Amar Seva Sangam
In its journey of four decades of service to the people with disability, Amar SevaSangam’s objective has always been to rehabilitate PwDs through education, employment and empowerment so that they become economically productive citizens and join the mainstream society. The NGO has been providing homes for poor children with disabilities with free accommodation, food, clothing, medical care, appliances, and education, including Skill development through Vocational Training and Employment programs. They continue to create awareness among the public, by sensitizing key stakeholders with the support of NGOs, Government Departments, Rehab Centres and professionals, who in turn advocate for policies and reforms for non-discrimination and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities leading to successful community participation and coordination of self-help groups for the sustenance of PwDs.
Padma Shri Mr. S. Ramakrishnan, Founder President of Amar Seva Sangam, said, “Early Intervention and enabling inclusion for children by rehabilitating and empowering over 6000 of them across five districts of Tamil Nadu besides four states of India, has been a meaningful and fulfilling one. In this context, we have to thank the Government of Tamil Nadu for its support and absorbing the technology and model of Enabling Inclusion in three districts of Tenkasi, Tirunelveli and Tuticorin and implementing the same through Amar SevaSangam catering to more than 3000 Children with Disabilities under age 6 in these districts. Celebrating this journey with the launch of ‘SamagraSiksha’ and a new logo for our digital rehab platform, only adds more significance to this milestone occasion. We consider this as our humble contribution, not only to the State of Tamil Nadu but to India in its 75th year of Independence.”
