Policy status
Last updated: 12 June 2026. This page should be read with the Terms of Use and Disclaimer.
Accessibility target
The website is being developed toward WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Generated pages use semantic headings, landmarks, labelled navigation, keyboard focus indicators, table captions and source-based text that remains available without JavaScript.
Assistive technology support
The intended reading and navigation experience includes screen readers, keyboard-only use, browser zoom, text enlargement, high-contrast settings and reduced-motion preferences.
Local testing should include NVDA with Chrome or Firefox on Windows and TalkBack with Chrome on Android. VoiceOver with Safari is also useful when available.
Listen to page summaries
Standard pages provide an optional Read summary control when the browser exposes a compatible built-in speech service. The summary uses selected visible page content and skips navigation, forms, long tables, advertisements, FAQs and the footer.
Speech starts only after the user chooses Read summary. Pause, resume, stop and reading-speed controls are provided. The speech behavior file is loaded only after that first interaction.
- No audio file is downloaded from this website
- Page text is not sent by this website to an external speech service
- Available voices and pronunciation depend on the browser, operating system and installed language voices
- The control is omitted when the browser does not provide the required speech API
Read-aloud and screen readers
The optional read-aloud control is not a replacement for a screen reader. People using NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack or another assistive technology can continue to navigate headings, landmarks, links, forms and tables normally.
Read-aloud never starts automatically because simultaneous website speech and screen-reader speech can be confusing.
Known limitations
Large multi-column Census tables may require horizontal scrolling on narrow screens. They retain table semantics and include screen-reader instructions. Search suggestions depend on JavaScript, but the search form still links to the normal search page.
Accessibility testing is ongoing across generated state pages. A page may still contain an issue that automated tools do not detect.
Keyboard use
Use the Skip to main content link to bypass repeated navigation. The mobile menu supports Escape and returns focus to the menu button. Search suggestions support Up Arrow, Down Arrow, Enter and Escape.
Report an accessibility problem
Email contact@nctdelhi.villagecodes.in with the page URL, what you were trying to do, the browser or assistive technology used, and a short description of the problem. Do not include passwords, identity documents or other sensitive information.
Review approach
Accessibility is checked with automated validation and manual keyboard testing during local development. Screen-reader testing is added for important user journeys such as village search, breadcrumb navigation, Census tables and mobile menus.
