Bharath, a physically challenged boy from Thiruvallur district, faced bullying from his classmates due to his disability. He joined the Nest Children’s Parliament as the Minister for the Welfare of the Differently Abled. Initially, Bharath remained silent despite his new role, hesitant to speak up about his struggles.

Over time, however, Bharath gained the courage to share his experiences of being bullied at school. This sparked an initiative within the Children’s Parliament to create awareness about the importance of respecting differently-abled individuals. Together, they developed and performed a skit focused on anti-bullying and inclusion, which had a profound impact on the community. The skit not only led Bharath’s classmates to apologize to him but also received appreciation from the ward members of Thiruvallur district.

Bharath’s journey did not stop there. Starting at the neighborhood level, he showed remarkable growth in confidence and leadership. Inspired by the change he had created, Bharath chose to step up and serve at a higher level, successfully becoming the District Minister for the Welfare of the Differently Abled.
