Dear All, To combat an unprecedented time in history, we at the Blind Graduates Forum of India (BGFI), have tried our best to continue working towards our goals. We are dedicated to our mission of making individuals with visual impairments more independent through active collaborations with different stakeholders. BGFI also strongly believes that awareness is key to independence and fighting discrimination.
In that regard, We've began the year with the sessions on Preventive Cyber Protection and on RPD Act 2016. Eventually, with the lockdown, we started a series of virtual sessions like Cooking, Grooming Etiquette, Hygiene & many more. We also partnered with Big Basket to provide preferential delivery services only for PWD’S. These are a few among the many activities we did. While the world may have come to a pause and may be struggling to grapple with this unfamiliar situation, BGFI has managed to adjust rather well and forge ahead on its path to ensuring equity and equality. On this International Day of Disabled Persons, BGFI celebrates the tireless work and dedication of all our members and allies, both disabled and abled alike. It is a celebration of diversity and inclusion. It is a celebration of differences based on who we are, and not on what we look like or are able or unable to do. It is a celebration of the reimagining of infinite possibilities far beyond what our pasts have afforded us. As this year comes to a close, BGFI, ready as ever, is already gearing up for 2021. We are more committed than ever to creating awareness among the abled about the needs of the persons with disabilities. This may or may not be a hint to what we have waiting for you in the near future, under the ambit of Creating Awareness! We have in store many exciting sessions and events for advocacy and awareness that we are eagerly looking forward too. And hopefully, so are you! We also come bearing some good news!
