Big changes always happen with the smallest steps

At times, when we start looking at too big a space or a task, the very fact may be extremely daunting. It means that we will not even take the first step towards that goal if we are too overwhelmed at the start itself

A Dadar resident is spearheading an initiative to make his immediate environs more accessible to wheelchair users. A report in this paper stated how the young man, a wheelchair user himself, has kickstarted a project along with supporters to ensure that footpaths are disabled-friendly so that wheelchairs and even those on crutches can negotiate them with some ease.

The project is within a housing colony but these are baby steps and eventually, more parts of Mumbai could be covered. The same report cited a Non-Governmental Organisation working in the space for inclusivity with founders speaking about project completion in a western suburb with more on the anvil.
What is key here is the baby steps approach. We need to bat for inclusivity for all, but we can begin small. We can focus on our immediate surroundings and push for change with a small support group.
