ANNUAL AWARDS 2008
Disability issues & movement in the country have fast evolved from the traditional/religious model to charity & social models and now to a human rights model where it is no longer an issue of pity or charity but an issue of human dignity & independence. It is no longer an act of social benevolence but a matter of right that environmental & attitudinal barriers are removed. It is neither a matter of chance nor sympathy rather the persons with disability have the right to be included in schools, job establishments etc, and the right to access to public buildings, public transports and information. It is in the light of this paradigm shift and the consequent need to recognize excellence, to encourage voluntarism and to promote best practices in the disability sector that the National Trust Annual Awards are instituted.
