Purple Fest stands as an exemplary step taken by the Goa government in its unwavering commitment to the empowerment of individuals with disabilities. In alignment with the vision of our Hon'ble Prime Minister, Narendra Modi ji, for an 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India), Purple Fest embodies a significant stride towards inclusivity, equal opportunity, and self-reliance for all. I wholeheartedly commend the Goa Government for its tireless efforts in fostering a society that truly understands and values the importance of inclusion.

I must commend the Government of Goa for the exceptional initiative like Purple Fest - 2023. This event served as a beacon of progress and inclusivity, with its Purple Think Tank and Purple Convention sessions. These discussions, covering a wide array of topics like education and employment, added immense value by fostering meaningful knowledge exchange between experts and beneficiaries. I am confident that Purple Fest will continue to inspire positive change for years to come.

I am absolutely thrilled to witness the beginning of such a transformative movement like Purple Fest in India. I was very happy to see so many disabled people everywhere during the Purple Fest. It made disabled people look normal. What touched me even more deeply was how my 4-year-old son absorbed valuable life lessons naturally. He began creating space for wheelchair users, guiding blind individuals, and offering assistance like providing a straw for people with cerebral palsy to drink water. These are lessons we never explicitly taught him; he learned them through his experiences at Purple Fest. What can be made better is how to make the event autism friendly.

I was deeply touched by the accessible Miramar beach and the remarkable efforts made by the Goa Government to ensure that Purple Fest was an inclusive event for all. The Purple Fest model is nothing short of inspiring, and I wholeheartedly believe it should be replicated in different states across the country. It warms my heart to see disability being celebrated for the first time.
