Saksham - Empowerment of People with Disabilities

Empowered 18,000+ People with Disabilities

In 2014, Spark Minda Group launched a programme “Saksham” to ensure sustainability in the lives of People with Disabilities (PwDs) by adding a holistic approach to the programme. It augments the Accessible India Campaign (Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan) of the Ministry of Persons with Disabilities. Moreover, it supplements the United Nation’s Sustainable Development 8, 9, 10 and 17 Goals.

Empowerment Of People With Disability Camp

Spark Minda Group’s endeavour is that every person in the country is treated fairly and is empowered. We organise empowerment camps at different locations with the aim to reach PwDs for providing accessible and assistive aids, facilitating UDID registration, providing employment opportunities and skill trainings. Our aim is to build an inclusive and harmonious society. We want people to believe that it is not the disability that counts but the abilities that they have matters.

Skilling And Employment

To ensure sustenance in the lives of PwDs the programme also assists with the employment needs. With the collaboration of multiple NGOs, we have employed more than 1000+ PwD employees in Spark Minda Group (SMG) after providing them with full-fledged training. Along with the training for the job, we also provide them with safety training to save themselves during emergencies or mishaps.
