To Empower Persons with Disability, enabling them to live their life with dignity and respect

Sarthak aims to empower persons with disability, enabling them to live their life with dignity and respect.

To achieve this vision of empowerment of persons with disability, Team Sarthak is geared to establish Sarthak Adarsh Kendras (Skill Building and Early Intervention Centers) across the nation.

Sarthak is aimed towards carving an equal stature for persons with disability by providing them a platform wherein they have equal access to opportunities and resources.

1. Early Intervention Center : Antakshep Kendra
Early prevention, identification and intervention are the three facets of Sarthak Antakshep Kendra. It involves identification of problem areas at the earliest and sensitisation of gynaecologists, paediatricians and health workers to control disability proneness for the babies at risk. Early intervention works for providing therapeutic aid to the children facing developmental delays.

2.Inclusive Education :
Sarthak, with the Government support works for enabling an environment for learning by sensitizing the teachers and parents to provide medical and social support to children with disability. The activities are focused on two major aspects of checking the drop-outs and inclusion of students in the school education.Various workshops for various stakeholders such as teachers, special educators, school principals, school management committees and parents of children with disability are also organized with the intent to build sensitivity for differently abled children.

3.Skill Development : Sarthak Kaushal Vikas Kendra
This programs provides youth with disabilities with a wide range of unique skill building experiences including leadership, social, communication, computers, and basic life skills. The 3 months training program is given in 3 broad verticals: IT - ITES, tourism and hospitality and organised retail to the youth in the age group of 18-30 years.

4.Sustainable Employment :
Sarthak adapts a threefold strategy to facilitate sustainable employment of differently-abled individuals. It involves job mapping, in-house placement openings, and job fair for people with disability.

5.Advocacy Activity :
Advocacy is the lynchpin of Sarthak efforts. As it sensitizes the corporate, candidates, and society that being differently-abled is just a challenge, and it does not always affect the capability of an individual.

6. NGO Capacity Building Program :
At Sarthak, we are not only restricted to catering to the needs of persons with disability directly, but also equipping existing change makers with better capacity and strength.

7. Accessible Event Management Support :
In its endeavour to create an inclusive world irrespective of any disability, Sarthak has recently entered into providing accessible event management support. The first such support was provided to Microsoft in organising their first ever accessibility summit in Hyderabad, on May 30, 2017.

The support aims at creating a barrier free environment, wherein, every nook and corner is considerate of accessibility requirements of persons with disability.

Sarthak Educational Trust is working since 2008 and in the last 10 years has successfully reached out to 1% (2.5 Lakh) of the disabled populace in India.  And, have successfully rehabilitated 825+ and 425+ children through Early Intervention and Inclusive Education centers respectively. Also, 9500, and 12,500 youth with disability have been provided vocational skills and employment support in the sectors of IT, BPO, Retail, Hospitality, Healthcare, E-Commerce, and Manufacturing. Furthermore, 100+ job fairs have been organized in 21 states to provide employment opportunities to those PwD candidates who are already skilled.
