Ketaki Bardelai is the driving force behind the North East (NE) region Disability Law Unit (DLU) and was instrumental in organising a workshop on disability issues for lawyers in Guwahati in July. She is an Honours graduate in Economics and worked in the advertising industry for many years. After marriage she moved from Kolkata to Guwahati where she soon made her presence known, setting up her own marketing and advertising agency. Then, following a project helping out a friend, she was asked to join Shishu Sarothi, where she has worked ever since. She speaks to DNIS about her involvement in the disability sector and her role in the NE region DLU.
