Sans limbs, Andhra Pradesh boy dream-rolls into IIM-Ahmedabad

Dwarapudi Chandramauli, an engineer from Narsipatnam, Andhra Pradesh, overcame severe disabilities after an electrocution accident to crack CAT and get admitted to IIM-A. The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is approaching on December 3. Chandramauli's accident resulted in the amputation of his hands and legs, but he completed his LLB and worked for Amazon during the pandemic. Inspired by a friend's experience at an IIM, he prepared for CAT on his own and was elated to receive a call from IIM-A. In other news, the summer placements at IIM-A saw a variety of job roles, with consulting being the preferred sector for 35% of students. The top recruiters were Boston Consulting Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Accenture, Goldman Sachs, HUL, Mahindra, Adani, and Amazon.

Cities can but lack will to be disability-friendly

The Accessible India campaign in Gujarat's cities has remained a mixed bag in terms of making physical and digital spaces accessible to people with disabilities (PwDs). While some changes have been made after accessibility audits, compliance with universal accessibility norms is poor. A mobile app developed by Voice of Specially Abled Persons (VoSAP) provides ratings on buildings in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, and Rajkot, with only 7% receiving '5 star' facilities for PwDs. On average, 62% of buildings are inaccessible. The onus is on everyone to prioritize accessibility for all potential users, beyond PwDs.
