A person with disability looked down by the society because the person is not able to perform an activity as perfect as the requirements of the norms and needs of the society. Thus they become the least brothers and sisters who are marginalised and exploited. That is why the society was formed to serve the most neglected brothers and sisters of the society. ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.('Matthew 25:40) Madhya Pradesh Viklang Sahayta Samiti has completed 20 years, rendering service to persons with special needs. Since its commencement we tried to give the beneficiaries the best service as possible. Rehabilitation and main streaming of persons with disabilities are main concerns of the Society. We believe in human dignity and hold the concept that less ability does not make any one less human. We work towards an inclusive society where each individual person irrespective of any differences should be able enjoy equal opportunity to develop and live a meaningful, respectful and dignified life. He or she must be given opportunities and enough training to be a productive member of the society. Then alone we can say that a meaningful rehabilitation of persons with disabilities is accomplished. MPVSS has bagged district, state and nation level recognition and appreciation for the work it has done to the society. Moreover we are encouraged and motivated by the faith of thousands of parents and beneficiaries, on MPVSS. Many parents stay in rented houses in Ujjain to attend the special school and therapies at Manovikas. Let me acknowledge the priceless supports MPVSS received from many part of the society. The central, state and district administration have always been very supportive of the organization. Let me thank every benefactor who helped MPVSS financially. I appreciate your readiness to always support the organization. Please continue to support us and guide us. MPVSS is committed to transparency and accountability. Every penny it gets is spend for the wellbeing of persons with disabilities or in need . There is a long way to go. Alone it maybe difficult. Let us march together and make an inclusive society where each one enjoys equal rights and opportunities. MPVSS will continue to be a source of consolation and support . Mar.Sebastian Vadakel Bishop , Dioceses of Ujjain President MPVSS 02 "Jagriti" - Annual Report 2017-18 Director's Desk It is a matter of immense pleasure for us to present the Annual Report of Madhya Pradesh Viklang Sahayta Samiti for the year 2017 – 18. This year too we have made all possible endeavors to transform the life of people with disabilities (PwD’s) especially the children with intellectual and multiple disabilities. We have successfully imparted special education to the children with intellectual disability through our special schools, Inclusive education program through integrated centers, provided residential care through Respite Care Home and provided Hostel facilities through CWSN hostels, conducted income generating vocational training program to the young adults and running “Sparsh” program exclusively for the children with deafblindness. We have directly benefitted a total of 709 children and young adults with intellectual, multiple disabilities through all our centers and “Sparsh” Program for the Deafblind. We have also benefitted 189 children and adults through our physiotherapy and occupational therapy centers. During the year we have provided the benefit of various government welfare schemes to 470 PwD’s. Through various awareness programs and activates we have reached around five thousand people. This is the third successful year of our Manovikas College of Special Education, which is offering regular B.Ed. (Special Education -MR) approved by RCI and affiliated with Vikram University, and D.Ed. (Special Education- Deafblindness) approved by RCI. We are already a study center of Bhoj Open University for distance mode courses since 2004. There are 64 students in regular courses and 42 in distance mode courses. We would like to share another important development, marked during the year, which is the extension of “Manovikas” building at Jawahar Nagar, Ujjain for providing better facilities to children and young adults with disability. During the year our 225 Special Children participated in district and State level sports competition and were crowned with success. Here, we would like to mention, the names of our special winners; Javed Khan, Aditya Jha and Shivani Patel, who won medals. The cultural awareness and participation play an integral role in special children’s education. In various cultural events, the special students of MPVSS tried their best to prove that they too are efficient and equal pillars of the society. The cultural activities were organized on the various occasions. We are thankful to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, Ministry of Social Justice, Govt. of M.P, government departments, various institutions, corporate and individual donors who extended their support to create an inclusive society. Like every year, the smiles and happiness of hundreds of special children gave us motivation to go forward and we are continuing our successful journey. Fr.
