Agenda :

Accessibility in the Built Environment

 

As per WHO, people with disabilities constitute about 15 percent of the population. They form a huge customer base and talent pool. Lack of accessibility is one of the biggest barriers due to which people with disabilities are unable to access workplaces and services.

 

There have been two major developments in recent years. First, India enacted a legislation in 2016 called the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPWD) Act. It has mandates for all the private establishments to fulfill. It has expanded the definition of disability. It has timelines to retrofit buildings and services to make them compliant with standards and there are penalties for non-compliance.

 

Secondly, is the inclusion of accessibility standards in a comprehensive manner in the various parts/chapters of by National Building code 2016, apart from a very detailed annexure.

 

Join this webinar, to learn more about the RPWD Act 2016 and how it can be complied with.
