Annual Reports 2023

Vision-Aid had a stellar year in 2023. For the first time since inception, the overall reach of our programs exceeded 20,000 beneficiaries across India. We continued to remain focused on our core objective of enabling, educating and empowering the visually impaired (VI) community, by setting up new low vision resource centers, launching new training programs, bringing renewed focus to our placement initiative, strengthening our blind school programs and so on.

Annual Reports 2022

Year 2022 in a lot of ways was also a year which focused on stabilizing our core operations. We brought in a lot of standardization, automation and process efficiency in our core areas such as the Training function and the programs we run in collaboration with our partners in India. We continued to see increased demand for our virtual training programs. In Year 2022, we offered 12 different training programs with a total enrolment of 528 students. This was about a 40% jump in student enrolment from Year 2021.

Annual Reports 2021

2021 was a year of new beginning for Vision-Aid on several fronts. We saw the launch of several new programs, signing of MoU’s with new partners and expanding the scope of our training programs significantly. The onslaught of Covid affected people with disabilities much more than the others. It created a sense of fear and insecurity among the disabled. The Covid induced shutdown added to their woes.
