In my opinion 'The Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) is currently seeking public consultation on draft accessibility standards for the public sector mainly the "PRODUCTS" sector. These standards aim to ensure barrier-free environments in line with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. Stakeholders are invited to review the draft standards. The draft standards focus on non-negotiable rules for various aspects of accessibility, including physical, sensory, cognitive, and digital elements. 1.Physical/Ergonomic: This is very easy-to-open packaging with large print. Very important for tactile markings and ergonomic designs. 2.Sensory:,It has High contrast, Braille, audible/visual feedback. 3.Cognitive/Communication: Plain language, pictograms, accessible documentation. Digital/Web: QR codes, compliance with standards, accessible e-commerce. 4.Regulatory/Usability: Compliance with ISO and BIS standards, universal design.

Subject: Proposal for a New Police Fine System ​Dear Sir, ​I am writing to propose a new system for managing police fines, inspired by practices in other countries. ​Currently, fines are often paid directly on the spot to a police officer. My suggestion is to shift this process entirely to an online payment system. Under this new model, officers would issue a citation, but the fine would be paid exclusively online. There would be a clear policy stating that citizens are not required to pay fines to an officer at the time of the incident. ​I believe this change would improve transparency, reduce the potential for corruption, and increase convenience for everyone involved. ​Thank you for your time and consideration.

1. Promote Inclusivity – Ensure that all product standards mandatorily include accessibility features for Divyangjan, elderly citizens, and children. 2. Global Benchmarking – Align Indian product standards with international norms so that Made in India becomes a mark of trust worldwide. 3. Ease for Startups & MSMEs – Simplify compliance so that small businesses can also adopt these standards without heavy costs. 4. Digital Accessibility – Along with physical products, draft guidelines should focus on digital products and services (apps, websites, fintech, e-commerce). 5. Consumer Awareness – Launch a national campaign under Modi Ji’s leadership to educate people on the importance of using certified standard products. 6. Innovation & Research Support – Provide incentives for companies that develop accessible, eco-friendly, and inclusive products. 7. Public Participation – Invite feedback from citizens, industry experts, and NGOs before finalizing the draft, reflecting Modiji

Subject: Suggestions on Draft Accessibility Standards for the Products Sector Respected Sir/Madam, I warmly welcome the initiative of the Ministry to prepare Draft Accessibility Standards for the Products Sector. This is a timely and progressive step that will ensure equal access, dignity, and independence for persons with disabilities (PwDs). By addressing accessibility at the product design stage, we will not only promote inclusivity but also align with India’s vision of Sugamya Bharat (Accessible India). Persons with disabilities often encounter barriers that limit their independence in daily life. Many of these barriers arise not from the disability itself but from the lack of accessibility in products and services. With this in mind, I would like to humbly place the following suggestions for consideration: --- 1. Mandatory Braille Labels on Essential Products For individuals with visual impairments, identifying products like medicines, packaged food items, and household ess

Accessibility standards should make it mandatory for all products (mobiles, ATMs, websites, household appliances) to have voice assistance, tactile buttons, and high-contrast displays. Clear pictorial instructions in multiple Indian languages should be provided with every product to ensure persons with visual, hearing, and cognitive disabilities can use them independently.
