Running over 1,600 kilometres along India’s western coast, the Western Ghats are one of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth.

By: Shreekant Amrute हाल ही में, यूट्यूब पर एक वीडियो वायरल हुआ था, जिसमें एक इंटरव्यूअर एक दिव्यांग व्यक्ति का साक्षात्कार ले रहा था। इंटरव्यूअर बार-बार उस व्यक्ति की विकलांगता पर सवाल उठा रहा था, जिससे यह स्पष्ट था कि वह असहज महसूस कर रहा था। दिव्यांग व्यक्ति का साक्षात्कार करते समय, यह महत्वपूर्ण है कि आप सम्मानजनक और व्यावहारिक प्रश्न पूछें, जो उनकी यात्रा, रणनीतियों, और दृष्टिकोण पर केंद्रित हों, न कि केवल उनकी विकलांगता को एक बाधा के रूप में देखें। नीचे कुछ प्रकार के प्रश्न दिए गए हैं, उदाहरणों सहित, जिन्हें आप पूछ सकते हैं: उनकी यात्रा…
