This role reversal brings about a radical change in the mindset of visitors, leaving them with the understanding that people with disabilities need economically empowering opportunities, not sympathy, it said.

The objective of the DID is to break the stigma, prejudices, myths, and misconceptions associated with disability and to promote social inclusion of persons with disabilities. It is a unique sensory experience that allows participants to explore darkness using their four senses and is recognized as one of the most successful social experiments in the world, the press release said.
