- The festival strives to unite people and make the world a friendly and inclusive place for everyone. Dr. Virendra Kumar, the Union Minister for Social Justice & Empowerment, attended the opening ceremony and stopped by an exhibition and sale where Divyangjans-made goods were displayed (people with disabilities).
- From January 6 to January 8, 2023, there will be interesting panel discussions, artistic live performances, large displays, and immersive experience zones at "Purple Fest: Celebrating Diversity."
- Goa has a reputation for hosting extravagant New Year's parties, but with the launch of Purple Fest, the state is moving closer to empowering Divyangjans.
- It will substantially contribute to the aims and mark an important turning point in Divyangjan's empowerment. The Purple Fest's many events, including Purple Kaleidoscope, an art gallery, Purple Exhibition, a marketplace with aids for the blind, and Purple Bioscope, a showing of the film "86" with sign language interpreters, are designed to help people better appreciate the ideas.
- In conjunction with the Purple Fest in Goa, Union Minister Dr. Virendra Kumar opened a two-day sensitization session on "Issues relevant to the Empowerment of persons with Disabilities."
- To strengthen Divyangjan, the business, non-profit, and governmental sectors must work together to create a more inclusive society. This is the focus of the two-day workshop.
- To refer to people with impairments, the term "Viklang" was changed to "Divyaang" (divine body) in 2016.
