Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences in Kothamangalam is making strides in creating a more accessible environment.
The institution recognizes the importance of inclusivity, and this is reflected in its efforts to establish a disabled-friendly, barrier-free campus.
This includes provisions for physical accessibility, such as ramps and lifts for ease of movement, and Divyangjan-friendly washrooms.
Furthermore, the institute is working to ensure informational accessibility through clear signage, including tactile paths and appropriate lighting, which are vital for students with visual impairments.
In addition to physical adaptations, the institute is also focusing on technological accessibility by providing assistive technologies like accessible websites and screen-reading software.
The provision of human assistance, readers, scribes, and soft copies of reading materials further demonstrates a commitment to supporting diverse learning needs.
These combined efforts aim to provide a comprehensive and supportive educational experience for all students.
