Ramp, stairlift make Napier Museum in Thiruvananthapuram disabled friendly

The Napier Museum in Thiruvananthapuram has become more accessible for people with disabilities through the installation of a ramp and a stairlift, initiated by the Minister for Museums and Zoo, O.J. Janeesh. These modifications allow easier access to the Museum auditorium, which is located on the first floor of the building housing the KCS Panicker Art Gallery. Previously, individuals with mobility challenges could not attend programs held there. The stairlift was funded using ₹9 lakh from the Museum Plan funds, while a ramp and handrails were added at the 3D theatre and Natural History Museum at a total cost of approximately ₹6.7 lakh. The event included activities related to International Tiger Day organized by Wildframes, and Minister for Health K. Muraleedharan emphasized the importance of maintaining public facilities.
