Editor’s Message

Hello Readers,

Thank you for the wonderful reception of our first edition! Your messages and support mean the world to us and keep us motivated.

We’re making some exciting changes based on your suggestions. To make the magazine easier to digest, we’re capping the online edition at twelve articles with as much brevity as we can follow. But don't worry—more great content will be updated regularly at differentlyabled.in. For those who prefer listening on the go, we are also introducing an audio format for our articles.

Our cover story this month follows Srinidhi Kesavan. For anyone feeling overwhelmed by circumstances, Srinidhi’s journey from "pain to possibilities" is a must-read. We also have a lovely update on Angelin Lipika, who is currently studying in the US; seeing her joy during her first snowfall was a highlight for us all!.

Our team spent February traveling to key events. In Delhi, we were moved by Dr. Tony Nader’s keynote on the science of inclusion—you can find the summary on page 13. In Bangalore, the InvokED 2026 Conclave was a beautiful reminder of the power of NGOs working together.

However, not every event met expectations. We found the UNICEF National Policy Discussion somewhat disappointing. Rather than a deep dive into the challenges our children face, it felt like a series of formal presentations that missed the "on-the-ground" truth. We believe policy needs more than just beautiful language—it needs reality.

We’ve also included new tutorials and resources specifically for the "super-mums" in our community.

Happy reading,
For Team Diversity
Ram Kamal, Editor
