All of us have the desire to travel, explore unknown destinations, and embark on expeditions. However, a large section of the population in India finds it arduous to move from one place to another due to inaccessible infrastructure. According to the last Census conducted in 2001, over 21 million people in the country are differently-abled, but only three percent of public spaces are accessible for them.

Anuprayaas, Bengaluru-based social enterprise is on a mission to change this. The organisation is not only working towards creating inclusive neighbourhoods but also sensitising people about different disabilities.
