Truly wonderful! He is distributing iPads and smart phones too. I hope he also ensures that all Govt websites become accessible, the way Govt delivers digital content becomes accessible, further he invests on good quality digital training. Mere distribution of gadgets is good but does not really do very much for the Nation. Digital communication from the MSJE and CCPD's office is far from being accessible. Ask Advocate Amar Jain about his experience with the website of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. Believe me we blind people do not count. We are only worthy for free distribution and charity as far as major section of the Govt is concerned. Mr Modi would do really well if he would use his power and clout to change the way the Govt approaches us blind people.
