God himself proved, since the time of the Mahabharata, that people with vision impairments are not insufficient. What makes the difference is how society communicates and supports people with disabilities.

I have personally visited and even for me the climbed was tough! Also a wheelchair user came downstairs and they had to go down once they found out!

Please visit the video, like, comment and subscribe with your opinions. It is also critical to share this video on all your social media platforms so that there is some noise around it; tag relevant people so that some attention is gathered. This video is about the Office of the Disability Commissioner in Chandigarh. I found the details quite surprising, and I think they highlight a major problem. Any corrections to this summary are welcome as it was AI-generated. The video revealed that the office, which is meant to ensure rights and accessibility for people with disabilities, is paradoxically located on the first floor of a building with no ramp or lift. This makes it completely inaccessible to the very people it serves. Furthermore, the Commissioner, Ms. Madhvi Kataria, stated that she's a "one-woman army," operating with just one part-time clerk and without a proper budget or signboard. This situation points to a serious lack of administrative support and a broader issue of indifference towards the office's core mission. I wanted to share this with the group because it's an important reminder of the gap between policy and on-the-ground reality when it comes to accessibility and disability rights. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Radio Udaan Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2025 9:08 PM To: accessindia <[email protected]> Subject: [AI] "Surprising Truth: How the Office of Disability Commissioner Chandigarh is Run by Ms. Madhvi Kataria" "Surprising Truth: How the Office of Disability Commissioner Chandigarh is Run by Ms. Madhvi Kataria" 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPcFvGKCwA8 -- Disclaimer: 1.
