During the interactive session, Priya, Miss India 2015 (Wheel Chair) shared: “I think, everybody in this world is disabled in one or the other form. Our suffering should not make us dejected rather we should overcome and enjoy it. I appeal that government agencies should come forward to provide, to persons like me, computer applications based and allied jobs, like content writing etc., that can be done while sitting at home.

Similarly, Anand Arnold, 4 times Mr India (Wheel Chair) and 12 times Mr Punjab (Wheel Chair), exhibited his robust physique and inspired everyone that disability is in our mind only. He said, “Make the most of it, live a blessed life even in such a condition. I have worked for Bollywood and Hollywood films and a book has also been written on my achievements.”
