He was born with spina bifida. Abidi first had surgery at the age of eight to treat his spina bifida. As a result, he suffered nerve damage.[1] He required another surgery at the age of 10 after an injury from a fall.[1] He moved with his family to the United States. After their move to the United States, Abidi received medical care at the Boston Children's Hospital and the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. Abidi began using a wheelchair at age fifteen. Abidi studied at Wright State University. In 1989, he moved to India to pursue a career in journalism.[8] Involvement in disability awarenessIn 1993, he started working for Sonia Gandhi, creating and building the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation's Disabilities Unit.[9] A year later, Javed Abidi joined a small advocate group called the Disability Rights Group and started raising awareness for the disabled people of India. A large pro-disability rights movement arose, with the goal of getting the Parliament of India to implement a bill of rights for the disabled. Javed Abidi led a protest before Parliament on 19 December 1995. The protest pushed Parliament into passing the Persons with Disabilities Act[10] on 22 December 1995. In 2004, his letter to Chief Justice of India addressed the accessibility of polling booths for persons with disabilities. Supreme Court of India[11] Involvement in the NCPEDPThe Rajiv Gandhi Foundation created the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People in 1995 and appointed Abidi as its director. Abidi collaborated with business executives from IBM, Apple Inc., Oracle Corporation, Cisco Systems, Microsoft, and Hewlett-Packard to employ disabled individuals in these companies and in the high-tech industry in general. In 2000, Abidi urged the Archaeological Survey of India to install wheelchair ramps at various prominent monuments, including the Red Fort, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, and Jantar Mantar. The impetus for the ramps was to accommodate Stephen Hawking while he visited these sites. For the next two years, Abidi and the NCPEDP focused on accessibility for the disabled, publishment of disability issues, and work opportunities for the disabled. DeathAbidi died on 4 March 2018 from a chest infection.[12] References1. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/disability-rights-crusader-javed-abidi-dies-at-53/articleshow/63160165.cms|title=Disability rights crusader Javed Abidi dies at 53 - Times of India|work=The Times of India|access-date=2018-06-17}} 2. ^https://www.pressreader.com/india/the-times-of-india-mumbai-edition/20180305/281921658549036 3. ^http://nadindia.org/Articles/4402 4. ^[https://archive.is/20130126011941/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Demand-made-for-legal-recognition-of-sign-language/Article1-634161.aspx Demand made for legal recognition of sign language], Hindustan Times, 4 December 2010 5. ^Disabled demand change in mindsets, Times of India, 3 December 2010 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.ashoka.org/fellow/2550|title=Javed Abidi Profile at 'Ashoka: Innovators for the Public'|publisher=|accessdate=5 March 2018}} 7. ^https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jnudpa/-OWJT9xwlyc 8. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/How-Change-World-Entrepreneurs-Updated/dp/0195334760|title=How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas, Updated Edition|first=David|last=Bornstein|date=17 September 2007|publisher=Oxford University Press|accessdate=5 March 2018|via=Amazon}} 9. ^ {{dead link|date=March 2018}} 10. ^https://sites.google.com/a/nileshsingit.org/indian-disability-laws/disability-legislation-in-india 11. ^{{cite news|title=Will India’s elections ever be disabled-friendly?|url=http://www.dnis.org/print_features.php?features_id=96|newspaper=D.N.I.S}} 12. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-43283337|title=Tributes paid to India disability activist|date=2018-03-05|work=BBC News|access-date=2018-03-11|language=en-GB}} External links
