Close to 6% of India’s population have some form of disability, and centres such as Sri Vidhya’s help meet the needs of this marginalized group. Given the right
inputs, a significant number of people with disabilities can become productive participants in society. But to achieve this in an effective and inclusive manner, we need to do more, with a higher level of commitment with more financial and other resources.

Our Plans for the future include:

• Getting our own premises to accommodate the growing needs of the school’s student population—both day-care and residential.
• A fully equipped vocational training centre
• A mini-bus to transport children and for picnics and excursions.
• State –of- the-art rehabilitation equipment
• Teaching tools and therapeutic aids.

Join in our network of support

Sri Vidhya has grown thus far because of the generous support of individuals and institutions that have shared resources; time and expertise. But the need far outweighs the ability to meet it. Contributions in cash and kind are welcome from those who believe that people with special needs deserve a chance for a better life.

You could also help in more specific ways:

• Support a Trained Teacher for one year with a donation of Rs.72000 (Rs.6000 per month)
• Support a Junior Teacher for one year with Rs.30000 (Rs.2500 per month)
• Provide for an Ayah’s salary with Rs.18000 (Rs.1500 per month)
• Sponsor a Student for one year by contributing Rs.7000
• Donate educational aids ; books and materials

A little help from you can help a person with mental retardation go a long way. Donations are tax exempt under Section 80-G of the Indian Income-Tax Act.
