Absolutely correct! I remember about 4 or 5 years ago, I did write to Paytm regarding accissibility issues and suggestions of fixing them. I don't know whether coincidence or what, but Paytm did fix many of the issues. At almost same time or a year prior, Inn our bank's (BOB) Android APP, (BOB world, previously known as Baroda MConnect), Accessibility problems were removed in single day after getting my feedback and suggestions. I worked with our accessibility team for next few years, most of the problems got fixed, and as time goes, APP changes with new look but most of its part is quiet accessible. They still sometimes ask me about issues and fixes and I happily contribute. I also did write to Pockets APP of ICICI bank, they promised for fixes but did not do anything. same happened with Airtel and Citi bank. Similarly, we cannot forget contribution of our own Bhawanishankar Varma when he challenged IRCTC. Likewise, Shri Vedprakash Sharma, Sadguru Rathi, Ajay Minocha, Mahesh (not recalling his surname) and many many others always try hard for accessibility related concerns of APPS and websites. Some person named Aziz if I'm correct also took unique approach by starting petition about Swiggi Accessibility issues. In short, those persuing courts and taking other legal steps are appreciated immensely, but at the same time, individual steps taken by members are also commendable. Lastly, it seems these collective approaches have started showing their results. Once again, greatful for constant efforts taken by all.

While people ike Kanchan, Amar and Rahul play a role in taking matters to the court, what each one of us should do is spread awareness about development and push companies to abide by the order.

This is for the first time CCPD has in its order asked any service provider to conduct an accessibility audit as opposed to resolution of the issues flagged by us. Hence this is a positive development. This exercise needs to be completed in a period of 3 months. The order is attached. Regards, Amar Jain -- Disclaimer: 1.
