Under the Shadow of Digital Exclusion with Shameer Rishad
In this episode, we speak with Shameer Rishad, the Convenor of the Javed Abidi Foundation (JAF) about the multiple ways students with diverse needs are excluded from India’s digital education plan. We also discuss possible solutions that would ensure equal learning opportunities for everyone in this digital age.
JAF is a youth advocacy group set up in 2019 as a tribute to Late Shri Javed Abidi, a disability rights activist who worked very hard for the rights of people with disabilities. The Javed Abidi Foundation strives to bring youth together, foster friendships, and create a community where individuals and youth with disabilities know their rights. It trains them to be young leaders in the disability space, and effectively enable change.
