Godrej DEI Lab and Khaitan& Co joined forces to mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities by unveiling the second edition of Khaitan& Co’s Handbook on Rights of Persons with Disabilities at the Disability Inclusion Summit in Mumbai. The handbook aims to guide organizations toward a purpose-driven approach to workplace inclusion for persons with disabilities (PwDs).
“This milestone reinforces our dedication to creating equitable corporate environments,” said Parmesh Shahani, Head of Godrej DEI Lab. The handbook, he added, offers insights to help organizations evolve beyond compliance toward meaningful inclusion.
The handbook provides legal guidance on critical legislations such as the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017. It also offers actionable strategies for inclusive hiring, accessibility, and accommodations. In Guwahati, this initiative could inspire local industries to adopt best practices in disability inclusion. With Guwahati emerging as a commercial hub, fostering accessible workplaces could bolster the city’s reputation as a progressive business destination.
