Breaking Barriers: Srikanth Screening by the Youth of India Foundation Ignites Hope in the Divyang Community

On June 17, 2024, the Youth of India Foundation, with support from Sulochana Mansi Jajodia, Chairperson of the Advisory Board, hosted a special screening of the biographical film Srikanth for the Divyang community. This event is part of the Foundation's ongoing efforts to promote inclusivity and support marginalized communities by sharing stories of determination and success.

Srikanth tells the inspiring story of Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired entrepreneur who faced and overcame significant challenges to create Bollant Industries. Coming from a small village in Andhra Pradesh, Srikanth encountered numerous barriers, yet his relentless determination and innovative thinking led him to achieve success against the odds. His journey is a testament to how resilience and vision can turn challenges into opportunities.

For the Divyang community, the screening was more than just a movie—it was a deeply personal experience. Srikanth’s story resonated strongly with many in the audience, mirroring their own struggles and triumphs. The film didn’t just inspire; it created a shared sense of understanding and belonging, reinforcing the idea that those with special abilities do not have to miss out on the larger sense of life.?

The audience’s reaction to the film underscored its meaningful impact, highlighting how closely the story aligned with their own lives. This event exemplifies the Youth of India Foundation’s commitment to creating spaces where narratives of resilience and success can motivate and empower, helping individuals to see that they, too, can overcome challenges and achieve their goals.

"As a member of the Divyang community, Srikanth felt like our own story on screen. Seeing how Srikanth faced and overcame his challenges made us believe in our own potential. We're really grateful to the Youth of India Foundation for bringing this inspiring experience to us."

"Srikanth was more than just a movie for us; it was a reminder that we can achieve great things too. The film’s message of never giving up really hit home. Thanks to the Youth of India Foundation for making this happen and for always being there to support our growth."
