About NTL
70 million people in India (6% of our population) are estimated as persons with disabilities, but sadly only 2% of them have seen through School and only 1 % gainfully employed. Our ignorance of what persons with disability can and cannot do and lack of facilities that make life simpler comes as a barrier for them to live a more fruitful life; a life of dignity.
Infinite Possibilities
Nevertheless, there are millions of people worldwide who live with, battle, and are compelled to overcome their disabilities every single day of their lives. Nevertheless, they have achieved great things. Persons with disabilities are perfectly capable of making valuable contribution to society given similar facilities that mainstream society appropriates to make life convenient. Including this segment of the populace in schools and colleges not only gives a voice but opens our mind to the infinite possibilities when we learn, work and live together.
Let’s Make a Difference
If we could walk hand-in-hand, provide the same opportunities and conveniences, just as we do for ourselves, we make life less of a battle and more of a healthy challenge for all. And the cornerstone of this idea for inclusion is you and me. It is up to us to open our minds to persons with disabilities and understand them for what they are. It is up to us to look beyond disability, for what they are capable of.
A small change of perception can make a big difference in the life of persons with disability.
Join us now in an awareness campaign that sensitizes various segments of society about the realities of persons with disability and work for a community where all belong! Spread the word. Be part of the movement. Become the change. Together we make everything and everyone more able.
This journey started with a month-and-a-half long campaign which culminated in a conclave bringing together various stakeholders: organizations of persons with disabilities, NGOs, corporate, government and educational institutes to take the initiative forward as well as share cases of successful initiatives. Join us and be the difference.
