My dream for India is to create an environment where every
child, irrespective of his/her economic status -- rich or poor -- will have
access to quality education. A charitable trust empowering those with permanent
disabilities I am hoping that this year of the Nation's independence will also
mean the independence of its people with disabilities. In India, everything has
a value, even a piece of plastic thrown on the road will be picked up. But what
about human life and dignity? For a large part, people with disabilities are
completely ignored or rejected, living as dependents`, unable to be really
active and lead meaningful lives.
Wheelchair accessibility, government support and medical insurance are
issues that need to be addressed today. I really hope the country takes this
new wave of change, from apathy and indifference, towards something that is
more proactive, so we can make the world a little less difficult for people
with physical challenges. Millions of people in our country are suffering from
some form of disability. A wheelchair cannot solve all their problems. I urge
the IT-Professionals and the best brains of the country to come together and demand the
government to start a research center that will develop gadgets that are
user-friendly and affordable also to the economically backward. We need to
empower them and make them independent too. I would also like the youth to say
no to corruption and find innovative ways to solve problems than run away to
another country and give excuses.
