✅India:
The Census 2011 estimate of 2.21% of India's population being disabled is vastly understated.
✅Global: According to the World Health Organization,
approximately 16% of the global
population is disabled.
🔸If that figure is extrapolated to India, it would imply at least
192 million disabled people.
✅Smartphone users:
India had 750 million Internet/smartphone users in 2020. Using the 16% figure, this equates to approximately 120 million (12 crore) disabled Internet/smartphone users.
✅Report finding:
A report that assesses the accessibility of 10 of the most popular apps in India across five sectors. Zomato, Swiggy, PayTM, PhonePe, Amazon, Flipkart, Uber, Ola, WhatsApp, and Telegram were among the apps.
The accessibility of the apps was divided into three categories based on the quantity of violations: “high,” “medium,” and “low.”
The report discovered that five of the 10 apps fell into the medium category, while four were rated low.
