Dear access Indians, We are thrilled to announce the successfully organized workshop by the Centre of Excellence for Persons with Disability, SBI Foundation, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2023 at SBILD Vashi, Navi Mumbai. This event was a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to creating a more inclusive society.
We had the privilege of collaborating with XRCVC (Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visually Challenged), renowned experts in the field, to bring their invaluable knowledge and expertise to the workshop. Their contribution enhanced the impact and effectiveness of the sessions, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of accessibility for persons with disabilities. The workshop was divided into two parts, focusing on essential aspects of accessibility. The first part was dedicated to partner banks, with the aim of educating them on creating accessible documents. Often, we assume that everyone will be able to read the documents we create, but unfortunately, some categories of persons with disabilities face challenges in accessing them. Through this session, we raised awareness and provided practical solutions for making documents inclusive and accessible to all. The second part of the workshop focused on building accessible websites and applications, dedicatedly for Team GITC SBI. Developers were enlightened on the precautions to be taken to ensure inclusivity, with a special emphasis on following the accessibility guidelines given by WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). A special mention goes to Mr. Reshwin for the media coverage, which helped spread awareness about our initiatives on a larger scale, reaching a wider audience and inspiring others to join us in our mission. We extend our gratitude to each and every participant who attended and actively contributed to the workshop. Your dedication to creating an inclusive society is truly commendable. Let us continue working together, breaking barriers, and championing accessibility for all. Together, we can create a world that values diversity and provides equal opportunities for everyone. Thank you all!
