What we have done

- All features work with a keyboard alone, with a clearly visible focus indicator.
- Images have text alternatives; decorative images are hidden from assistive technology.
- Text and background colours meet a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, and a high-contrast scheme is available.
- Text can be resized up to 125% with the A+ control, and up to 200% with browser zoom, without loss of content.
- Moving content — the photo slideshow and the partner logos — can be paused, and stops automatically if your device asks for reduced motion.
- Form fields have visible labels, required fields are marked, and errors are described in text.
- Links to files state the format and size, for example “PDF, 40 KB”.
- The Hindi version of navigation and headings is available from the language control at the top of every page.
Known limitations
- Some older PDF documents and scanned press clippings are images of text. Contact us for an accessible copy.
- Videos are hosted on YouTube; captions depend on YouTube's automatic captioning.
- Hindi translation currently covers navigation and headings; full-text Hindi is in progress.
