“AN INITIATIVE TOWARDS “SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY” OBJECTIVES EMPOWERING THE DISABLED WITH SPECIAL ABILITIES HELPING THEM TO ADAPT IN VARIED WORK CULTURE MAKING APPROPRIATE JOBS AVAILABLE TO THEM STORY OF 2 FROG A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. “International Day of Persons with Disabilities”, aims to promote an awareness of disability issues and the fundamental rights of persons with disabilities. It is important to integrate disabled persons in the main stream of society. Society must take adequate steps to involve persons with disabilities in the main stream of each aspect of the social, political, economic and cultural status of their communities. REFLECTIONS Gitanjali Gems Ltd The Gems & Jewellery provides ample opportunities for the employment of persons with disabilities on account of the specific nature of its processes. No company has put this realization to better use than the Gitanjali Group. Established in 1966, it is India’s largest integrated diamond & manufacturer-retailer. Lemon Tree Hotels Pvt. Ltd. If all goes per plan ,by 2013 Lemon Tree Hotels will have about 300 disabled people as team members (or one in every ten, a significant jump from the current 50 or 3.3 % of staff strength . Not surprising for a chain that prides itself on providing employment to those with speech & hearing impairments. This has been company policy from an early stage of the chain’s existence. Sinar Jernih (India) Pvt Ltd. What better testimony to the thoughtfulness that goes into the employment of persons with disabilities than the fact that such individual’s special needs are taken into consideration at the time of induction? An equal opportunity employer, Sinar Jernih (Ind) Pvt. Ltd. believes in doing things differently. Yum! Restaurant (India) Pvt Ltd A vision to open one specially- abled restaurant in every city that Yum! Restaurants International operates in, opens new opportunities for gainful employment of disabled people.
