Sharing with you the
presentation I submitted to the Nagaland Vision 2030 expert team. The team is
currently in the process of preparing a roadmap vision document for the
development of Nagaland over the next fifteen years.
WHAT DO PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES WANT?
They want the same things that everyone else in the
community wants. They want the opportunity to get a good education, get a job,
lead worthwhile lives and be valued members of the society. They want to be
able to go to church and worship, to go shopping, go out with family and
friends, and enjoy a concert or festival celebration. They want a chance to
participate meaningfully in the life of the community. They want their human
rights recognised and realised. They
want change and are hopeful that others will share their vision of an inclusive
Nagaland that leaves no one behind, a Nagaland that enables people with
disabilities to fulfil their potential as equal citizens, a Nagaland for all.
