Users can easily upload geo-tagged photos of locations where accessibility barriers exist, enabling authorities to take prompt corrective action. Since its inception, the app has received a total of 2,705 complaints, of which 1,897 have been successfully resolved, reflecting the government’s commitment to creating an inclusive environment for all. The DEPwD continues to encourage public to actively participate in reporting accessibility challenges and supporting the Government’s vision of a barrier-free India.
