Historic Win for Disability Rights in India 🇮🇳❤️

On April 30, 2025, the Supreme Court ruled that Digital Access is a Fundamental Right under the Right to Life.

This came after Pragya Prasun’s petition highlighting the exclusion of acid attack survivors, visually impaired, elderly, and those with facial disfigurements from digital services like eKYC.

The Court issued 20+ directions to make KYC, fintech, and digital platforms inclusive for all.
India is now setting GOLD standards in disability inclusion. 💛

This is how change happens. This is disability justice.

Thank you for all your support !!!
