Samarthanam through this project is trying to create an enabling environment for the promotion of enrollment & retention of Children with Disabilities (CWD) for education. The need of the hour is to provide education opportunity to CWD and those from the bottom of the pyramid in a non-discriminatory environment.

The project will encourage CWD to take up higher studies without having to worry about the cost of living in a metro city, thereby reducing the economic burden on their families.
