In order to enhance the accessibility of television programmes for the hearing impaired, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar announced the implementation of Accessibility Standard for TV Programmes for persons with hearing impairment. This will be done through the provision of captioning and Indian Sign Language.
Starting from 16th September, All news channels will carry a news bulletin with sign language interpretation at least once per day and all TV channels and service providers will run at least one programme per week with subtitles / captions.
These rules will NOT apply on Live news, live sports, live music, award shows, reality shows, live debates, advertisements.
The overall implementation of the Standards will be done in a phase wise manner in the next five years.
