15 October is observed worldwide as White Cane Day. In Goa, NAB (National Association for the Blind) organises an awareness walk of visually challenged students with others. The walk is on the road, crossing across traffic. The purpose is to make everyone recognise the white cane and assist its visually challenged owner.
The rally moved to Ambedkar Park. A skit was performed, best slogans were awarded and two students presented their invention of a wrist strap sensor. Mahadev Sawant called for SSR – Self Social Responsibility, where individuals would assist the visually impaired to live and work independently by having equal access to opportunities.
Individual Social Responsibility is a moral creed where individuals accept their duty toward society. Being ‘socially responsible’ is about behaving ethically and sensitively to each other’s needs. It is being accountable for our actions and being conscious of the impact our actions have on others, our communities, and the environment!
The opportunity for progress cannot be exclusive to some and inaccessible to the others. When we escape the onus of our social obligations, it results in the denial of the rights of those who need them the most. When we embrace our fundamental human responsibilities, we ensure the right to equal opportunity for all!
Individual Social Responsibility are confirmed in our actions when we assist the one who needs our assistance, when we stop in our tracks so that the other may cross across to their destination, when we walk hand-in-hand and celebrate the remarkable benefits of interdependence.
Reach out your assisting hand
ISR must be a collective trend!
