"This AC bus by BHEL will benefit around 300 differently-abled students living on the campus of the university, particularly in the summer months (April to July) when the weather is extremely hot," said JNU spokesperson Poonam Kudesia. Proper infrastructure at bus stops The university administration will be providing disabled-friendly supporting infrastructure at bus stops commensurate with the nature of disabilities of the students. The operating cost for the bus will also be borne by the Jawaharlal Nehru University management. -- Avinash Shahi Doctoral student at Centre for Law and Governance JNU Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
