Current Affairs - Festivity - Discussion

Purple Fest 2025 was organised in Noida on 10–11 September 2025 by the Indian Sign Language Research and Training Centre (ISLRTC) in collaboration with Amity University. The event aimed to celebrate the dignity, creativity, and empowerment of Divyangjan, featuring art exhibitions, entrepreneurship stalls, cultural programs, and rehabilitation education. It promoted a rights-based perspective that views disability not as a limitation but as a source of strength, aligning with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. By bringing together policy, purpose, and participation, the festival reinforced the importance of equality, inclusion, and respect as fundamental rights for persons with disabilities.
