A Landmark Step Towards Inclusive & Dignified Travel
In a life-changing move for Persons with blindness, #DEPwD and the Ministry of Railways have signed a historic Memorandum of Understanding.
👉 The UDID Card will now be accepted as a valid document for availing railway travel concessions by persons with blindness.
This will be enabled through API-based integration of the UDID database of persons with blindness ( one of the categories under visual impairment) with the Railway ticketing system, ensuring:
✔️ Seamless digital verification
✔️ No repeated paperwork
✔️ Faster, hassle-free booking
✔️ A more dignified travel experience
This is not just a policy reform—
it is a promise of accessibility, independence, and equal opportunity.
One Card. One Identity. Unlimited Mobility.

मैं जब कॉलेज में थी, तब पापा ने मुझे कार चलाने के लिए दी। एक दिन बड़ा एक्सीडेंट हो गया। मैं डर गई और मुझे दुबारा कार को हाथ लगाने से डर लगने लगा। तब पापा ने कहा कि जीवन में दुर्घटनाएँ होती रहती हैं, डरकर रुकना नहीं है। आप रास्ते पर चलना नहीं छोड़ सकती।
आज उनकी वही सीख फिर याद आ रही है। कल फिर एक दुर्घटना हुई, लेकिन मैं दिल्लीवासियों के हितों के लिए लड़ना कभी नहीं छोड़ सकती। मेरे जीवन का हर क्षण और शरीर का हर कण दिल्ली के नाम है। मैं इन सभी अप्रत्याशित प्रहारों के बावजूद दिल्ली का साथ कभी नहीं छोड़ूँगी।
वैसे भी, महिलाओं में तकलीफों से लड़ने की दोहरी ताक़त होती है। उन्हें अपने आप को साबित करने के लिए अनगिनत परीक्षाएँ देनी पड़ती हैं। मैं भी तैयार हूँ!
अब जनसुनवाई केवल मेरे घर पर ही नहीं, दिल्ली की हर विधानसभा में होगी। आपकी मुख्यमंत्री, आपके द्वार।
“बाधाएं आती हैं आएं,
घिरें प्रलय की घोर घटाएं,
पांवों के नीचे अंगारे,
सिर पर बरसें यदि ज्वालाएं,
निज हाथों से हंसते-हंसते,
आग लगाकर जलना होगा,
कदम मिलाकर चलना होगा”
