Delhi's MPD-2047 Highlights Accessibility but Lacks Disability KPI in Monitoring
The Master Plan for Delhi (MPD-2047), unveiled on August 20 by the Delhi Development Authority, emphasizes barrier-free streets, universal access, and inclusive public spaces for persons with disabilities (PwDs). It mandates accessible building standards, inclusive pedestrian infrastructure, and compliance with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act. However, experts have raised concerns about the absence of a dedicated disability Key Performance Indicator (KPI) in the plan's monitoring framework, questioning accountability and the plan's effectiveness in ensuring city-wide accessibility for PwDs.
