completing all the work under this initiative.

[9] The parameters will include investment in the training of the differently able employees and their career growth and the quality of facilities provided to them.

The structure of the points allotment and data management has been estimated by the department of disability affairs which comes under the ministry of social justice and empowerment.

[13] In August 2016, an online library Sugamya Pustakalaya (Accessible Library) was launched under the scheme by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) in collaboration with National Institute of Visually Handicapped, member organizations of Daisy Forum of India, Bookshare and TCS Access.
