Empowering Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in Mysuru: Bridging the Gap At GRAAM, we’re uncovering innovative strategies to improve urban governance and ensure equal access to welfare schemes for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs). This study, led by the 2023 Youth for Governance Fellows, highlights the challenges PwDs face in accessing services and offers solutions to make welfare schemes more inclusive. Many PwDs struggle with awareness and accessibility, missing out on critical support due to bureaucratic barriers. Through digitalization, accessible apps, and effective grievance redressal systems, we can ensure PwDs in Mysuru get the support they deserve to build better livelihoods and opportunities. Together, we can create a truly inclusive society where everyone, regardless of ability, has the chance to thrive. Let’s raise awareness, simplify access, and make a difference. #PwDInclusion #InclusiveGovernance #UrbanGovernance #DisabilityAwareness #MysuruCity #WelfareSchemes #AccessibilityMatters #SocialJustice #DigitalInclusion #YouthForGovernance #CommunityEmpowerment #PolicyChange #DisabilityRights #EqualOpportunities #InclusiveDevelopment

Beyond Boundaries: Empowering Anganwadi Services in Mysuru City At GRAAM, we’re uncovering innovative solutions to uplift urban governance and service delivery. The 2023 Youth for Governance Fellows took a deep dive into the infrastructure challenges facing Anganwadi centers in Mysuru, highlighting gaps and opportunities for community-driven change. Anganwadi centers are essential for early childhood development, but many face critical infrastructure deficiencies like lack of basic amenities. Despite this, dedicated Anganwadi workers continue to serve as pillars of nutrition, education, and healthcare. Our study emphasizes collaborative solutions: CSR partnerships, community engagement, and infrastructure audits that could transform these centers into thriving hubs for children and families. Your thoughts matter—how can we bridge these gaps and create lasting change? #AnganwadiServices #UrbanGovernance #YouthForGovernance #CommunityEngagement #EarlyChildhoodDevelopment #MysuruCity #CSRPartnerships #PublicHealth #SocialImpact #InfrastructureDevelopment #GrassrootsInnovation #EmpowerCommunities #ChildhoodNutrition #AnganwadiWorkers #TransformingCommunities #InclusiveDevelopment
