Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Karnataka is planning to sign an MoU with the ‘Disability NGO Alliance’ (DNA) to address the challenges of corporate engagements in the social/NGO sector for disability.
The MoU is expected to be signed during the conference ‘Engage Ability’ to address the challenges of corporate engagements for disability. CII plans to host an event called ‘Sangam’ during the month of February 2016 in Bengaluru.
“The alliance will provide a broad umbrella for activities and help their member organizations to effectively work in the disability sector,” said Aroon Raman, Convenor, CII CSR Panel.
Raman further said “CII Karnataka has identified several broad areas like capacity building of NGOs where we can recognize successful NGOs, look into their plans and necessities, and identify the areas for CSR.”
CII Karnataka has already done fair amount of work and has identified many areas for CSR. It has also plans to sign an MoU with Disability NGO Alliance with the aim of making Karnataka the number one employer of people with disabilities.
V S Basavaraj, Executive Director, APD, and Secretary, DNA said “As a launch of the partnership, CII & DNA have conceived and put together an event relevant to both sectors and providing a long term annual platform for stakeholders to meet discuss, review and plan their efforts. The government of India has responded by deputing three of its senior most IAS officers for Engage Ability 2015.”
He pointed out that there are several stakeholders in promoting the goal of a disability-inclusive society. DNA comes with an in-depth study of the challenges faced by various stakeholders
