National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People

[1] The organization's philosophy is that society needs to change traditionally held views of "charity and welfare to those of productivity and empowerment of disabled people".

[4] NCPEDP works on 6 core principles, also called the six pillars of the organisation, namely: || Accessibility || Education || Employment || Law/Policy || Awareness || Youth.

NCPEDP also published a series of teaching-learning modules co-developed by UNESCO and P&G Whisper India aimed at integrating menstrual period and puberty education in school curricula.

The manifesto, also shared with political parties, called for bigger budgetary allocation for PwDs with a 5% reservation in all levels of governance, and comprehensive health insurance.

PVR INOX to ensure accessibility for the film, has earmarked 1600 wheelchair-friendly seats across various locations to accommodate patrons with disabilities.

While thousands of people moved to work remotely and had access to alternative employment opportunities, PwDs were systematically ignored altogether yet again from all social safety nets, especially for income security."

He further said "The need to create sustained opportunities in employment and entrepreneurship for persons with disabilities in both urban and rural areas is more critical than ever."

We consider it an honor to be associated with NCPEDP in recognizing individuals and organizations for their pursuit and exemplary efforts and contributions toward delivering social equity and inclusion."

He added, "The NCPEDP-Mindtree Helen Keller Awards promotes socio-economic inclusion and supports the empowerment of PWDs.
