As Empowerfest 3.0 comes to a close, we celebrate not just an event, but a movement, one powered by the talent, resilience, and unstoppable spirit of persons with disabilities across Meghalaya. Over the past months, we have witnessed creativity unfold, stories come alive, athletes rise, artists express, filmmakers inspire, and communities come together with one shared belief: that inclusion is not an act of charity, but a celebration of human potential.
To every participant, performer, filmmaker, athlete, student, teacher, caregiver, parent, volunteer, partner organization, and supporter—thank you.

You have shown that empowerment is possible when opportunities are created and voices are amplified. Empowerfest 3.0 stands today as a testimony to the strength of collaboration, the commitment of CPwD and SRCDA, and the incredible passion of our disability community.

As we conclude this year’s festival, may the spirit of inclusivity continue beyond these halls. May every achievement today become a stepping stone for tomorrow.
Here’s to more stories, more talent, and more milestones as we continue building an inclusive Meghalaya—together.

In Indian cinema, most disabled characters are still played by non-disabled actors , reducing authenticity and reinforcing stereotypes. But things are beginning to change.

Aamir Khan’s upcoming film, Sitaare Zameen Par, casts 10 protagonists, some with Down syndrome and autism, played by actors with those lived conditions.

This is a big step toward real inclusion and Empowerfest 3.0 champions the same ethos: people with disabilities not just as characters, but as creators.

Only 2–2.4% of speaking characters in major films are portrayed as having a disability yet 27% of people in the U.S. live with one.

This gap shows us one thing: the stories on screen are not reflecting the world we live in.

EmpowerFest 3.0 is changing that by amplifying films rooted in real, lived disability experiences.

Today, on National Epilepsy Day, we stand together to raise awareness, break stigma, and support the millions of people living with epilepsy. 

Understanding seizures, knowing the 3 C’s (Calm, Cushion, Call), and listening to real stories can make a huge difference.

Let’s learn, support, and spread hope.

This year’s theme  reminds us that every story matters.
