National Federation of the Blind of India

Training & Rehabilitation Centers: -

In this era of Globalization, Liberalization and new Technological Development, the job opportunities in Govt. and Public Sector are minimizing day by day. To counter this situation the Federation has opened training and rehabilitation centers in different parts of the country. In these centers the blind persons are imparted training in various trades and later their skills are used in production centers where a number of items are prepared by the blind themselves. The items are later sold in market by the Federation. The trainees are also paid stipend during the training period. These training centers are also preparing the blind for starting their own self-employment ventures. Presently the Federation is running this scheme on the following centers:
