    FOREWORD

    I am pleased to present the Annual Report and Financial Documents of

    National Association for the Blind, Delhi for the year 2018-19. The essence of

    our achievements and way ahead has been presented in the report. The

    continued achievements of this organization are attributed in large measure,

    to the committed employees who have consistently worked beyond the call of

    duty to protect and enforce the rights of persons with visual impairment and

    low vision.

    The organization has been working towards empowering persons with visual

    impairment and low vision for 40 years now. The organization, through its

    efforts continues to educate, provide skills and rehabilitate persons with

    visual impairment to make them independent, self-reliant, and better decision

    makers not only for themselves but also for their families. During this period,

    all projects have made significant progress, the student admission and

    participation has increased and our students have also performed

    significantly better in their board exams.

    The organization will continue to work closely with key stakeholders in order

    to achieve its mandate; however, there is a need of additional resources to

    adequately meet the needs of the organization and its beneficiaries.

    In this successful journey, I would like to recognize, appreciate and laud the

    contributions made by Governing Council, Staff, Donors, Volunteers and

    Well Wishers. It has been a cohesive efforts of all involved that has brought

    the organization here and motivates us to be better.

  • WAY FORWARD

    National Association for the Blind, Delhi has been striving hard to make quality

    education and training accessible to all visually impaired persons. However, with time

    we realized that there are a number of visually impaired elderly who are on the streets

    or living with minimum support. This realization paved way for NAB Delhi‟s most

    ambitious Project, An Old Age Home for the Elderly that is being constructed in Sector

    11, Dwarka. We need support and contribution for the same.
