Mumbai: Narayan Seva Sansthan (NSS) has completed its 68th batch of a free three-month computer training program, awarding certificates to 19 differently-abled participants at its campus on Thursday.
According to Director Vandana Agarwal, the initiative has trained 1,055 individuals over the past decade. “This initiative is more than skill-building—it’s about forging a new identity in society and unlocking economic independence for our differently-abled community,” Agarwal said.
The course provides training in MS Office, internet navigation, typing, and digital communication, aiming to improve employability in technology-related fields. NSS also offers other vocational programs including tailoring, embroidery, and mobile repairing, supporting self-reliance and social integration.
Participants from the latest batch shared their experiences of transformation through the program. Vijay Kumar, 24, from Muzaffarpur, Bihar, who lost both legs in a 2019 train accident, received prosthetic limbs from NSS and completed the course. “This has sparked a fire in me—I’m now focused on building a stable, independent future,” he said.
Neha Kumari, 22, from Vaishali district, Bihar, who was born with a partially developed leg, also benefited from customized calipers and training. “It’s like a door has swung open to possibilities I once only dreamed of,” she said.
NSS plans to introduce advanced courses in computing, digital design, mobile technology, and online freelancing to expand opportunities for participants. “Our goal is global empowerment,” Agarwal added.
