    What the NGOs Have Done For to Empower the People with Disabilities in India?

    In the first place, let us be clear with the term "disability".  A disability could be cognitive, physical, sensory, mental, emotion, and even combined form of all these - a person might be born with these disabilities or he/she might undergo the situation because of the accidents. WHO has defined Disabilities as an umbrella term wherein the impairments, active participation restrictions, and activity limitations are covered. So, disability is the limitation in one's ability to continue with an occupation due to mental or physical impairment.
     
    NGO Coming to the Rescue of the People with Disabilities
    Since disability is considered as a development issue, so the disabled people are at risk of being kept at bay from the mainstream social and economic opportunities. But like every problem having a solution, the specified NGO takes over the disability matter. Such people gain attention from scientific and medical features - the NGOs have been beside the disabled people for long. 
     
    Services Done for the Disabled People 
    The NGOs for people with disabilities have come as a great relief by providing great deal services to disabled youngsters and adults, along with their families.

    • Promoting non-profit seeking objectives of the disabled groups
    • Focussing on the programs and activities to provide empowerment and relief to the disabled and disadvantaged people.
    • Organizing activities to relieve the suffering and promoting the interest of the poor section of the society.
    • Organizing and executing community development programs to select the functional areas and gain membership apart from the regional confines
    • Taking the advantages of operational freedom in making decisions and not being controlled by the government.
    • Self-reliant with respect to the resources to pursue social programs. 
    • Exhibiting highest commitment degree to organize social service and involving the community in it.
     
     
    A big gap prevails in between the service needs in education, training, vocational training, and employment for disabled people. At the same time, the NGOs have even taken up greater responsibilities to provide financial assistance and necessary services to the disabled section.
