Sangareddy: Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad (IIT-H) in collaboration with Youth4jobs and Kotak Mahindra Bank developed Swarajability, a unique platform created for the benefit of persons with disabilities like hearing impairment, visual impairment, and locomotive disorders.

Principal Scientific Advisor Prof Vijaya Raghavan has inaugurated Swarajability, which is India’s first Artificial Intelligence triggered job platform for the disabled. The platform will analyse the available information and suggest the required training needed for the concerned jobseeker. It has been developed for both web and mobile versions for the maximum reach of the initiative. For this high-impact and important project, different organisations with different competencies have come together.

While IIT Hyderabad (IITH) gives its expertise for the AI component; Visual Quest India is the developer and Youth4Jobs brings its rich experience in skilling, disability, and job linkages. The project is funded by Kotak Mahindra Bank. There are 21 million persons with disabilities in India. Over 70 percent of them were unemployed/underemployed. The Right to PwD Act 2016 for the first time highlights the right of a person with a disability (PwD) to education and employment. This provides an opportunity for PwDs to get skilled and linked to jobs.

However, one major challenge they face is that most of the existing platforms are inaccessible and not customised to the special needs of persons with disabilities. The importance of creating this platform is if the country is to meet its demographic dividend, the most vulnerable, like youth with disabilities, should be skilled and linked to sustainable opportunities. Technology can facilitate this and ensure that no one is left behind.
