You actually described things as demanded in 2 to 3 lines. Brilliant!

  If you are facing any digital accessibility issues like unlabeled buttons, 
inaccessible captcha, image without Alt Text and video without audio 
description etc, If you are facing any infrastructure accessibility issues like 
no ramp, no lift and no tactile path etc and if you are facing accessibility 
issues in transport like no accessible way in enter in bus, you can register 
complaints.

    Great indeed!

    I just checked the app, as stated previously, installed the app after 
seeing your consistent mails on other day.
    If possible, could you tell in a sentence or 2 what type of accessibility 
complaints about apps can we make through this application? there are 3 
catagories for this, I checked briefly. could you please shed some light?

      I have noted your feedback and forward to relevant people. Earlier this 
app itself was inaccessible.Let me make it clear:
      I am a student with visual impairment (blind). I do not work for any 
Sugamya Bharat MOU partner nor am I associated with the Sugamya Bharat Team. 
Yet, for the last more than  2 years, I’ve been consistently working to make 
the Sugamya Bharat App accessible for Persons with Disabilities.
      Ironically, the app — developed in 2020 by the Department of Empowerment 
of Persons with Disabilities to address accessibility issues in infrastructure, 
digital services, and transport — remains inaccessible in 2023.
      To push for change, I’ve:
      • Made 50+ posts on Twitter/X
      • Spoke about it on CH20’s G20 program
      • Highlighted it in the Lokmat newspaper
      • Sent multiple emails
      • Gave the app a lower Play Store rating
      • Engaged with the app’s original developers
      • Registered complaints on the eDistrict portal
      • Informed and mobilized friends to raise their voices on Twitter/X
      I even called Shri Rajesh Aggarwal sir (Secretary, DEPwD), who assured 
that an MOU would be signed to address the issue. This was just before the 
Radio Udaan Convention last year. He confirmed the same during the event, 
citing heavy complaints on Twitter/X.
      I shared the MOU update widely. But even after it was signed, improvement 
stalled. I continued to put pressure — and now, finally, things are slowly 
improving.
      No one has raised this issue more consistently than me. Check my efforts 
on my X (twitter) account(User Name @Sugamyata).
      This journey isn’t about credit. It’s about accountability, 
accessibility, and real change.
      Let's keep going until #SugamyaBharat is truly Sugamya (accessible) for 
all. 💪♿

completely tried it to raise a complain. We live in a world of paradox and irony

        Hello accessindia,

        The sugamya bharat website is inaccessible in its entry gate where 
there is an image CAPTCHA. also there is no link for new registration. it is 
good to know that the website itself inaccessible for blind and claiming 
sugamyata for others!

        A darkness beneath the lamp.

        As per the mandate of RPD act and rules their website must equally be 
accessible. first they should make their website accessible then claim 
accessibility for others.


        Bhawani
