Abstract

More than 500 million people worldwide are affected by mental, physical or sensory disabilities. These individuals are entitled to the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. This case explores the challenges and opportunities of managing disabilities, particularly regarding employability. It presents two case studies from Indian non-governmental organizations (NGOs), Bhagavatula Charitable Trust and Riya Foundation, highlighting their efforts to address the concerns of differently-abled individuals. It aims to describe the challenges of managing the employability of disabled children, providing insights that can be applied elsewhere for better results. Data were collected during social immersion internships by participants in these two NGOs.
