Abstract

Disability is the consequence of an impairment that may be physical, cognitive, mental, sensory, emotional, developmental, or some combination of these. A disability may be present from birth, or occur during a person’s lifetime. The NSSO’s countrywide surveys on the magnitude of the problems of disability show that the disabled population (excluding the mentally disabled) increased from 13.67 million (1.8 per cent of total population) in 1981 to 16.36 million in 1991 (1.9 per cent). Commonly, persons with disability have been considered burdensome and shameful, because they are incapable of contributing to traditional social obligations and roles. These attitudes and behaviors not only prevent the children from getting appropriate medical care for their conditions, but also prevent them from living “normally”. To overcome this it was decided to conduct the project on creating awareness about disable children amongst selected villages of Vadodara District. The programme was systematically planned and executed with the help of folk media Programme was conducted in four villages Karachiya, Koyli, Undera, and Bajawa. Programme was conducted through bhavai and rally. Through this villagers were aware and sensitize towards disables. This programme is not enough for the whole but it help a little bit to improve the status of society and nation. The purpose of this programme is to create awareness and people are responding well to the activities this shows that people start attending the disables as a normal one. Key words: disability, folk media, awareness
