Harmonised Guidelines and Space Standards for Barrier-Free Built Environment for persons with Disability and Elderly Persons 2016

Though a new document about accessibility standards have been released in 2021, yet we are sharing this 2016 document which is available on the website of Director, Social Defense, Government of Gujarat.

Ideally and in theory the 2016 guidelines should have been replaced or updated by the new version as it’s been 7 years, but then policies and knowledge sharing in India especially with the concerned departments takes time.

The document can be accessed on https://mohua.gov.in/ or can be downloaded here (Accessibility Standards and Guidelines) or can be viewed below
