“My advice to other disabled people would be, concentrate on things your disability doesn't prevent you doing well, and don't regret the things it interferes with. Don't be disabled in spirit, as well as physically.” - Stephen Hawking
The Gangadhar Meher University's Divyangjan Cell emerged with a primary objective of motivating students and ensuring accessibility and equal opportunities to students with Divyang. At the institutional level, this cell encourages awareness of and accepts diversity as an essential part of humanity. It respects Divyangjan's recognition and develops a feeling of respect. The cell empowers instructors and pupils with the knowledge and the skills to utilize the various resources and appliances expected to cater to Divyangjan's needs. The cell also pays attention to the specific necessities of the pupils.
The term "Divyang," was uttered by Mr. Narendra Modi, the Honourable Prime Minister of India. The Hindi word "divyang" means "one with a divine body part." In response to the prime minister, individuals who possess disabilities should no longer be referred to as viklang individuals or disabled people. The word seems highly unsuitable.
The Indian Constitution demands an inclusive society and ensures the equality, freedom, justice, and dignity of everyone, including people with disabilities. As such, the governance paradigm's strategy has always been proactive in fulfilling the needs of those in excluded circumstances and giving them equal chances over the board. A prime example is disability, a reason for extra consideration in terms of policy, operation, and oversight
