The year 1991 benchmarked the intervention of AVARD into a new sector i.e. Rehabilitation of differently abled in our operational area. Our efficient team diagnosed the importance to work for the betterment of differently abled. We were able to light a ray of hope in their lives to dream about tomorrow and live for future. The rehabilitation program is being implemented through a two dimensional approach.
1. We organize them into small Self Help Groups known as SARGA (Specially Abled and Rehabilitated Ganams of AVARD).
2. The SLF programme provides assistance in the health, education, social, livelihood and capacity strengthening for the children up to the age of 25.
The rehabilitation program of the differently abled persons has been a continuing dynamic process since 1991, intending to promote self-dependency by organizing programs for them. It is extended across Chalakudy Municipality and 5 Panchayaths around Chalakudy in 23 SARGAs with 223 members.
SARGA (Specially Abled and Rehabilitated Ganams of AVARD)
One of the major activities of RDA department is formation and maintaining of SARGA. There are 23 SARGA groups functioning under the leadership of AVARD. The objective of SARGA is the effective social rehabilitation of the differently. The regular meetings, sharing and gatherings create a positive bonding in them which enable them to sustain a progressive socio-economic status. The urge to become part of the mainstream of the society will empower them to fight for their humanitarian rights assured by the constitution. The coordinators visit houses of each member.
