In 2012-13 Smt.Saraswathi N envisioned an organization to provide
opportunities for the deserving, young, and talented children with disability of any form, or from
marginalized economic backgrounds. Thus, more than a decade ago, Vishwabharathi came into existence
by providing aids and appliances to the deserving students.
“I wish to witness People with Disabilities as not just mere dole recipients
but worthy tax payers,” is one strong belief of Mahantesh which led him to be the leading light for
millions of people with disabilities.
Vishwabharathi supports the visually impaired, differently able,
underprivileged and to keep in pace with the rest of the society by providing medical care, Basic
needs, food support for needy people, vocational training, placement based rehabilitation and achieve
personal independence.
However the long term focus of Vishwabharathi is shaping an
inclusive society which provides opportunities—without any discrimination—for the development
of the visually impaired, differently abled, underprivileged and senior citizens.
Our primary approach is to poverty alleviation through transformational
development is called ‘area survey programme’ (ASP). Each ASP focuses on a geographical area and
covers Disability, Underprivileged, Old age& it is a long-term involvement of minimum 10 years,
rooted in the community and in partnership with the civil society, NGOs and the Government.
