WORLD DISABLED DAY 3-8TH DEC. 2008

Dear All

It is the fact that Poverty, Disability and Development are the cause and consequence of each other and further enhances the vulnerability.

Chetana took interest in organizing the event both at Institute and Community. It has used the channel of presentations, discussion, rallies, cultural and exhibition for disseminating the informational in respect of:  

• causes and consequences of disabilities
• need of early identification & interventions, 
• Acts & Policies on Disability,
• Schemes & Benefits,
• Employment & Livelihood Activities,
• Need of Networking & Capacity Building and 
• Measures for the Prevention of Disabilities.

In addition to the process of empowerment of the children with disabilities, focus was made on the prevention of disabilities with the aim of creating "Disability Free Society (DFS)".

The event was covered in the media and could reach the stakeholders both directly and indirectly. 

Chetan feels proud to have such response for the cause of disability.
