A Unique Initiative by JCI Dhaka West to Promote Inclusion of Specially-Abled and Disabled Youth

A four-day special workshop titled Project Third Eye 2.0 was jointly organized by Junior Chamber International (JCI) Dhaka West and the Dhaka University Support for Students with Disabilities, with the objective of ensuring inclusion of specially-abled individuals in various sectors of society.

Project Third Eye 2.0, emphasized on developing the professional skills of specially-abled and disabled youth, empowering them to become capable and strong leaders in society. The core objective of this initiative is to increase employment opportunities and ensure accessibility for specially-abled and person with disability to promote inclusive recruitment processes—ultimately helping remove widespread stereotypes and misconceptions in society.

The project Third Eye launched in 2024. The closing ceremony of this project was held on 18 October 2025 (Saturday) at the Faculty of Arts Building, University of Dhaka. A total of 25 visually-impaired, physically, and disabled students from the University of Dhaka and the National University participated in the program.

Certificates were awarded to all trainees, and special honors were presented to everyone involved in organizing the event by Md Altamis Nabil, JCI Bangladesh 2025 National Executive Vice President. He stated that JCI Bangladesh believes Project Third Eye 2.0 is not just a local initiative—it is a sincere commitment to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a proactive step toward building a more inclusive world. He highly appreciated and praised this remarkable initiative of JCI Dhaka West.

Under the guidance and patronization of Sujaur Rahman Emon, 2025 Local President of JCI Dhaka West, all activities of the project were successfully executed. He stated that at JCI Dhaka West, we believe that the greatest wealth of the world lies within humanity itself. Project Third Eye 2.0 is not merely a training program; it is an effort to unlock the indomitable confidence and hidden potential of specially-abled youth. The skills they have acquired will undoubtedly illuminate their professional journey and mark a strong step toward building an equitable and inclusive society.

Project Director Ahmed Wazedul Haque Khan said, “Project Third Eye 2.0 is not just a workshop or a project; it is a vital movement in transforming the corporate culture of Bangladesh. We believe that physical or any other limitations can never limit one’s dreams. These young individuals are now prepared to lead corporate sectors based on their talent and merit.”

Under the supervision of Audrika Eshna Purbasha, Local Vice President of JCI Dhaka West, Project Director Ahmed Wazedul Haque Khan, and Project Lead Jobayer Ahmed accomplished and carried out the project with tremendous success.
