Introducing Mera Mitra

Introducing Mera Mitra ,   A chatbot for all your disability-information needs Here at Friends for Inclusion we are extremely happy to introduce Mera Mitra – India’s first chatbot to give you all the answers on disability.

Got a question related to disability in India? Just say (or type) “OK Google, talk to Mera Mitra” in the Google Assistant and you will get all the answers such as

  •  Ask a question related to RPWD Act 2016 or read a section, for example “section 28”.
  •  Know more about concepts related to disabilities such as assistive technology and accessibility
  •  And much more, including important disability related dates such as “when is World Disability Day?”

Basically, everything about disability you always wanted to ask but never knew whom to ask or do not have access to people who can provide you the answers in a simple language.

The chatbot is an invaluable resource for persons with disability, disability advocacy groups, organizations working in this field, employers, and for every one of those who has a friend, family or a colleague with disability.

Here is an introductory video on the Mera Mitra chatbot.
