Stenography

In early eighties, we were the first in the NGO sector to take up training in Braille shorthand and typewriting, in both Hindi and English. This has helped in creating a totally new employment possibility for persons with visual impairment, for whom such an avenue was viewed as inaccessible in the country, when we took up this activity in 1982. Hundreds of educated blind persons have received training and a large number of blind men and women have been placed in Govt. departments, nationalized banks and public sector undertakings.

11 out of the placed blind stenographers were adjudged the best employees in their departments and they also received National Awards from the Govt. of India for their outstanding performance. Currently, the organization is imparting training only in Hindi stenography and computer typing.

The programme is sponsored by Wipro/CAF.
