Subject: inaccessibility of accounting software, a big barrier in the
employment for candidates with visual impairment.
Court of Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities
Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment
Department of Disability Affairs
Case No.399/1141/12-1 3
Dated: .01.2013
Dispatch No....
To
The Chief Executive Officer,
Tally Solutions Pvt. Ltd.,
AMR Tech Park II,
No. 23 & 24, Hongasandra,
Hosur Main Road, Bangalore,
Karnataka - 560076
Sub: E-mails dated 24.10.2012, 09.11.2012 and 08.11.2012 of Shri Sahil
Agarwal, Shri Dipendra Manocha and Shri Prashant Ranjan Verma regarding
inaccessibility of accounting software, a big barrier in the employment
for
candidates with visual impairment.
Sir,
Please find enclosed the copies of above mentioned e-mails on
the above subject.
2. Shri Sahil Agarwal, Director, Mahesh Motors Pvt. Ltd. Guwahati,
Shri Dipendra Manocha and Shri Prashant Ranjan Verma have brought to the
notice of this Court that the accounting software Tally which is used in
most of the companies in India, is not accessible with screen reader
softwares such as NVDA, JAWS etc. Thus, persons with visual impairment
find
it difficult to use it and it adversely affects employment opportunities
for
them.
3. Section 59 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal
Opportunities,
Protection of Rights & Full Participation) Act, 1995 mandates the Chief
Commissioner for persons with disabilities on his own motion or on
application of any aggrieved person or other wise to look into complaints
inter-alia, with respect to matters relating to deprivation of rights of
persons with disabilities.
4. As persons with visual impairment are apparently being
adversely
affected in the matter of their employment in a particular field due to
inadequate accessibility of Tally software, you are advised to take
appropriate action to make the software adequately accessible for persons
with visual impairment. Action taken in the matter may please be intimated
to this court at the earliest. This court would be happy to facilitate any
positive action in this regard.
Yours faithfully,
(T. D. Dhariyal)
Dy. Chief Commissioner
