 disabilities Act 2016 and Article 21 of United nations Conventions on
 Rights of Persons with Disabilities it has been mandatory to provide
 accessible environment to the students, researchers, faculties, staffs
 and visitors with disabilities.
 •   As per the law, all the academic built infrastructure, Web
 services,
 Course content and library services, Course delivery mechanism should
 be made accessible in next 2 years.
 •   UGC has made mandatory to all the academic institutes to provide
 appropriate assistive technologies, accessible course content and

 orientation program of HRDC.
 
 Objectives:
 1.  To sensitize stakeholders of higher education system in India
 about
 creation of accessible environment for persons with disabilities in
 Academics.

Strange, it should not happen like this.
Dhananjay is himself an accessibility avengilist.
I have seen no reply from him even on AI after concerns were raised.
