‘This is not a marketing event. At Anjali, nothing is merely an event or activity for us. Everything carries a deeper strategic purpose aimed at ending discrimination against persons with psychosocial disabilities. This cake-mixing activity was organised with social contact theory in mind, enabling wider society to interact with the residents of Pratyay,’ shared Ratnaboli
‘We are working to develop livelihood enterprises for the residents of Pratyay. Our baking unit is in its initial stages, and residents are currently undergoing training. This event is intended to encourage them to showcase what they are learning,’ said Piya Chakraborty, a mental health rights activist and head of the Voices programme at Anjali
