Map Accessibility - Kolkata
Kolkata
Kolkata, West Bengal, India
August 11, 2020 @ 10:00 (IST)
Hello Local Guides! I am going to arrange the first accessible meet up in Kolkata. This one will be started from an Education and Research Institute in Kolkata (IISER Kolkata). As the specially-abled students need information about accessibility in Educational Institutes, which can make their life easier. The main target of this meet up is to find the wheelchair-accessible entrance, toilets, lift, parking lot, hostels, classrooms, canteen in the institute and update them in Google maps. Join me in the meetup to update accessibility status in Kolkata. Please note- 1) All COVID-19 protocols will be followed during the meetup. So bring your own mask, sanitizer. 2) Bring your own water bottle, umbrella as it is sunny outside, as well as rain is also expected. Thanks and Regards, Pritish

This is a nice initiative, my friend.
Your banner photo shows there are already accessibility features like a ramp and a railing, so good selection 
Make sure you mark both good 
and bad 
accessibility features in the POI.
Wish you all the best. @PritishB

Thank you @TusharSuradkar dada. Your work has inspired me a lot. And your photos in recaps easily helps one to identify accessibility status. I will surely try to follow your words. Have a great day!

If you’d like - you can too stamp the photos with the accessibility icon along with the pass and fail icons.
I can share the PNG files with you if you decide to use this technique @PritishB

Are you going to telecast your visit via LIVE video on that day?
Is any other local guide joining you in Kolkata?

yes, @TusharSuradkar dada I have thought to do so. Pattanaik dada from Kolkata and Kashif vai from Pakistan will join. It will be great to have you virtually in this meetup (and definitely physically in the near future).
Hi, @PritishB I mean since you are conducting this meetup live from Kolkata, who else in Kolkata will be present with you at the venue.
Kashif is from Pakistan, right?
