Empowering the Differently-abled
GMRVF has taken up many initiatives to integrate disability with community services, such as facilitating special education for children with disabilities, aids and appliances and physiotherapy services, and facilitating access to entitlements etc. The Foundation also sensitizes the community towards the needs of Persons with Disabilities to help inclusion of the differently-abled into the mainstream.
