Design crusaders foster accessibility, inclusivity for the disabled

From making accessible search engine for the disabled to helping them dribble a ball for Coimbatore's first wheelchair basketball team, the winners of NCPEDPMphasis Universal Design Awards 2023 have the tenacity to realise their aspirations through resilience and vision.

Gunasekaran Jagadeesan, the founder of the Sittruli Foundation in Tamil Nadu's Erode district, is one of the 14 awardees. Recognising a glaring need for para-sports, Gunasekaran teamed up with Ganga Hospitals and the Cognizant Outreach team to introduce wheelchair basketball to Coimbatore district in Tamil Nadu. They built a dedicated court at Ganga Spinal Rehabilitation Centre and secured 15 sports wheelchairs through Motivation India partnerships. Since 2018, they have hosted state-level tournaments, the South Indian Zonal Tournament, and even organised inter-state exhibition tournament in Varanasi.

With a view to spreading awareness about universal design and popularising the concept, the NCPEDPMphasis Universal Design Awards have been conferred for the past 13 years. These awards acknowledge efforts of individuals and organisations dedicated to fostering accessibility and inclusivity in India through their innovative designs and inclusive projects.
