Spinal Cord Injury Continues to plague folks in rural Karnataka. During the last 4 months the SCI Count in our project area went up to 131. Apart from providing Aids & Appliances to these victims, the project also provides therapeutical interventions including psychological counselling to get them back to normal lives and ensure they get back into a productive life and able to earn a decent income.
