Our Association has successfully completed 21 years of service to our society. The growth during the past 21 years has been recognized and appreciated from several quarters including the Government, Social Organizations and the public in general.
These appreciations are reflected by the continuous help of several persons to the association in the functioning and then constantly fulfilling demands from the Visually Challenged Children
IAB has rehabilitated more than 5,000 visually challenged girls, boys, men, women and families making them stand on their own and in several cases to support their families. There have been challenges, frustrations, inspirations, encouragements, recognitions, right through. These are detailed in the Annexure. IAB has traveled a long way, removing thorns and bushes, paving the path for lesser willed thousands to follow.
We believe that a person who is blind or visually impaired has the right to receive instruction in all aspects of his/her life in order to learn the skills necessary to reach his/her full potential. The Indian Association for the Blind continues to promote the full continuum of service options for the blind or visually impaired. We believe that the services provided should be all encompassing and based on individual strengths and needs and what is most appropriate at the specific time.
I.A.B. wants a particular place in the world in which people with visual impairment enjoy the same rights, freedoms, responsibilities and quality of life of people who are fully sighted
