Sponsoring of sports training centre for the visually challenged

Janta Rehabilitation Training Centre, established in 1996 is working for the welfare of the visually challenged. Its aim is to empower the visually handicapped to lead a normal life by teaching them skills free of charge.

For FY2022, their request was mainly related to sports which would help their beneficiaries to perform at state and national levels. This would provide them the platform for employment opportunities in the field of sports and thereby enable them to be independent.
