Vridhi was started with the idea that “Clinical care” alone is not sufficient for the Person with Disabilities. It is also required to have a comprehensive rehabilitation program including skill training to make them economically independent. It would encourage the differently-abled people for social participation and independent dignified living as well as create a consciousness in the society for social security and justice for the differently-abled people.
