Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 11/11/26

The Central Academy for State Forest Service (CASFOS), Coimbatore wants the CASFOS Portal to be usable by everyone, including people who use screen readers, keyboards instead of a mouse, or magnification. The target is conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, as required by the Guidelines for Indian Government Websites (GIGW 3.0).

Current status

The portal partially conforms to WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This statement is based on the Academy's own review. It has not yet been checked by an independent accessibility auditor, and the review was last updated on 11/11/26.

What is in place

  • The language of every page is declared, and every page has its own descriptive title.
  • A “Skip to main content” link is the first thing a keyboard or screen-reader user reaches.
  • Interactive controls can be reached and used with the keyboard, and show a clear focus outline.
  • Sign-in, password and security-question forms have labels, and errors are announced to screen readers.
  • The header search, notifications and the main confirmation pop-ups can be operated from the keyboard.
  • Most images that carry meaning have text alternatives, and many buttons that show only an icon have a spoken name.

Known limitations

These are being worked on and are not yet fully accessible:

  • A number of form fields and icon-only buttons in less-used screens still lack a descriptive label.
  • Text and background colour contrast has not yet been checked on every screen.
  • Some pop-up windows do not yet keep keyboard focus inside them or return it when closed.
  • Some elements that respond to a mouse click cannot yet be operated from the keyboard.
  • Reports and certificates generated as PDF or spreadsheet files may not be fully accessible to assistive technology.

Tell us about a problem

If you cannot use part of the portal, or need information in another form, please tell us using the Contact page. Say which page you were on, what you were trying to do, and what assistive technology (if any) you use. We will try to give you the information or service another way while the problem is fixed.
