To spread awareness and promote inclusivity for all, Shri
@sanjayjavin, Secretary, Department of School Education & Literacy (DoSEL) along with Shri Rajesh Agarwal, Secretary, Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities flagged off the ‘Walk for Dyslexia’, which included more than 300 persons.
Shri Sanjay Kumar emphasised the importance of creating awareness and acceptance around Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs), marking, “Every child learns differently. Dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of understanding and expressing knowledge. With early identification, support, and empathy, children with Dyslexia can achieve remarkable success.” He also underlined the role of PRASHAST 2.0, a mobile app-based screening tool that helps schools identify children with disabilities at an early stage.
#Walk4Dyslexia was co-organized by ChangeInkk Foundation, UNESCO MGEIP, Orkids Foundation and Soch Foundation. Keeping the colour of the walk as red for Dyslexia Awareness, Rashtrapati Bhawan, Secretariat, along with several other historical monuments and government buildings across the country were illuminated in red on Sunday evening.
