I-Stem Partners with the Government to Enhance the Sugamya Bharat App

I-Stem has recently joined forces with the Department of Disability Affairs, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India along with our partners Mission Accessibility and national Association for the Blind Delhi. This partnership involves a significant upgrade of the Sugamya Bharat app, a vital tool launched as part of the Accessibility India Campaign in 2014.

The upgrade of the Sugamya Bharat app will introduce several new features aimed at improving the experience for over 20 million users nationwide:

• Intuitive User Interface: The app will feature an enhanced interface that is easy to navigate for users with various disabilities.

• AI-Powered Chatbot: Leveraging artificial intelligence, the chatbot will provide customized responses to queries regarding disability rights, services, and government schemes, converting any inaccessible content into accessible and usable formats.

• Targeted Notifications: The app will include a system to send personalized notifications about job opportunities, educational programs, and more, directly to the users

This initiative represents a step forward in addressing the need for accessible digital tools that empower individuals with disabilities, facilitating better access to information and services. It is a movement towards eliminating barriers and enhancing participation in social, economic, and public domains. It also underscores the commitment to building a more inclusive society through technological advancements. It highlights the ongoing efforts to ensure that every individual has the tools they need to thrive in today’s world.
