Hi,
This is a call to bankers on the list and to those on the list involved with advocacy work based in Delhi. The Supreme Court, the High Courts, the CCPD etc have given their rulings directing banks and Financial Institutions to comply with accessibility norms when it comes to all their digital platforms. DFS and RBI have issued guidelines towards accessibility but many of the banks have been slow to comply. We were wondering if there is something else that we as stakeholders can do to speed up the compliance. We are planning a Round Table meeting to brainstorm on possible way forward to help with the speedy implementation of the accessibility norms. Those who have ideas, who have taken up initiatives towards this end and who would like to be part of the brainstorming, please do connect with me off the list. The CPD, a few legal professionals who have worked in the space, a few bankers who are involved with the effort have already signed up. Representatives from RBI and the DFS might also participate. We are in talks with them. A representative from theSugamya Bharat campaign is also likely to attend.. Limited seats for this initial meeting, so those interested in participating in person please write to meon "[email protected]" We have been waiting for long, it is high time we collectively take up initiatives of our own to accelerate the implementation of the accessibility guidelines.
