SHUCHITA
Skilling for Happiness, Unique Choice, Hope, Inclusion, Training & Abilities
Inclusive Skills Development Programme for Women with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (Divyangjan) (WIDD)```
Why SHUCHITA
Up to 3% of India’s 1.3 billion population lives with some form of IDD.
Over 12% of Indian children aged 2 to 9 years have neurodevelopmental disorders.
Girls with disabilities are more vulnerable and parents choose the easiest option to ensure their safety – they do not enrol them in school.
