The draft Assistive Technology Rules, 2025 provide a strong regulatory foundation, but need sharper operational details: ~specify certification timelines, ~publish the indicative device lists, ~and set clear subsidy/replacement limits. # Mandate representation of persons with disabilities and user organisations on standards and certification bodies, require accreditation and post‑fit follow‑up for service providers, and build multilingual, IVR/ISL‑enabled offline channels alongside the Assistive Technology Portal. Strengthen data‑privacy and incident‑reporting rules, and pilot phased implementation across tribal, urban poor, and disaster‑prone areas to validate low‑cost customisation and distribution before national scale‑up. Thank You Hemant Kumar Ujjwal

सिर्फ तकनीक ही नहीं, समाज का दृष्टिकोण भी बदलना जरूरी है। सहायक उपकरणों को ‘सामान्य जीवन का हिस्सा’ माना जाए, ताकि दिव्यांगजनों को किसी प्रकार की झिझक महसूस न हो। ऐसे मानक तैयार किए जाएं जो गरिमा और समान अवसर को सुनिश्चित करें। शिवम, जिला उन्नाव
