Aakar Initiative Empowers Disabled Children in Chhattisgarh

Chhattisgarh’s non‑government organization Aakar has launched a focused effort to equip children with disabilities with practical skills that promote independence. The initiative provides tailored training sessions, ranging from daily‑living techniques to vocational crafts, allowing participants to perform routine tasks without constant assistance.

According to Aakar’s coordinators, the program emphasizes hands‑on learning and peer support, creating an environment where children can practice new abilities in a safe setting. Regular assessments track progress, ensuring that each child receives personalized guidance aligned with their capabilities.

Early feedback indicates increased confidence among the children and greater involvement of families in the rehabilitation process. Aakar plans to expand the model to additional districts, aiming to reach more disabled youngsters across the state.
