History of the AKSHAYA
The long forgotten section of the society rise has to claim their equal opportunity and full Participation due to HUMAN DIGNITY under as one AKSHAYA Rehabilitation Trust – Disable Peoples organization (DPO).
In 1998, the group of Disables’ felt that Disables Rights based issue and Disability Development programs could be addressed more effectively only through an Institutional Mechanism. So, we have started “AKSHAYA Rehabilitation Trust” as a registered Voluntary, Non-Profitable and Tax Exempted Organisation under Indian Trust Act with the group of the Physically Challenged Wheelchair Persons in the same year to work for the disables empowerment. Mr.K.Kathiresan, an advocate and also person with disability is the founder chairman for this organization.
Since than “AKSHAYA” has been undertaking some initiatives fulfilling the demands of its constituency. This forms the basic for “AKSHAYA Rehabilitation Trust” in 1998 to address the issues of disabled persons in a comprehensive manner.
Our Motto: “BY”, “OF”, “FOR” the Disables’.
Our Vision: AKSHAYA envisions “ A Society where persons with Disability Attain Holistic Development through Social Inclusion and equal opportunity and full Participation”.
