Advocacy

Celebration of disability week in collaboration with the district administration has brought the focus of the district administration for restoration of rights of disabled.

The organization spearheaded a statewide campaign on Right to Vote. We had a direct meeting with the Chief Election Commissioner who assured us that; all necessary attention will be paid to enable persons with disabilities to vote independently. However, it did not happen. As part of the direct action a PIL was filed in the Supreme Court, which has directed the Election Commission of India to implement the recommended infrastructure for the purpose.
