…for growth and development of persons with disabilities, Samarthyam is an important member. ….has provided valuable inputs for promoting the objective & targets of Accessible India Campaign including issue of harmonized guidelines and space standards for barrier free built environment for persons with disabilities and elderly persons by Ministry of Urban Development. The organisation is one of the empanelled agencies selected for conducting access audit of government buildings under Accessible India Campaign.

"Samarthyam has contributed greatly in focusing institutional and public authority attention to the urgency of universal design for the built environment and public transportation modes…."

Samarthyam has been doing exemplary work for persons with disabilities through a range of projects and activities. We, at Delhi Metro, are also committed to provide passengers with disabilities all possible facilities to ensure a smooth ride. I wish the organization all the best for their future endeavors.

Samarthyam has made outstanding contribution in preparing universal design of Low Floor Buses, Bus shelters and rail compartments. It is their belief that persons with disabilities as user group play a vital role in policy formulation, user friendly designs and implementation.

Samarthyam is doing wonderful work in making our built environment accessible. The team has engaged proactively with all stakeholders and is making a visible difference.

Samarthyam is a pioneer in promoting “Mobility for All” i.e. Accessible Transportation System for Persons with Disability and Elderly. It continues to march under the inspiring leadership of Anjlee Agarwal in making Indian cities inclusive in the true sense of the word. I am proud to have been closely associated with Anjlee and her colleagues. I look forward to many more years of meaningful collaboration with her team and researchers at TRIPP, IIT Delhi.

Anjlee did an amazing job in her advocacy. She took part in a discussion on follow up strategies with those Indian NGOs. She is working to ensure that once the recommendations are out that the disability movement together with the women’s rights movement can join forces to use them to their optimum in effecting change

…following the CEDAW discussion and the concluding recommendations. Your interventions have made history, this is great news

So gratifying to know that persistent advocacy by a talented disabled woman, Anjlee Agarwal in India, succeeded in removing barriers for personal assistants under restricted mobility in India in response to the Covid19 crisis!!"
