Magazine on Disability: The Voice of FOD
THE VOICE OF FOD is the oldest project undertaken by the Family of Disabled. It was introduced with an aim to create awareness among the masses and make them sensitive about the various aspects of disability and about the people living with them.
Periodicals or magazines on variety of subjects catering to almost every section of society like cooking, women, men, sports, politics, health, businessare readily available. But it is quite difficult to find a journal on disability, thus leaving discontented the literate population amongst the 10-crore disabled people, their associates and those interested in the issue of disability.
THE VOICE, was being published biannually since the inception of FOD in 1992. In the year 2009 it was adapted into a quarterly format and has been able to reach out to those people who for decades have been looking for a comprehensive publication on disability and has succeeded in assuaging their demand and need. It is the first publication of its kind in India.
THE VOICE covers various disability-related issues and contains information about different organisations working in this field, success stories, inspiring interviews, poems, books and movie reviews, classifieds, events, news, etc. "Each of the well-received edition of THE VOICEin India and abroad contains latest information and interesting material on disability."
The publication, considered to be educative, instructive and informative in nature has improved in quality and quantity and this has gradually led to an increase in its readership too.
