UN in India with UNESCO as technical lead, has collaborated with IIT Kharagpur to develop the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Enhancing Universal Accessibility during Cultural Festivals. The 2025 edition of the SOPs, while specifically developed for Durga Puja in West Bengal, is designed to be adaptable and scalable for all Durga Puja pandals, regardless of scale, location, or organizing body contextualized with the local-cultural-nuances without compromising on the non-negotiable accessibility standards. The aim is to embed accessibility, safety, dignity, and full participation for persons with disabilities, older persons, pregnant women, and others with access requirements into every stage of planning, management, and delivery of Durga Puja worldwide. These SOPs will serve as a benchmark for festival organizers, Puja committees, and local authorities, offering practical and implementable measures for making cultural festivals universally accessible, and thus ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can partake in these celebrations.
