It’s always a great honour and a pleasure for Trinayani to be invited to various events and sessions where our Founder and Trustee – Ms Ritika Sahni beautifully enumerates why we do what we do.
It also gives us a chance to get acquainted with the work that is being conducted in the field by various institutions and helps us in using these opportunities for future collaborations and/or partnerships in the future. Above all, it also caters to maintaining existing and longstanding relationships with the respective hosts.
Here’s a peek into the various sessions that Ms Ritika Sahni attended:
Apart from all this, our founder-trustee Ritika Sahni was a TedEx speaker on 28th January 2017 at Oberoi International School on the theme Glass Ceilings- Break the Boundaries, where she spoke about how we need to crack the ceiling not break it, much like taking baby steps towards understanding and rethinking “normal” in society’s thinking
Trinayani also supported the All India Cross-Disability Matrimonial Meet organised by Voice Vision for 2 consecutive years in the month of January 2018-19. Voice Vision is headed by Sushmeeta Bubna and this unique initiative was taken up to provide a medium where people with different disabilities can meet their potential life partners.
