Disability India Network

You and the Disability India Network

There are many Non Government Organizations working in the sphere of providing facilities and services for persons with disabilities, yet there is no comprehensive data available for the ready reference of professionals and parents seeking access to this information. Even some of us, active in this line of work, have often felt the information gap - where and what is being done across the country? This need has been felt time and again.

To fill this gap, and to provide countrywide support and services to disabled children, their parents and organizations, we have set up the Disability India Network to work as a one-stop portal for disability related issues in India.

The Network is managed by the Society for Child Development, a registered non-governmental national level organization. The Network has a dynamic Register of Services that is free for the use of all - Nationally and internationally. Thus, organizations have the benefit of being accessible to those who require their services within the country, and additionally, have the advantage of being visible to the world outside. Organizations already on the web, with their web sites, have the supplementary convenience of a link, enhancing their site visibility. More than 3000 organizations are already part of this growing database.

An interactive Discussion Board provides a platform for debates on topical issues.

The Disability India Journal is a quarterly e-journal that presents original articles on thematic issues.
