India Enable Expo will be a great opportunity for both national & international disability & rehabilitation related products & services orgs India Enable Expo is an exhibition for the products, services and technologies related to the disabilities and rehabilitation sectors. India Enable Expo will provide a dedicated platform for Private and Government organisations from various sectors like infrastructure, aviation, tourism, hospitality, facilities management, technology, consumer electronics, public transport, education, healthcare and others, to showcase their portfolio of products and services along with their future plans to support more than a billion people with disabilities worldwide, over 70 million of whom reside in India. The expo is also aimed at encouraging government authorities and private sector players to change their perception about people with special needs and disabilities. This will help in improving the services to meet their needs, integrate them in the society and enable them overcome their daily challenges. The current world population is 7.5 billion as of June 2017 according to the most recent United Nations estimates elaborated by Worldometers . Over a billion people globally about 15% have some form of disability. 360 million people worldwide have moderate to profound hearing loss, 285 million people are visually impaired (39 million of whom are blind), 75 million people need a wheelchair (of which, only 5-15% actually have access to one).The number of people with disabilities in India has been estimated at 70 million . Unlike those in the West, most people with disabilities in India and their families are focused on survival because of poverty . People with disabilities are often seen as wicked or deceitful, or as unable to progress to adulthood and dependent on charity and pity for assistance . Disability in India is affected by other social divisions such as class, gender, and caste. Statistics show that women with disabilities in India are more marginalized than their male counterparts. For years, disabled people had to rely on somebody else doing things for them. But now with the help of assistive technology, disabled people can do things that would have never been possible before - from switching on a light to having a voice to express themselves. Technology have lowered barriers that people with disabilities encounter in their daily lives, such as speaking, travelling, reading, and writing. It can allow them to participate and enjoy the benefits of the digital society, with the same access to information as everyone else. And, perhaps most importantly, new technology can allow people with disabilities to act more independently from others if they wish (at the same time as connecting them with people around the world). Applications and Gadgets like Dot; Talkitt; sesame phone; UNI; Finger Reader; Be My Eyes; Axs map; Transcence; Assist-Mi; Liftware etc are helping the disabled get assistance when and where they need it. Imagine everything you need, all under one roof. India Enable Expo is the go-to source for the Community of people with disabilities, their families, seniors, veterans, disability equipment manufacturers, latest technology, training schools and healthcare professionals. This event showcases new technologies, new possibilities, new solutions and new opportunities to change your life.
