HI, This is definitely a good move. I think organisations like Swayam)I think) having people like SC Vasisht should be invited into such committees as they have worked on accessibility of public places in the past. I don't know how things happen at that level. But I think we should volunteer to offer expertise on complete accessibility at this stage of the project rather than just criticise it after it has been completed.
