A tool to assess the accessibility compliance of public buildings and spaces, generate a current rating, and provide a roadmap for continuous improvement.
The Samarth Accessibility Metric (SAM) is India's first comprehensive assessment and rating system designed to evaluate and standardise accessibility in built environments and public spaces. Launched under the "Samarth by Hyundai" initiative in partnership with Samarthyam (Centre for Universal Accessibility) and the Times Network, SAM provides a structured roadmap for organisations to move beyond basic compliance toward true universal design.
SAM is a pioneering framework developed to measure, monitor, and improve accessibility standards across India. Aligned with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, SAM serves as a credible benchmark for infrastructure — ensuring public and private spaces are inclusive, safe, and navigable for everyone, including Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) and senior citizens.
SAM shifts the focus from "intent" to "implementation," offering a data-driven approach to identify barriers and a clear, tiered recognition system to celebrate progress.
SAM is designed for stakeholders committed to the Accessible India Campaign:

Note: the Gold & Platinum scoring rules are still under review by Samarthyam. Until they're finalised, your selections here are saved with the Silver answers under the same Job-ID — they do not yet influence the rating tier shown on the dashboard.
