The Awardees

CavinKare ABILITY Award for Eminence:

SAVITA SINGH Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh
SAVITA SINGH hails from a lower middle class family of a remote village in Uttar Pradesh. Having personally battled every stigma as a “girl child”, she went on to establish a residential school and a vocational training centre. She has gone beyond accepted norms of such a school to accept mentally disabled rape victims and guide them at every turn.

The CavinKare ABILITY Mastery Awards:

K. JANARTHANAN Chennai, Tamil Nadu
That talent transcends disability is a point well demonstrated by K.Janarthanan. He was severely burnt when an iron rod with which he was playing came into contact with a high tension electric line. Fighting all odds he has emerged as a well known mouth artist and graphic designer.

From being a successful man going about his busy life, to being totally on bed, Praveen Vyas has achieved multiple things. These include publishing a widely circulated newspaper and looking beyond his current successes to dream, among other things, of establishing a printing press in Phalodi, Rajasthan.
