An organisation aimed at making our society more accommodating towards people with disabilities- Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled has been operating in Bangalore since 1997. A visit to this place made me realise that my life is no different from the students there.
I got to witness a small but important part of this great organisation when I visited their centres at J P Nagar. They not only train the students in vocational skills but also aim at educating them, in order to make them independent. Often we are under the false impression that education may be a far-fetched option for people who are visually impaired and disabled, and the only way to empower them is by teaching them soft skills. Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled takes this a step further and prepares their students to face the world just like most of us.
