IBSA partnered with the British Deputy High Commission Kolkata, with support from Rotary Club of Kolkata Metro City and Connections to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities in Kolkata on 18 December 2024.

Reetasri Ghosh, Vice-President, IBSA and Dr Nandini Roy, Chair, Programmes Council, IBSA spoke at the event about the need to raise awareness on disability in sports. Ritushree Guha, member of IBSA spoke in the panel discussion on ‘Amplifying leadership in Disability Cricket’.

During the programme, IBSA proudly donated a cricket kit to the Coach and players of WBCADA (West Bengal Cricket Association for the Differently Abled), supporting their efforts to promote sports and inclusivity for differently-abled individuals. This initiative aligns with IBSA’s commitment to empowering individuals with disabilities through sports and creating opportunities for all to excel, regardless of their physical abilities.

We are honored to be part of this significant step in fostering inclusivity and encouraging the differently-abled community to participate in sports, develop confidence, and achieve greatness. Let’s continue to work together to break barriers and create a world where everyone has the opportunity to work and shine.
