It is baffling that even today, the government lacks credible, comprehensive data on persons with disabilities (PwDs)-let alone persons with severe disabilities. What is more absurd is the persistent official estimate pe***ng our population at barely 2 percent. Developed nations like the UK and the US document disabled populations between 7 and 9 percent (and globally, the WHO estimates 16 percent). Which heavenly intervention of angelz saved India to keep ours at 2 percent? You cannot allocate resources, build accessible infrastructure, or frame policy for a community you refuse to count accurately.
Equally exhausting is the patronizing cycle of euphemisms: differently-abled, divyang, and the like. We do not need linguistic charity; we need rights, equity, and access. The word "DIVYANG" has changed nothing on ground. "ACCESSIBLE INDIA" is still the biggest shame especially in J&K
I am disabled. I have no shame or regret about it. I navigate the world in a wheelchair, and no amount of pious terminology changes the fact that the barrier isn't my body—it’s an inaccessible society. Call it what it is.
Had not I been on wheelchair perhaps I would not have done the all India spinal cord injury awareness drive of 24850 kms in 77 days covering length and breadth of India

This centuries-old tragedy repeats annually, met only with institutional apathy. When will safety protocols and rural awareness become a priority?
Year after year, falls from trees claim young lives or leave survivors paralyzed for life.
This isn't just an accident—it’s an annual, preventable cycle of trauma met with total societal and administrative indifference. Prevention and safety gear must be mandated now

Free travel for persons with disabilities is commendable on paper, but it means little when our physical infrastructure remains inaccessible.
​The starkest irony? The Social Welfare Directorate itself isn’t wheelchair accessible and lacks reserved parking for disabled people.
​Inclusion requires access, not just concessions.

Spinal Cord Injury is not the end of life it is the beginning of a different journey. This day reminds us to spread awareness, promote accessibility, protect the rights of persons with spinal cord injuries, and build a society where everyone can live with dignity, independence, and equal opportunities. People with spinal cord injuries do not need sympathy alone they need acceptance, accessibility, opportunities, and equality. Let’s break the barriers, raise our voices, and create a more inclusive world where no one is left behind.

Creating Livelihood, Restoring Dignity

Care Foundation always strives to support disabled individuals by helping them become self-reliant One such example is from Doda, who was supported with essential shop supplies to help start and sustain his livelihood.

Because true help is not just giving support it is creating an opportunity to live with dignity

It is deeply heartbreaking to witness such negligence 💔

A young girl with a disability visited the CMO Office, Kulgam, along with her brother regarding her scooty-related matter. Like any public office, especially one that is frequently visited by persons with disabilities, they expected basic accessibility, including a functional wheelchair and proper facilities.

.

Although a wheelchair was available, it was completely unusable. The seat, where a person is supposed to sit, was missing. It was broken and unfit for use. With no other option, her brother searched around the premises, found a piece of wood, and placed it on the wheelchair as a temporary seat. Only then was she able to sit on it.

The attached photographs speak for themselves. Everyone can clearly see the condition of the wheelchair and the challenges faced by persons with disabilities.

This is not just about a broken wheelchair it reflects a serious lack of accessibility, care, and respect for the dignity of persons with disabilities.

Government departments often make promises about inclusion and accessibility, but the reality on the ground tells a different story. Persons with disabilities regularly visit government offices, hospitals, and many private institutions. Every such place should provide essential accessibility features, including functional wheelchairs, ramps, accessible washrooms, and barrier-free access.

We sincerely urge the District Commissioner (DC), Kulgam, to take immediate notice of this issue and ensure that every government and private office in Kulgam is made accessible for persons with disabilities. No one should have to suffer humiliation or unnecessary hardship simply because basic facilities are missing.

Accessibility is not a privilege it is a basic human right. Every person deserves to be treated with dignity, equality, and respect.

Thank you 🙏
