Installation of 6 Accessible Sign Boards in St. Xavier's College, Maitighar for In-door Navigation

We have installed 6 accessible sign boards in different parts of our college that would indicate Female and Male Toilets, Lift, Stairs, Canteen and Resource Center for Accessible Facilities. These sign boards contains braille and QR code that would give guided audio description for in-door navigation to persons with visual disabilities.

One can scan the QR code by using our QR scanner of Chain For Change app or camera of the mobile phone to get guided description to any of the 6 location mentioned in the accessible signboards installed at the college. We are testing the efficacy of the accessible signboards and as we advance, we will keep it in all the location as per the request and support from the college. It has been design by our Intern Architect for Accessibility 2023/24 Ms. Valeria Müller Tofiño. All the 6 accessible signboards are generously supported by Mr. Saren Khadgi to the project.
