The Resurging Value of Civil Society for Indian Crafts
In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, the power of inclusivity cannot be underestimated. Embracing diversity and fostering a sense of unity among individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and identities has the potential to create a more vibrant, equitable, and harmonious society. Inclusivity is not just about meeting legal requirements or paying lip service to diversity; it is about recognizing the inherent value and worth of every individual and ensuring that they have an equal opportunity to thrive and contribute.
One of the most remarkable aspects of inclusivity is its ability to unlock human potential. When people feel seen, heard, and respected, they are more likely to bring their authentic selves to the table, which leads to increased creativity, innovation, and productivity. Inclusivity allows individuals to feel comfortable expressing their unique perspectives, ideas, and talents, ultimately leading to a richer and more comprehensive understanding of the world around us.
Moreover, inclusivity is a powerful force for social change and justice. It recognizes that every individual deserves fair treatment and equal opportunities, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic. Inclusive societies challenge systemic barriers and biases, dismantling the structures that perpetuate discrimination and exclusion. By actively promoting inclusivity, we can create more just and equitable institutions and systems that benefit everyone.
Digital Empowerment Foundation has always considered inclusivity as one of the prime factors to bring sustained social change and hence has been an integral part of the design of each program. In this edition, the stories from the ground reassures the power of inclusivity as people with disabilities like Ganesh Pawar and Alpna Sharma serve the community, women like Kailashben step out to learn new technologies, centres in places like Kashmir with poor internet connection strive to include the young into the digital world and women from remote villages lead the drive to enhance digital literacy.
