BENGALURU, October 22, 2025 — As the calendar turns toward the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) on December 3rd, Rotary Bangalore Abilities is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated return of its flagship event: the 7th Edition of the IDPD Unsung Hero Awards.
This prestigious award serves as a pivotal platform to celebrate and recognize the extraordinary individuals from the Persons-with-Disabilities (PwD) community whose remarkable achievements, inspiring perseverance, and selfless contributions often go unnoticed by the mainstream.
“We believe that true heroes are often found where the spotlight doesn’t shine,” says Rtn. Kameshwari Rao, President of Rotary Bangalore Abilities. “The Unsung Hero Awards are our commitment to correcting that, providing these deserving individuals with the recognition and encouragement they need to continue their incredible work. We are counting on the community’s continued support and expertise to help us find truly deserving individuals this year.”
