A statewide awareness campaign to promote entrepreneurship, technology, skill development, and empowerment for people with disabilities in conjunction with World Disability Day . For the beneficiaries (parents, siblings, and others) of people with disabilities, as well as students from various universities in Kerala, an Ideathon event is hosted as a first step. It is anticipated that this will give the able-bodied society the chance to thoroughly research and examine the lives of their atypical counterparts as part of the awareness campaign. This will serve as a forum for the community of people with disabilities to voice their aspirations for the future and to put up suggestions for ways to improve their lives and increase their level of independence.
