Don't DIS My ABILITY

College is the first place where

students encounter people with disabilities. Students often have a soft corner

for them and they tend to help them in navigation and other chores as a social

responsibility. But in this process we often forget to give them emotional

support. More than out pity they need our support; they need to have a normal

life like all of us.Â

Anuthi Welfare Society with its tagline Don't

Dis My Ability is spreading some message among students. They envision a change

in the mindset of people regarding disabilities, their campaign is about

changing the misconceptions surrounding disability and creating an environment

that encourages the disabled for participation in leisure pursuits and social

activities. Giving them the necessary motivation towards education and helping

them build the good personality by making the entire process enjoyable.

Â

In a one of its kind initiative,

Mumbai University is organizing a Marathon in association with Anuthi Welfare

Society for all college students in order to raise funds for the visually

impaired. The Kalina Campus of University Mumbai does not have a center for the

visually challenged students. The intention is to start a center specially

designed for them equipped with Mountbatten Brailler, computers, magnifying

machines, computer accessories, etc.Â

The Run will be conducted from Nariman point to Haji Ali. (7 Km) The turnout of

the students is expected to be around 10,000. The registrations have already

started for the same at every college in Mumbai;
