Date: 17th February 2025
Time: 2:00 p.m.
Venue: Room G1, SGTB Khalsa
On the 17th of February the Centre for Disability Research and Training (CDRT), Kirori Mal
College was invited to conduct a three hour long academic cum sensitization disability at Sri
Guru Tegh Bahadur (SGTB) Khalsa College. The welcoming note was delivered by Mr. Ritwick
Bhattercharjee.
The workshop comprised the four distinct segments: In the first, the participants were made
to watch a disability awareness video which was followed by a lively discussion on the
disability experience and the role that society plays in shaping this experience.
The second segment consisted of interactive activities which stimulated the disabled
experience. These activities included simple yet essential tasks such as walking across the
room, identifying objects by touch, pouring water into a glass, etc. By engaging in these
activities’ participants gained firsthand insight into the challenges faced by visually impaired
individuals in their daily lives.
The session also featured a short compelling skit, The Big Lie which highlighted society’s
condescending attitudes towards disability. The worjsop concluded with an academic
presentation on disability and humor.
The workshop proved to be an enriching experience for the students of SGTB Khalsa College
who expressed their heartfelt gratitude and a vote of thanks was delivered by Ms. Shweta
Khilnani.
