At Vidya Sagar ........
It is people who count, not the disability

It is a registered trust under the Tamil Nadu societies act and donations are eligible for exemption under section 80 G of the Income Tax Act. 

Started in 1985 by the mother of a child with disability, Vidya Sagar is known today for the quality and range of programs, it’s “professionalism with care” and the pro-active and positive spirit of its team of staff and children. 

The 22 year old organization focuses on the holistic development and education of children and adults with special needs, on demystification of disability, empowering persons with special needs and their families with knowledge and skills, while strongly advocating on issues of inclusion. The organization believes in the right to equality of opportunity, an inclusive society where differences are celebrated, that disability is a development and a human rights issue. 

What sets us apart is our belief that all disabled persons (no matter how profound the disability) have a right to education and rehabilitation. 

Vidya Sagar has pioneered parent training programs that are suited to Indian conditions and today at any given time through work reaches out to over 3,000 families who have children with special needs. Vidya Sagar’s services take the life-span approach. New projects have evolved over the years to suit the diverse needs of a special population growing up. Three years ago Vidya Sagar took on work with mental health.
