New Delhi, Oct 3, 2024: Voice of Specially Abled People (VOSAP) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India’s first global multicast news hub Live Times to drive the country towards a 30 trillion-dollar economy with a strong emphasis on inclusivity and empowerment of persons with disabilities, contributing to it USD 1 Trillion by 2047.
The MoU between Live Times and VOSAP represents a major step forward towards ‘Viksit Bharat by 2047,’ placing inclusivity of Divyangjan and accessibility at the heart of India’s development. The partnership’s mission is to generate a $1 trillion economic impact from the disability sector by India’s centenary, ensuring that the skills and contributions of persons with disabilities are recognized and harnessed as essential to India’s journey towards becoming a developed and inclusive nation.
This alliance is set to significantly impact both the disability sector and the broader economy. VOSAP will provide data, content that raises awareness about the ABILITY, untapped economic opportunities and challenges faced by persons with disabilities, while Live Times will leverage its global platform to amplify these inspiring stories. Their combined efforts will drive resource mobilization, advocate for supportive policies, and inspire corporate social responsibility initiatives, all aimed at achieving a $1 trillion economic contribution from the disability sector.
Connect with 300+ corporates, foundations and social enterprise leaders.
Dilip Singh, Founder of Live Times, emphasized the media’s responsibility in shaping an inclusive future: "Live Times is dedicated to truth-based journalism, and our partnership with VOSAP reflects our commitment to creating a world where every voice is heard. As we embark on this journey towards a trillion-dollar inclusive economy, showcasing the strength and resilience of persons with disabilities is crucial. This collaboration will not only raise awareness but also drive action, paving the way for a more equitable and prosperous India."
Pranav Desai, Founder of VOSAP, highlighted the transformative impact of this partnership, stating, "As we strive towards a developed India by 2047, it is crucial that we build an economy that includes all its citizens. Our partnership with Live Times marks a significant step in this direction. By highlighting the ability and potential of persons with disabilities, we can change the narrative and create a society where Divyangjan have the opportunity to contribute to Viksit Bharat. The media has a powerful role to play in this transformation, and with Live Times as our partner, we are confident that we can inspire real change with real stories and compelling data."
The partnership between VOSAP and Live Times is poised to make a significant impact on both the disability sector and the broader economy. As VOSAP and Live Times move forward together, they invite all stakeholders to join in this mission to make India not just a developed economy, but an inclusive one.
