Check out the latest installation at RBI, Bangalore - an electrical self operated 'stair lift' for differently abled persons. The gradient did not allow for conventional 'run-of-the-mill' methods or measures to ensure a user friendly means of access to the Banking Hall. Such gadgets are quite common in developed countries where people have them installed in their houses so that the oldies do not have to climb stairs leading to their bedrooms and put a strain on their limbs. It is understood that this is the first installation of its type in Bangalore and only the fourth in India (the other three are in some top notch private hospital in Delhi). The cost of the 'chair' is approx Rs 3 lacs !!
Start of the "descent"
Safe landing under the watchful eye of another differently abled person !!
