About the Organisation

One in every 50, over 26 million individuals in India has Intellectual and
Developmental Disability (IDD). In spite of this colossal number, they are
stigmatized and are considered less deserving and are unable to access the
resources that they need to achieve their full potential. Within the disabilities space, IDD seems to be the most invisible. They continue to be excluded from India’s mainstream development narrative, experiencing widespread violations of their rights.
Founded in 1944, we are one of the oldest & largest not for profit institutes in India serving children & adults with Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Over the past 77 years, we have touched the lives of lakhs of children & their families.
We are committed to looking at each child with a belief in their potential to lead fuller and more inclusive lives.
We serve over 700 Individuals annually who have IDD and may have other related
disabilities such as autism, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, visual &/or hearing impairment.
We have our campus in Mumbai and rural branches at Deolali & Talegaon.

About Disha Abhiyan

Disha Abhiyan has been formed to initiate the much required systemic change. We
believe that each child is unique and every child learns differently. They may learn at different paces and have different styles but they all, without a doubt have the capability to learn.
The aim of the Disha Abhiyan is to provide a uniform curriculum, training and
support to special schools for Children with Intellectual and Developmental
Disability. Jai Vakeel has partnered with the Department of Social Justice & Special Assistance, Government of Maharashtra and Commissionerate of PwD, Maharashtra to implement Disha Abhiyan across all 36 Districts and 436 Special ID schools. The curriculum has been certified by NIEPID – National Institute for Empowerment of Persons with Intellectual Disability.
