The endeavour at LSR remains to foster life-long learning that embraces the ideals of social justice, equity and inclusivity. Several initiatives have been taken to ensure that students with disability can access facilities provided by the college. All the buildings are equipped with ramps for wheel chair access, hand rails and elevators. Wash rooms for students with disability are available both in the college and the Residence Hall. Important notices are put up in Braille. There is also a ‘buddy system’ through which students of the LSR community extend support to peers with disability, if needed. The ATM in college is accessible to all. Special scholarships and other financial support schemes facilitated by LSR and our alumna along with services provided by the Placement Cell extend further support to students with disabilities.
In collaboration with the KPMG Foundation, the college has set up a Resource centre Swavalamban for visually challenged students. The centre is equipped with assistive technology to create access to course material and provide learning aids. The entrance to the Resource Centre has tactile flooring.
REACH, the Equal Opportunities Cell of the college works in close collaboration with the Equal Opportunity Cell of Delhi University, to ensure that students have access to reading material, laptops and other recording devices provided by the University. REACH organises workshops on computer skills, soft skills and entrepreneurship and invites motivational speakers to encourage students to pursue their dreams. REACH has organized a series of disability sensitization workshops with the NSS affiliated NGOs to sensitize children on appropriate language to refer to people with disabilities, invisible disabilities sign language, etc. It has organized talks on learning disabilities, intersection of disability, gender and sexuality and developmental disabilities in the context of the Indian family. Furthermore, it regularly organizes informal discussions on relevant topics to foster integration and critical reflection among students.
