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.
The road safety week is observed and aimed at
reducing the incidence of disability. The organization
along with the school children organize awareness
on prevention programe on road accidents, non-
use of helmets and seat belts as well as non-adherence
to rules and regulations which results death.
National workshop on “Disability and Law”
was conducted in collaboration with National Center
for Promotion of Employment for the Disabled People
and Human Rights Law Network.
National Abilympic was organized in Delhi during
26th to 30th Nov. 2002. 5 disabled were selected
for the international abilympic.
