In this Conversation, we are going to talk about Locomotor Disability. Locomotor Disability means restriction in the movement of the limbs.

Strictly speaking Locomotor Disability means problem in moving from one place to another — i.e. disability in legs. But, in general, it is taken as a disability related with bones, joints and muscles. It causes problems in person’s movements (like walking, picking or holding things in hand etc.)

Today we have with us Gauri Gupta, a student, writer, artist, and a disability inclusion activist.

She has recently graduated in Philosophy Hons from Lady Shri Ram College for Women, Delhi University. She lives with Spina Bifida- myelomeningocele, which has led to locomotor disability. She is also a para-athlete at state and national levels.

We all know how the landscape of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion has changed over the last few years. It has now extended beyond gender and includes other important facets such as age, ethnicity, sexual orientation, mindsets, people with disabilities to name a few.

But we see the narrative of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion changing even further in the new hybrid ways of working. In the hybrid workplace different categories have emerged among employees: like those who are in the office and those who are remote. So what are organisations doing to create an even playing field for all in this environment?

With the same thought, MarchingSheep brings to you its next Panel Discussion on “ The Broadening Narrative of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Virtual and Hybrid Working Models”. We have an illustrious panel comprising of industry leaders Amit Chincholikar from Tata Consumer Products, Manish Sinha from Mahindra and Mahindra Limited [Automotive and Farm Equipment Business], Manvi Sushil from Avery Dennison, Sheetal Sandhu from ICRA and Raman Kumar Singh from ABB, who will share their #insights, #experiences and views on integrating different aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion in today’s times.

In this conversation, we are going to talk about #CerebralPalsy.
Cerebral Palsy (CP), one of the disabilities covered under the RPWD act 2016, is a disabling physical condition in which muscle coordination is impaired due to damage to the brain. It occurs at or before child birth. Cerebral Palsy is not a progressive condition; meaning it does not get worse with time. However, muscle disuse could increase the extent of disability over the period of time. At present there is no cure available for this condition. Thus, Cerebral Palsy is incurable and life-long condition, at present. In India, 3 out of every 1000 live births are affected by Cerebral Palsy.

We have with us Sidhharth GJ, a banker, Author, Speaker and a Life Coach, who will take us through his journey.

It was a proud moment for all of us as we concluded a 6 week long Learning journey with the leadership and managers of a #manufacturing MSME company on Leadership imperatives. We were all moved by the warmth shown by the participants, and the enthusiasm in their war cries, as they embark on their path ahead. The best part was, they made us a part of their future endeavors and commitment by inviting us into the whatsapp groups they have made for implementation of whatever they have learnt, and we willingly offered to mentor and guide. It gives us a huge sense of satisfaction and pride, when our clients and participants make us a part of them.

In this episode, we are going to talk about Multiple Sclerosis, With Jigna Chanpura.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing a wide range of potential symptoms, including problems with vision, arm or leg movement, sensation or balance. It’s a lifelong condition that can sometimes cause serious disability, although it can occasionally be mild.

Jigna was having a very easy life, good job in a prominent Bank when she got her first attack of Multiple Sclerosis. She was able to recover from her first two attacks but it was the third attack, which impacted her speech, that shook her. deeply depressed, she quit her job.

This conversation is about her journey, of overcoming challenges, and leading a life of independence and self-reliance.

Today we are going to talk about a hidden disability covered under the RPWD act, something which cannot be seen, but can wreak havoc in the lives of people experiencing it. We are going to talk about clinical depression.

Depression ranges in seriousness from mild, temporary episodes of sadness to severe, persistent depression. Clinical depression is the more-severe form of depression, also known as major depression or major depressive disorder. It isn’t the same as depression caused by a loss, such as the death of a loved one, or a medical condition, such as a thyroid disorder.

WHO also estimates that about 7.5 per cent Indians suffer from some mental disorder and predicted that by end 2020 roughly 20 per cent of India will suffer from mental illnesses. According to the numbers, 56 million Indians suffer from depression and another 38 million Indians suffer from anxiety disorders.

WHO also estimates that, in India, the economic loss, due to mental health conditions, between 2012-2030, is 1.03 trillions of 2010 dollars.

It therefore becomes imperative that we understand this issue deeply, and collectively help individuals dealing with Clinical depression overcome it and lead meaningful lives.
