Persons
with disabilities are among the most marginalized section of society,
who are deprived of the basic facilities and rights. The barriers put by
the environment and the society deprives them from accessing their
basic rights of education, livelihood and a life with dignity.
In
the exclusive Job Fair planned on the 16th February 2013, all the NGO
partners , The Cheshire Disability Trust, The Samarthanam Trust,
Association of people with Disability, Vocational Rehabilitation centre
and Nasscom Foundation, have come forward jointly with Institutes and
employers to provide an equal opportunity to the persons with
disability.
However, we find there is
change in terms of ready acceptance and employability for people with
disabilities in all sectors. The one step forward is to also bring in
more organisations and employers to accept disability and individual
skills, and giving way to reasonable accommodation and work place
solutions.
Technology has also made its
mark in providing assistance to the persons with disabilities and this
awareness is very important to understand and accept that they remove
the barriers that come in the way of work performance.
A
Disability Sensitization session will be followed by the JOB FAIR , so
as to bring together all SSLC/Dip/ graduates/Engineers/post graduate
candidates who are persons with disability and the employers from all
sectors under a common stand in providing equal employment
opportunities, so as meet their livelihoods.
