Inclusive Disability, A Diverse Existence

How often do we see mirrors, how many among us observe the finger of one hand is smaller or bigger than other, it's all about learning our diverse existence", said Akshay Tyagi, Head DEI, The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group, Keshav Suri Foundation addressing the BW People Ask Insights Disability Positive Summit and Awards on Monday. 

He said, as an individual we don't know how to react or respond in the next 15 minutes, then how can we accept the world to act the way we want. 

In a world where we are too quick to judge others action and reaction, Tyagi said we need to close one eye and see the broader picture other side, if we don't do that than we are not accepting the difference which are right outside. 

According to the head DEI, recognising others is very important and subsequently representing and reflecting oneself is significant. We at Lalit Suri Hospitality embrace this understanding of people, their representation, their experiences, and the experience they create for others. 

Considering inclusive disability which means understanding the relationship between people's functioning and their participation in society, Tyagi emphasises the need for a holistic society, wherein everyone stands together and dissolves the disability tag.  

In an attempt to view everyone equally, having the same opportunities to participate in every aspect of life, we need to accept the 'especially abled', he added  
"Every individual is unique and has its own story, we just need to give people their space and understand their accessibility", Tyagi exclaimed underlining the individual's identity.  

He further said, at our hospitality group we put efforts to develop sensitive individuals the ones who can relate with the specially-abled, listen to their stories and start working on their journey. 

He ended the session urging everyone to come together and create a wonderful world.
