New Delhi: The Office of Accessible Education at IIT Delhi organised NISHAAN 2025, a cultural event that celebrated the creativity, diversity, and talent of students with disabilities.

The event offered an inclusive platform for students with disabilities to exhibit their abilities through various cultural activities, including music, dance, drama, painting, photography, as well as poetry and essay performances.

This year, NISHAAN welcomed the participation of students with disabilities from colleges across Delhi, further reinforcing its commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The dance and music segments featured captivating performances by participants from all colleges, who delivered both dynamic and graceful displays. Additionally, the wordsmith category presented poems from participants that engaged the audience. The event also celebrated artistic excellence in photography and painting/drawing categories.

A standout moment of NISHAAN was the performance by the ‘We Are One Dance Group,’ consisting of artists who are all persons with locomotor and hearing disabilities. Through their dance, they conveyed a powerful message of diversity and inclusion. Their compelling performance thoroughly impressed everyone.

NISHAAN 2025, which was held on January 12, 2025, concluded with a heartfelt vote of thanks from the faculty advisors of the Office of Accessible Education (Office of Diversity & Inclusion) to the audience for supporting the talent, passion, and dedication of all participants.

Following the success of NISHAAN 2025, the Office of Accessible Education is now preparing for SANGAM 2025, an inclusive sports event for students with disabilities, scheduled for March.
