Presenting news and websites for physically impaired personws

websites of the government of India are accessible to the visually impaired persons. (I dont know how)

It is decided that the prime time news on Doordarshan (India's national television channel) will soon be accessible to hearing impaired persons. While news reader is reading the news, a running scroll or sub-titles will appear at the bottom.

I have not varified either of these. Neither do I have any information on how effectively they are/will be presented for the targetted impaired people. In any case, this a creditable initiative.
