Re: [AI] Amrit Udyan: A common name ensures no access to the common (wo)man
Hi Shruti, While I do second you on the point that accessibility needs to be a universal phenomenon, yet we must also understand the pragmatic challenges which we as disabled individuals may encounter. Going to a popular tourist place on a week day makes much more sense for us as weekends see overcrowding everywhere. Moreover, there is also a special day reserved only for the disabled at Amrit Udyan, one can visit on that day as there will be no problem of general public causing inconvenience.

Re: [AI] Amrit Udyan: A common name ensures no access to the common (wo)man
Hi Avichal, Thanks for sharing your point of view and experience, I appreciate it. Accessibility shouldn't be compromised based on week days or weekends and not everyone is lucky to have a volunteer around. The idea is to make the system robust and accessible for each and everyone, disabled or not. My article is based on my opinion which is based on my personal experience. It's okay to have differing opinions after all, in a democracy. *Best,* *Shruti* On Wed, Mar 1, 2023 at 7:48 PM Avichal Bhatnagar wrote: > Hi Shruti, > After reading your article, I must say that it is highly misleading. > On Tuesday, the 14th of February, I took the disabled students of my > college for a visit to Amrit Udyan, and they all had a very wonderful > time. > There were around 8 students, out of which 7 were visually challenged > and the eighth one had a locomotor disability. > We had provided one volunteer each to the visually impaired students, > and none of them found any difficulty in navigating the premises. > While it is true that there are some rough patches in the way which > must be made accessible for the disabled, but overall, the gardens are > a pleasant experience. > Your article is highly exaggerating in terms of highlighting the > inaccessibility of the udyan, and it is always advisable to avoid > going to such places on weekends as they do get crowded. > We went there on a week day, and the experience was good. > > > > > > > On 2/23/23, shruti pushkarna wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Sharing my latest piece on the lack of access at the famous Mughal Garden > > or Amrit Udyan as it has been renamed recently. > > > > > https://www.mxmindia.com/2023/02/amrit-udyan-a-common-name-ensures-no-access-to-the-common-woman/ > > > > *Best,* > > *Shruti* > > > > -- > > Disclaimer: > > 1.

Re: [AI] Amrit Udyan: A common name ensures no access to the common (wo)man
Hi Shruti, After reading your article, I must say that it is highly misleading. On Tuesday, the 14th of February, I took the disabled students of my college for a visit to Amrit Udyan, and they all had a very wonderful time. There were around 8 students, out of which 7 were visually challenged and the eighth one had a locomotor disability. We had provided one volunteer each to the visually impaired students, and none of them found any difficulty in navigating the premises. While it is true that there are some rough patches in the way which must be made accessible for the disabled, but overall, the gardens are a pleasant experience. Your article is highly exaggerating in terms of highlighting the inaccessibility of the udyan, and it is always advisable to avoid going to such places on weekends as they do get crowded. We went there on a week day, and the experience was good.

[AI] Amrit Udyan: A common name ensures no access to the common (wo)man
Hi all, Sharing my latest piece on the lack of access at the famous Mughal Garden or Amrit Udyan as it has been renamed recently. https://www.mxmindia.com/2023/02/amrit-udyan-a-common-name-ensures-no-access-to-the-common-woman/ *Best,* *Shruti* -- Disclaimer: 1.
