Samir Kakkad
Samir was diagnosed with Polio which led to 80% disability below the chest as well as both the limbs. However, he did not let his disability come in the way of his passion of driving automobiles. He used his engineering skills to specialize in modification of cars for the disabled. Since the last 25 years his organization SAIKA is working for design development of modified vehicles for the physically challenged and has also installed an Automobile Mobility Kit in hundreds of cars throughout PAN India. He is planning to promote a unique idea of “A Journey to Independency” by travelling from Ahmedabad to London with a modified accessible car.
