Dear Friends and supporters, we finally did it! As already announced in our last update, we have started an IT enabled skills training center for persons with disability (PwD).
On the path of providing sustainable livelihood solutions to impoverished and disadvantaged groups of our society, Anudip has, with the help of our generous donors, opened two community based new MAST centers in remote areas of South 24 Parganas and Paschim Medinipur. The training will support and promote PwD students over a period of three months where they will be trained in basic IT, workplace readiness and English.
West Bengal alone has more than 20 lakh PwDs; according to the census 2011. Due to a variety of societal barriers, persons with disabilities are over represented among the poor, are more likely than non-disabled persons to be excluded from education, productive employment and decent work, health services, economic and financial resources, infrastructure and participation in all aspects of society. Persons with disability in India face many challenges when looking to develop employable skills and in gaining meaningful employment in conditions of decent work.
Anudip’s plan towards promoting inclusive growth for persons with disability is its step towards scaling up activity. Anudip has opened two centers in two villages in Canning and Balichouk of South 24 Parganas and West Midnapor district respectively. This will be a first initiative towards developing this exclusive program, in which Anudip hopes to reach more and more people to help them in changing their lives for better.
Thank you for your ongoing support
