Accessibility statement
The Kerala Institute of Local Administration (KILA) is committed to making this platform usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, magnification or keyboard-only navigation. We target WCAG 2.1 level AA and the Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW).
Measures we take
- Semantic headings and landmarks, with a skip-to-content link on every page.
- Full keyboard operability, including menus, dialogs, tables and the language switcher.
- Visible focus indicators and form labels associated with every input.
- Text and interface colours meeting a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 against their background.
- Performance bands conveyed by label and rank as well as colour, so meaning never depends on colour alone.
- Content available in English, Hindi and Gujarati with self-hosted fonts covering all three scripts.
- Responsive layouts that reflow to 320 px width and support browser zoom to 200% without loss of content.
Known limitations
- The interactive map is a visual aid; the same figures are available as accessible tables on the Rankings page and as CSV downloads on the Open data page.
- Some evidence documents uploaded by reporting entities are scanned PDFs and may not be fully machine readable. Contact the helpdesk for an accessible copy.
