For over 17 transformative years, Sarthak Educational Trust has been at the forefront of India’s disability empowerment movement, redefining how inclusion translates into opportunity. As the country’s leading non-profit working towards employment and inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), Sarthak has built a world-class ecosystem that bridges skill development, early childhood intervention, digital accessibility, and employer engagement.
