2nd November 2003 saw a new turn in the history of match making with BharatMatrimony.com and Lions Club Presidency organizing a special “Swayamvar” for the physically challenged. The meet was organised at the Spastic Society of India, Bandra. The marriage meet offered the physically challenged an unexplored opportunity to meet their prospective life partners.Since the people looking for the match were those with special needs, the search was on for a partner who would understand those needs and be a completing factor in their lives. Around 200 physically challenged people registered for the “Swayamvar” and as the day progressed, quite a lot of them exchanged numbers and kundlis.

Mr. Sunil Dutt, actor, politician and social worker par excellence graced the occasion as Chief Guest. The other special guest of the evening was the dashing Captain Partho Das of the Maritime Foundation.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Murugavel Janakiraman, the Chief Executive Officer of BharatMatrimony.com said, "This is the first time a social initiative of this kind has been taken up in the country that brings physically challenged brides and grooms together to choose their perfect life partner. We received a very enthusiastic response from about five hundred participants and we are happy to help them make the most important decision of their lives. BharatMatrimony.com is a socially responsible corporate committed to making marriages happen, for all sections of society through all media be it online, offline, print, or electronic."

Ln. Sandeep Sharma, the Project Director from The Lions Club of Mumbai Presidency, remarked "We appreciate and take great delight in being associated with this initiative that aims to make a difference to society, under the aegis of BharatMatrimony.com. We are sure this thoughtful gesture will go a long way in serving the physically challenged, giving them a choice to find their perfect life partner. I take immense pleasure in inviting them to be an integral part of this memorable Marriage Meet. I also request BharatMatrimony.com to keep up the good work and to continue to be a trendsetter in encouraging other corporates to understand the value of such social initiatives.”
