Our Commitment to Accessibility
Accessibility is a human and fundamental right, essential to living independently and equally and participating fully in all aspects of life. While accessibility is often discussed in relation to persons with disabilities, it benefits everyone—from parents with strollers and elderly people to someone with a temporary injury or pregnant women. Yet, many buildings and environments remain inaccessible, making it difficult for people to access essential services, workplaces, and public facilities.
At CBM India, as an empaneled access auditor under the ‘Accessible India Campaign’ (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan) by the Government of India, we work towards breaking down these barriers through our accessibility audit services so that everyone can navigate the world with dignity and ease.
How We Do It
Our team conducts detailed assessments of physical spaces across various sectors, such as offices, government buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. These audits help identify obstacles to access and provide practical recommendations to make spaces more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.
In the past, we have conducted access audits of the following spaces.
Educational Institutions
Corporate Workplaces
Hospitals and Health Facilities
Public Buildings and Transport
Voices of Change
The true value of accessibility can be seen in the everyday experiences of
people. Here are some of their stories.
“Before our vision center was made accessible, we would always have to help persons with disabilities and elderly people to enter the building, even if family members were accompanying them. Now we’re so happy when we see the same people coming to the center and using the facilities independently!

“I recently visited Silver Jubilee Building, Mudhole for eye treatment. I was glad to find that I could move around independently, climb stairs, and navigate the premises without any assistance. The hospital’s thoughtful design, including wheelchair ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms, has made a significant difference in my experience. I no longer feel hesitant to visit the hospital alone, knowing that I can move around comfortably
