About NAB India Centre for Blind Women
The NAB India Centre for Blind Women & Disability Studies has the vision to empower and rehabilitate visually impaired women across the country.
Poverty and blindness make women both social & family outcasts, deeply vulnerable, and in a state of deprivation. We provide training to such visually impaired women to impart skills that help them lead a life of dignity and socio-economic independence. ​
Since the establishment of the NAB India Centre for Blind Women & Disability Studies in the year 2002, the Centre has impacted the lives of over 14000 blind women by upskilling them.
Women from across the country and neighboring countries walk into the Centre to get trained with a hope to reshape their life and prepare themselves for the tough world out there.
