The initiative, which is being carried out as part of the Accessibility India Campaign, is aimed at enhancing the proportion of accessible and usable public documents and websites that meet internationally recognised standards.

This target will ensure conversion of public documents published as of a specified year and all current websites meeting the relevant International Organization for Standardization (ISO) criteria that are found in ISO/IEC 40500 : 2012, Information Technology – W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0.

"We have asked ERNET India to engage as many number of web auditors for the purpose," the DoPwD official added.
