India's First Wheelchair Model, Virali Modi On Mobility Issues

India's first wheelchair model and founder of #MyTrainToo, Virali Modi, participated in the panel discussion during the launch of Samarth by Hyundai, in partnership with NDTV. She shed light on the lack of inclusive transportation in the railway sector for People with Disabilities (PwDs). Ms. Modi pointed out that, due to financial constraints, many PwDs must rely on trains as they cannot afford air or car travel. Expressing her concerns, she questioned the lack of accessibility and the scrutiny faced by PwDs on trains, emphasising their right to dignity and integrity.
