Research Project on Exploring Social Participation

The School of Education, in collaboration with the Sociwind Foundation, proudly announces the successful completion of a groundbreaking research project on Exploring Social Participation and Community Integration for People with Disabilities in India. This initiative aimed to identify and bridge gaps hindering the full inclusion of differently-abled individuals in society. By addressing critical issues like accessibility, stigma, and policy inadequacies, the project highlights the urgent need for systemic change. Through comprehensive training, immersive fieldwork, and reflective post-visit activities, student-teachers not only gathered valuable data but also experienced profound personal and professional growth. They developed enhanced communication skills, a deeper understanding of inclusivity, and a heightened sensitivity towards the needs of individuals with disabilities. This project underscores the vital role of education in fostering empathy and advocacy, preparing future educators to champion the rights and well-being of all individuals, and paving the way for a more inclusive and compassionate society.
