In India, 2.68 crore individuals, constituting 2.21% of the population, are classified as ‘disabled’. At the Bridge Center, our mission is to bridge the gap between children with disabilities and mainstream education. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment within Government School premises, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Need Base India collaborates with Samartha Trust to provide opportunity to children and people living with disabilities overcome barriers, and they are given just and fair opportunities in society. This is made possible by promoting inclusive education and social integration. Since 2019, NBI and Samartha Trust have been transforming the lives of underprivileged people with disabilities. At Chaluvadi Palya in urban Bangalore, we run extensive programs which include:
