Accessible India Campaign – Open Session on how Individuals sensitize Corporates on Accessibility
As part of BGFI’s January session we invite you to join us for a healthy discussion on “Accessible India Campaign”.
What could be a better way to usher in the year 2016 than being a part of an Open Session on how individuals sensitize corporates on
accessibility?
How often have you been disappointed with organizations and government for being insensitive towards your accessibility needs?
How often did you feel hopeful whenever somebody moved ahead towards breaking those barriers?
How often did you feel like playing your role as an individual to sensitize organizations and contribute towards making the environment accessible for yourself?
If your answer to any of the above question is yes, the upcoming BGFI session is for you. Please join Sagar Soda for an open discussion on how an individual can make corporates make their products and services accessible for the blind. We also have a special session on using “Accessible India Campaign”, a mobile app that was launched by the Indian Government on World Disable Day this year to make India
accessible for PWD.

It’s an open session, so special invitation for those who have experience in dealing with corporate and government officials in
making the environment accessible. The expertise towards sensitizing corporates through business cases, technical know-how, legal policies, and other smart techniques is what you can look for in this session.
