A Proud Milestone for Vision-Aid and NAB India Centre

Vision-Aid, in partnership with the NAB India Centre for Blind Women and Disabilities Studies, is pleased to announce the successful placement of six visually impaired candidates at the Blind Café located at TCS Siruseri, Chennai. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the candidates and a proud moment for both organizations committed to advancing inclusive employment.

A Collaborative Journey Toward Inclusive Employment

The journey began when the NAB India Centre approached Vision-Aid to collaborate in identifying and preparing suitable candidates for the Chennai Blind Café unit. As the strategic sourcing and coordination partner, Vision-Aid screened and finalized six talented visually impaired individuals for this opportunity.

Candidate Preparation and Sourcing

  • Identifying suitable candidates
  • Screening and evaluation
  • Coordinating logistics for training and placement

Comprehensive Training for Workplace Readiness

The selected candidates began their training program in July 2025 at the NAB India Centre in Delhi, where they participated in an intensive four-month café management training program.

Key Training Components

  • Café operations and day-to-day workflow
  • Customer service and communication skills
  • Cooking, food preparation, and hygienic practices
  • Confidence building and workplace readiness

 

This comprehensive and hands-on training equipped participants with strong practical skills and the confidence needed to succeed in a professional hospitality setting.

100% Deployment at Blind Café, TCS Chennai

We are delighted to share that this collaboration resulted in a 100% success rate, with all six candidates now proudly employed at the Blind Café in TCS Siruseri, Chennai. Their immediate placement highlights the effectiveness of the training program and the dedication.

Gratitude to NAB India Centre

We extend heartfelt appreciation to the NAB India Centre for Blind Women and Disabilities Studies for designing and delivering a rigorous, placement-oriented training program. Their commitment to creating sustainable livelihood opportunities through the Blind Café initiative is both commendable and inspiring.

Continuing Our Mission of Inclusion

This accomplishment represents more than successful job placement—it reflects the power of collaboration, inclusion, and sustained support. Together, we have enabled a life-changing opportunity for these six individuals.

Vision-Aid remains committed to fostering accessible, skill-based, and inclusive initiatives across India. We look forward to continuing this impactful work with our partners and expanding opportunities for individuals with visual impairments.
