In a move towards enhancing accessibility and inclusivity, Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud unveiled a new 'accessibility help desk' and 'media enclosure' within the premises of the Supreme Court. 

The inauguration marks a pivotal moment in the court's commitment to ensuring equitable access to justice for all citizens, including those with special needs.

The newly inaugurated accessibility help desk, strategically located near the e-Sewa Kendra, stands as a beacon of support for individuals requiring assistance within the Supreme Court complex. 

Chief Justice Chandrachud emphasized that the establishment of this help desk is a direct result of the recommendations put forth by the committee chaired by Justice Ravindra Bhat. This committee's comprehensive report outlined various measures aimed at making the Supreme Court more accessible to individuals with diverse needs, including differently-abled individuals, senior citizens, pregnant women, and those requiring special assistance.

Speaking on the occasion, Chief Justice Chandrachud highlighted the overarching goal of the accessibility help desk as being a "one-stop facility" catering to the diverse needs of visitors to the Supreme Court. This facility is poised to streamline the process of obtaining assistance, ensuring that individuals encountering barriers to access receive prompt and effective support.

Furthermore, the inauguration of the media enclosure adjacent to the apex court's lawns underscores the court's recognition of the vital role played by the media in disseminating information and fostering transparency. 

By providing a designated space for media professionals, the Supreme Court aims to facilitate smoother interactions between the judiciary and the press, ultimately fostering greater public understanding and engagement with matters of law and justice.
