AAROHAN WELFARE SOCIETY

Who we are...?

It is interesting to note that according to WHO’s 2013 report; around 15% of world’s population has some type of disability. In contrast, India’s figure of 2.21% indicates that India’s definition of disability is leaving lot of person with disabilities out of its ambit. The problem lies in the fact, the way society has been built to cater to only ‘normal’ circumstances. Most of us ignore these situations in our lives as a temporary phase but for persons with disabilities, these situations are part of everyday life. People with disabilities in their own country are made to feel like strangers. The society is built in such a way that it alienates people with disabilities. It is therefore, not the impairment, but the disabling environment that makes people dependent. With little effort and care, even people with disabilities can lead a life as comfortable and productive as their non-disabled counterparts. This could not be done only by govt sector. Public as well as private sector has to join hands to improve the situation.
