As we wrap up 2024, we love to share our year with you. The year 2024 was filled with many fresh beginnings for us, with the highlight being the Divyangjan Sahayak Desk. We initiated India’s first railway station helpdesks to assist people with disability at New Delhi and Nizamuddin Railway stations in January 2024 under the CSR Initiative Seeing is Believing by Standard Chartered in association with EnAble India and Northern Railway. Later in August, the Desk at Anand Vihar and Gurgaon became operational. To date, the desks have assisted 9419 people with disability, patients travelling for treatment and people with old age to board trains with dignity. The immense support and appreciation that we have received for this project is overwhelming.  Pancham Cajla Shakti S Cajla

As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on a year filled with meaningful milestones. We are eager to share one initiative that has truly touched hearts and opened doors: the introduction of Braille menu cards in over 270 restaurants across India. This project, in collaboration with Young Indians, has been more than just a project—it has been a step toward creating a world where inclusivity is not just an idea but a reality. For individuals with visual disabilities, dining out now comes with the dignity of choice and the joy of independence. But this initiative goes beyond just providing Braille menus. It fosters empathy, raising public awareness about visual impairments and the daily challenges faced by those with visual disabilities. Restaurants have become spaces where staff members are sensitized, where small but profound acts of inclusion create an atmosphere of understanding and warmth. We are immensely gratified to see the ripples of change this initiative has created. It reminds us that even the smallest efforts can have a lasting impact, turning everyday experiences into moments of empowerment and equality. Here’s to a year of inclusion and many more milestones in the future. Together, let’s continue to build a world where everyone belongs.

"Empowering Inclusion: Celebrating International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2024" ⭐International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is observed on December 3rd every year, aiming to promote the rights and well-being of individuals with disabilities in all areas of society. ⭐Established by the United Nations in 1992, the day raises awareness about the challenges faced by persons with disabilities and advocates for their inclusion in every aspect of life. It encourages governments, organizations, and individuals to take actions that empower people with disabilities, ensuring they have equal access to education, employment, healthcare, and other essential services. ⭐The theme for each year highlights key areas of focus, urging global communities to work together for a more inclusive and accessible world. "2024 Theme: Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future" ⭐The leadership of persons with disabilities is epitomized by the global disability rights movement’s slogan “Nothing About Us Without Us”. ⭐It connotes the basic requirements of participation, representation and inclusion and calls for persons with disabilities to actively shape the conditions of their lives. ⭐One of the priorities of the global disability agenda is to advance the agency and leadership of persons with disabilities. In the past decades, persons with disabilities and organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs) have already championed for the changes in their communities, and have been leading many of the community-led initiatives not only to advance their own rights, and wellbeing but also promoting inclusive development for instance enabling universal access to basic services by all. #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities #inclusion #InclusionMatters #PwD #DisabilityAwareness #Accessibility #Empowerment #DisabilityRights #InclusionMatters #DiversityAndInclusion #PwD #BreakingBarriers #SocialImpact #InclusiveWorkplace #DisabilityAdvocacy #UNDay

The Alipore Jail Museum, a significant landmark commemorating India’s freedom fighters, has taken an inspiring step toward inclusivity. Known for its rich displays of paintings, photographs, maps, installations, and statues that honor the nation’s heroes, the museum recently embraced accessibility with the installation of a Braille map, Braille signage, Railing Indicators, Ramps and Sign Language video along with braille booklets that provides an entire layout of the place. This initiative, undertaken by the CII youth wing Young Indians (Yi), highlights a commitment to ensuring that history is accessible to all. The project’s implementation partner, Anuprayaas from Chandigarh, brought expertise and dedication to this transformation. By making this iconic space barrier-free, the Alipore Jail Museum stands as an example of how inclusivity and cultural preservation can go hand in hand. This initiative not only honors the legacy of freedom fighters but also empowers individuals with disabilities to experience history without barriers.
