The International Day of Persons with Disabilities is observed on 3 December. This year’s theme was a call for resonance and inclusiveness towards people with disabilities and an understanding that ‘Not all disabilities are visible’ such as mental illness, chronic pain or fatigue, learning differences amongst others. These disabilities are often overlooked and misunderstood which might prevent further open conversations regarding them.
Delhi Public School, R.K.Puram’s Psychology Club organized a presentation for the grade XI psychology students which was prepared by the following students Mihika Jain XI X, Geetanjali Goel XI K, Anandit Thakur 11X, Killada Shreevani 11U and Kriti Tripathi of class 11X.The purpose of the presentation was to inculcate awareness among the fellow students about disabilities both physical and mental .The presentation was very informative and appropriately presented with the help of short videos including a renowned TED talk by Ameii Mullins. It aimed at encouraging empathy and recognition towards needs of people with such disabilities. Acknowledging the pivotal role of stigma, discrimination and neglect as barriers in accessibility to professional medical help was also highlighted by use of media. The presenters also depicted the feelings of disabled people through a heartwarming self composed poem ‘Fire in a building’ illustrating how the inability of people to treat them equally and accepting their special needs is more detrimental to their well being than their own disabilities. The presentation was followed by a very interactive and compelling quiz which was created by our very own psychology students and was attempted by all. Lastly, the presentation also stressed upon the significance of open minds, open communication and elimination of social stigma towards fostering acceptance and inclusiveness as all disabilities are just differences which can be overcome through assistance.
The International Day of Persons With Disabilities is celebrated every year on December 3 since its proclamation in 1992. Every year this day has a different theme. The theme of this year is that: ’not all disabilities are visible. One of its aims is to educate people how to behave around people with disabilities, develop empathy towards them and how to make them feel more comfortable
Four students who are part of the Social Service League- Alma Ali of 11 U, Devina Singh of 11 V, Krish Gupta of 11 R and Mudit Khandelwal of 11V- prepared and presented a Presentation on this topic.The presentation was prepared by Mudit and Devina. Krish and Alma spoke on it. At the end of the presentation, there was an open discussion in which everyone participated.
It started with a short poem and then talked about how people with disabilities are extremely special and need to be showered with love and extreme care. Following this, we had a discussion about what each individual thinks the world “disability” means. We told the attendees about some striking facts, discussed some challenges faced by them, their employment opportunities, and finally, busted some common myths about disabilities.
The main objective of this presentation was to educate the club members as to how they should behave in front of people with disabilities. We told them to act how they would with any other person; be gentle, affectionate and ask if they need something. We also told them to make people with disabilities feel comfortable around them because they need the empathy of the society and not their sympathy.
Topic: “Everything will be okay at the end; If it is not okay it is not the end”
The class presentation of XI-O was based on the theme of adopting an optimistic worldview: “Everything will be okay at the end; If it is not okay it is not the end”. The presentation began with a thoughtful shloka by Thakur Uday.

Topic-Where Words Fail, Music Speaks…
Music is the creation of the words of the mind and the sounds and rhythms of the world and everything around us. Words, although are often proven useful but can’t begin to show the depth of what a good song does when it’s stuck in our brain. No matter what age, social, cultural or religious boundaries we talk about, music touches each soul and mixes and mingles with our emotions and cures all negatives that reside in our hearts and souls.
The presentation started with a divine prayer sung by Ruhani Kumar followed by a welcome note and introduction by comperes Vishesh Jawa and Aarushi Gupta. It was then followed by the Thought for the Day by Kunal Kumar. A meaningful poem on ‘Power of Music’ was recited by Aaryana Khare.Words of wisdom in the form of Shlokas were recited by Mridul Malani and Spriha Sahni. A melodious and energising musical performance was given by Ruhani Kumar, Amal Tharikh, Aditya Mathur, Aman Raj and Vishesh Jawa.
