Rendering help to the candidates, experts spoke out about details of their bio-data, including education, work-profile and family status, for the brides and grooms and their family members, who were sitting in the audience.
“On the first day of the event the candidates introduced themselves from the stage. On the second day, talk between the candidates and their family members will continue. Over 50 more participants are expected to turn-up during the day,” Indore Deaf Bilingual Academy president Murlidhar Dhamani told TOI. The academy is run by Mook Badhir Sansthan.
Dhamani said that some candidates with leg and hand disabilities and a couple of candidates with no disability also participated in the event to find a suitable match for them. “Those candidates, who are not deaf and speech-impaired, have been advised to learn Indian sign-language to establish a communication with their life partner,” Dhamani said.
He said that Parichay Sammelan was a medium for people with disability to gather at a place and meet youths for marriage. They are further free and responsible to investigate about the participants, whom they select, to take the decision about their marriage.
The hearing and speech-impaired girl, Geeta, is expected to participate in the event and meet the candidates on Sunday.
“We have already obtained permission from the ministry of external affairs, but, it will totally depend on Geeta to introduce herself from the stage and meet the candidates,” Dhamani said.
Geeta had recently shortlisted 15 candidates out of 60 applications received against a ‘matrimonial ad’ posted on Facebook. Of them, six candidates had turned up in a Swayamwar, a sort of meeting, held on June 7 and 8. She had expressed wish to meet some more candidates before taking the important decision. Therefore, the local administration is making efforts to fix a meeting of her with the remaining candidates.
