MA’s work has 3 components: Sensitisation, Capacity Building & Grievance Redressal. Since our official founding in October 2022, we have spearheaded a large number of impactful interventions. Illustratively, we have more than 100 ongoing complaints in the court of the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities on diverse issues. We have also taken up a project called project RPwD Generation, under which we're working on 10 distinct causes, in the areas of accessibility, discrimination and strengthening the institutional framework under the RPwD Act. We are also advising a large number of authorities, such as the Department of Empowerment for Persons with Disabilities, Government of India, Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, Delhi High Court, Accessibility Committee, Supreme Court of India and the Rhodes Trust. *About the Event:* Over the past year, we have made substantial progress in all three dimensions of our work. Our Annual Event serves as an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the disability rights community and honour those who have supported our mission. Our Patron in Chief, Justice A.K. Sikri, Former Judge, Supreme Court of India, will be delivering the keynote address at the event. Notably, we will be recognising the most accessible institutions in both public and private sectors with awards for their outstanding contributions in the field of accessibility. Your presence at our event will add immense value to it, and boost our motivation to continue on our journey towards ensuring that Persons with Disabilities are able to lead dignified and full lives.
