New Delhi: The central government has issued guidelines for provision of facilities in cinema theaters for the visually and hearing impaired. The guidelines also state that technical systems such as audio description and captions should be prepared for them.
From January 2025 onwards, films sent to the National Film Awards and the Goa International Film Festival have also been directed to comply with these standards. The guidelines are in accordance with the provisions of the Rights of Persons and Disabilities Act, 2016.
