Kolkata/IBNS: Kolkata-based non-profit organisation UNMISH has taken such a huge step towards improving the lives of specially-abled children and young adults through a spectacular initiative in its 8th edition of POORNAM.

This year in 2023 with the special goal of empowering children, UNMISH is providing opportunities for skill development and employment by helping these young adults become independent and self-reliant members of society.

UNMISH's Founder and Director Nita Diwan conceptualises events every year with the specific goal of empowering these children.

Renowned actor Prosenjit Chatterjee and other notable personalities from different walks of life were present to encourage and support the young participants.

The presence of such personalities not only adds credibility to the event but also helps to raise awareness about the cause that the organization is working towards. Overall, the event was a resounding success and had the support of the wider community. 

US Consulate General, Kolkata (India) Melinda Pavek was also present to encourage the children. She commented at the event, "It's great to see such kind of interesting games and these games are helping children be physically active and developing themselves. I am thrilled to be here and the initiative that has taken UNMISH."

An art exhibition was also created by their vocational unit, UDAAN, as part of the programme, further enhancing this revolutionary event.

The efforts were made by the entire team of UNMISH, along with their Founder and Director Nita Diwan, to ensure that the participants and guests had a memorable experience.

Nita Diwan, the Founder, Director of UNMISH, commented, "Every imperfection is a perfection. We should look beyond disabilities and focus on an individual's strengths and potential. We have been conducting this unique event for the last 7 years and the objective of this initiative is to make the special children realise their own potential and feel valued and appreciated by the outside world.”
