Support the Education & Skilling of underprivileged /disabled children

VISHWAS is a not for profit organization working in the field of disability and Inclusive development. Our programmes are rooted in our fundamental belief in equal opportunity and inclusion. We believe that everyone has the right to access basic health care, education and livelihood options, irrespective of disability, gender, class or caste.

VISHWAS Vidyalaya is a recognised inclusive elementary school from Nursery to Grade VIII. We work for holistic development of the children with a strong belief in Equal opportunity and Inclusion. Children from the marginalised sections including those with disabilities are our beneficiaries. According to the Right to Education Act, schools have to admit children in age appropriate classes irrespective of their academic level. At VISHWAS we focus on bridging this gap by creating a positive and inclusive learning environment for ALL children (with and without disabilities). To help the children reach school, we have two school buses that are fitted with hydraulic lifts which ensure the transport of children with mobility issues and others in a safe and dignified manner.

English Medium: From academic year 2023-24, we have introduced English as a medium of instruction for grades I to V. For the higher grades starting VI, it will be done next year onwards in a graded manner.

Music Sessions: Music sessions have been introduced for the all students of VISHWAS from grades Nursery to VIII and Skill Development Group. Students are learning Vocal and Instrumental Music. The morning assembly and celebrations have become livelier. 

VISHWAS Skill development and training programme :Livelihood options and life skills are essential for everyone, not only because they enable independence, but also because they help to improve self-esteem and lead to a life of dignity and respect. All adults have a right to take control of their lives and exercise choices to select their personal preferences and livelihood. The programme caters to young adults and adults with disabilities in the age group 14-25 years.
