Seva In Action Association

A volunteer organisation called Seva-in-Action (SiA) was founded in 1985 with the goals of empowering people with disabilities and establishing fair o Read morepportunities for an inclusive society. Upon recognising the significant disparity between the required and available services, SiA initiated a rehabilitation program for children with disabilities (CWDs). Close collaboration with local communities was maintained as they developed and executed services that were economically, socially, and culturally appropriate, utilising a comprehensive approach. The goal of the entire program is to demystify and transmit technology at the community level in ways that are relevant and easy to understand. In our nation, finding employment possibilities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities has proven to be quite difficult. SiA is concentrating on developing skills to improve access to chances for earning a living through wage work or self-employment. SiA is a member of the MSJE GOI Central Advisory Board for Disability (CABD), which advises the central government on the implementation of the RPD 2016. SiA is also a member of the Karnataka Samagra Shikshana EC committee (SS-K). SiA has served on several state and federal bodies that create training initiatives and policies.

SiA's vision is to deliver comprehensive and inclusive services to persons with disabilities by creating accessible, affordable, appropriate and quality services towards ensuring their rights and full potential. Its mission is to empower differently abled persons by creating an enabling environment and ensuring equity and opportunities.

SiA has served on several central and state government committees to develop policies and training programs. It is a member of the Central Advisory Board for Disabilities which advises the government on implementing the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016.
