The accessibility campaign run by TAF intends to support the following two Components of the Accessible India Campaign

Built Environment Accessibility

The Accessible India Campaign aims to provide an accessible physical environment to everyone. To achieve this, measures needs to be undertaken to eliminate obstacles and barriers to indoor and outdoor facilities including schools, medical facilities, and workplaces. The built environment not only covers buildings, but also steps and ramps, corridors, footpaths, curb cuts, parking, entry gate, emergency exits, toilets and obstacles that block the flow of pedestrian traffic.

Transportation System Accessibility

Transportation is a vital component for independent living. The term transportation covers a number of areas including air travel, buses, taxis, and trains. Inaccessible transportation system restricts mobility, denies freedom of movement and active participation, for much of the population who may need accessible transportation. The Accessible India Campaign focuses on providing persons with disabilities an equal right to travel and use public and private transportation infrastructure with dignity and independence.

Information and Communication Eco-System Accessibility

It is possible to participate in the Accessible India Campaign through mobile-

Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) has also created an Accessible India Campaign Mobile App, along with a web portal for crowd sourcing the requests regarding inaccessible places. With the app, any person seeking to inform the Government regarding inaccessible public places (like a school, hospital, government office etc.) can click a photograph or video and upload it on the Accessible India portal. The portal will process the request for access audit, financial sanction and final retrofitting of the building to make it completely accessible. The mobile app and portal also seek engagement of big corporates and PSUs to partner in the campaign by offering their help to conduct access audit and for accessibility- conversion of the buildings/transport and websites.

Our country wide volunteers will visit all public places especially, schools, Hospitals and government offices and upload pictures of inaccessible places on the portal.  TAF will liaison with local bodies to address the inaccessibility to schools and lack of accessible toilets.

We are the society we build. 

If you wish to contribute with your time, volunteer with us to raise awareness and mobilize resources for accessibility.

Equal Opportunities 

The fashion & film industry has a huge influence on the general public. The protagonists are mimicked in style and character and what they do creates a trend. 

There are hugely talented people among the PwD’s who are not able to access opportunities on these platforms. Even when some of them are signed for small roles or shows, they are paid very little or not at all. 

TAF’s endeavor is to change the narrative in this field. By partnering with fashion & film agencies and brands, we aim to get opportunities and equal pay for PwDs.
