The Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD) has partnered with Enable India to introduce a revolutionary 70-hour interactive Employability Skills course for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs).
The launch of this innovative course took center stage at the Purple Fest, promising a brighter future for individuals with disabilities. Attendees witnessed the inauguration ceremony, highlighting the commitment to creating an inclusive and empowered society.
In addition to this significant announcement, the National Council for Vocational Education and Training, in collaboration with the Department for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, revealed comprehensive Guidelines for Accessibility Standards. These guidelines, meticulously tailored for both physical and digital skill training infrastructure, serve as a beacon of inclusivity for individuals with diverse disabilities. This revolutionary step ensures that the standards will be adopted nationwide by all government-associated skill training organizations, fostering a more accessible environment for everyone.
The impact of these initiatives promises to create lasting changes in the landscape of employability and accessibility for Persons with Disabilities across the nation.
