As a local guide, we are passionate about promoting accessibility on Google Maps & Connect. Through every celebration, we promote accessibility such as wheelchair day , braille day 
, sign language day 
and cognitive day 
in our community with regular updates on accessibility which can be useful for our future contributions.
Inspiring Accessibility Contributions 
We are constantly inspired by our fellow local guides that are taking action to make our world more inclusive.
Read on how @TusharSuradkar and other local guides 
conducted a meetup for adding local businesses by persons with disabilities. This inspiring meetups ensures us to contribute and support small entrepreneurship and inclusivity.
Another prime example is how @AjitThite conducted a meetup highlighting Accessibility at Pune Airport 
. He took time to showcase and highlight various accessibility features which helps travellers with disabilities navigate the airport with confidence.
Check out how @TravellerG conducted an Accessibility Meetup with @JollyTakshan at Kochi, showcasing and promoting accessibility. Navigating the path with others helps us understand real world challenges better.
