Direct services to children
Classroom education, therapy sessions, and home-based teaching for enrolled families. This is roughly 70% of our annual operating budget.
Our Objectives
A comprehensive framework for disability rehabilitation and advocacy.
A Framework, Not A Wishlist
These eighteen objectives, grouped into five working categories, define what the Institute actually does — week by week, programme by programme. They were drawn up at the founding of the society in 1995 and remain the operational charter today. We measure ourselves against them every year.
- Conduct surveys to understand the prevalence of disabilities and propose actionable solutions.
- Establish assessment centres for evaluation and therapy guidance.
- Create information centres and libraries to disseminate research and rehabilitation literature.
- Work for the mainstreaming of persons with disabilities in education, training, and the economy.
- Raise public awareness about prevention and early intervention.
- Highlight the abilities and contributions of persons with disabilities.
- Guide parents through medical intervention and training programmes.
- Compile rehabilitation resources from across India and internationally.
- Offer financial assistance and scholarships to deserving students.
- Explore employment opportunities in government and private sectors.
- Establish sheltered workshops for skill development.
- Create aids and appliances manufacturing facilities.
- Produce educational literature and awareness materials.
- Publish books, journals, and brochures on disability topics.
- Conduct seminars, workshops, and exhibitions.
The Institute functions as a Voluntary Non-Profit Making Organisation, welcoming sponsored programmes that advance its disability-welfare mission while prioritising marginalised communities.
In action
Where We Focus First
Of the eighteen, three priorities take the largest share of our staff time and budget.
Community awareness & outreach
Door-to-door surveys, parent orientation camps, and the annual Disability Day event — reaching families before they reach us.
Capacity building & training
Training new educators and therapists for the wider state through partnerships with IGNOU and the Rehabilitation Council of India.
Be Part Of What Comes Next
Each of these eighteen objectives needs people, funds, or partnership to keep moving. There is a place for you in this work.
