Accessibility Statement

Draft policy for Chandan Charitable Trust. Published under Trustee Gate 4 review.

1. Our Commitment to Equal Access

Chandan Charitable Trust (ચંદન ચેરીટેબલ ટ્રસ્ટ) is committed to providing a digital citizen-assistance platform that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability, age, technology, or connection speed. We believe that public welfare guidance should be clearly understandable and accessible to every individual and family in Gujarat and across India.

2. Conformance Standard: WCAG 2.1 Level AA

To ensure an inclusive experience, our platform is developed in adherence with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines define how to make web content accessible to people with a broad range of visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments.

3. Accessibility Features Implemented

We incorporate the following accessibility features across the platform:

High-Contrast Visual Hierarchy: Our brand palette uses disciplined, nature-inspired tones—Forest (#2C5F2D), Emerald (#046307), Gold (#C9A96E), and Cream (#F5E6D3)—engineered to exceed standard 4.5:1 contrast ratios against light backgrounds for comfortable readability.
Full Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, including search filters, dropdowns, form controls, and scheme links, are fully operable using a keyboard with clear, high-visibility focus indicators.
Semantic Landmarks & Structure: Web pages are structured using standard HTML5 landmarks (<header>, <main>, <nav>, <footer>) and a strict, logical heading hierarchy to aid screen-reader navigation.
Skip to Content Link: A direct skip-link is provided at the very top of each page so keyboard and assistive-technology users can bypass navigation headers directly to the main content.
Reduced Motion Support: The site respects the operating system's prefers-reduced-motion preference, disabling unnecessary transitions or movement.
Text Resizing & Responsive Layout: Content scales gracefully up to 200% zoom without loss of content or horizontal scroll clutter, supporting mobile devices and low-resolution monitors.
Plain Language & Vernacular Titles: Complex statutory jargon is translated into clear, step-by-step procedural guides, accompanied by Gujarati scheme titles (ગુજરાતી શીર્ષકો) for cultural clarity.
