India Celebrates World Down Syndrome Day 2023 and how!
After two years of pandemic and a year of adjustment, 2023 came with a hope for a healthier world. And it kept up to its expectations – at least as far as World Down Syndrome Day celebrations go. This year the whole of India celebrated – from Kashmir to Tamilnadu, from Mumbai to Rourkela, India had turned blue and yellow – the colours of Down syndrome. Buildings were lit up, arenas were decorated, hospitals were beautified and everywhere there was a sense of joy. From colleges to hospitals, seminars to fun activities, malls to roads, there was no place that we had left out. We had fashion shows, medical camps, special games for persons with Down syndrome, virtual webinars, awareness in hospitals, schools and colleges, fun activities and much more…
This is the beginning of a revolution. To make sure that our self-advocates are included. By inclusion, we do not mean they are there, it means they are there with a voice, with their opinions – opinions that matter.
We are happy that there was more involvement from society and this is just the start. Let us hope this camaraderie continues… Here are a few glimpses of how India celebrated. We will be coming out with more. So keep coming back.

The circular above was released on the 12th of October 2022.
