Six Disabled Fellows to Shape Government Policy

Six people with disabilities and four others, including caregivers and experts, have been chosen for a special fellowship program.

This program, called the Breaking Barrier Fellowship, will help them work with the government to make better policies for people with disabilities.

They will spend a year working in different cities like Delhi, Dehradun, Mumbai, and Secunderabad.

The goal is to make sure that the rights of people with disabilities are respected and that policies are made based on real experiences.

One of the fellows, Niharika Mohan, wants to use her experience as a caregiver to create policies that help people who work while also taking care of their loved ones.

Another fellow, Aquib Rahman, wants to promote inclusive education, especially in higher levels, and improve data on inclusion in Kashmir.
