Other Accessibility Features
Features incorporated in this Website to make it easily accessible are as follows:
-
Descriptive Link Text: Brief description of a link is provided
using descriptive phrases instead of just using words such as 'Read more' and 'Click
here' as link text. Further, if a link opens a Website in a new window, the description
specifies the same.
-
Identification of file type and file size: Information
about alternate file types, such as PDF, Word, Excel along with the file size has
been provided within the link text to help users identify the same. In addition,
icons for different file types have been provided with the links. This helps users
in deciding whether they wish to access the link. For example, if a link opens a
PDF file, the link text specifies its file size and file type.
-
Table Headers: The table headings are marked and associated
with their corresponding cells in each row. This enables a screen reader to read
out the column and row header of any cell for the user.
-
Headings: The Web page content is organized using appropriate
headings and subheadings that provide a readable structure. H2 indicates the main
heading, whereas H3 indicates a subheading.
-
Titles: An appropriate name for each Web page is specified
that helps you to understand the page content easily.
-
Alternate Text: Brief description of an image is provided
for users with visual disability. If you are using a browser that supports only
text or have turned off the image display, you can still know what the image is
all about by reading the alternate text in absence of an image. In addition, some
browsers display the alternate text in the form of a tooltip when the user moves
the mouse pointer over the image.
-
Explicit Form Label Association: A label is linked to its
respective control, such as text box, check box, radio button, and drop-down list.
This enables the assistive devices to identify the labels for the controls on a
form.
-
Form instructions and errors: Instruction text and error
messages for forms are displayed dynamically i.e. while the user is navigating the
form and filling up the form. To make this information available to users including
screen reader users, ARIA techniques have been used. To ensure users are able to
access this important form information, help for the same has been provided.

and style of presentation throughout the Website has been incorporated.
