 Executive Summary
Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled is a National Award winning NGO established in
the year 1997 by Founder Managing Trustee Mahantesh G Kivadasannavar and his schoolmate
and childhood friend, Late. Nagesh SP. Samarthanam works for the empowerment of persons
with disabilities and the underserved. Samarthanam caters to people in need by providing
plethora of services including quality education, accommodation, nutritious food, vocational
training, sports and placement based rehabilitation. The initiatives of Samarthanam strive
towards creating opportunities for them to keep pace with the rest of the society.
Creating a platform for the visually impaired cricketers to portray their talent and ability and
promote cricket for the blind at the international level was the primary driving force behind
establishing Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled. Creating education opportunities and
supporting persons with disabilities was another major reason. As the organization grew in size
and strength the initiatives expanded and embraced many more people in need, supporting them
in every possible way.
 
Today, Samarthanam Trust stands to be a complete solution provider by supporting education
and livelihood needs of persons with disabilities and those from under privileged backgrounds.
The organization also facilitates direct livelihood opportunities to hundreds of persons with
disabilities and women in distress through its Social Enterprises. Cricket Association for the
Blind in India (CABI), the cricketing arm of Samarthanam, fosters the game of blind cricket
and the visually impaired players across India.
 
Samarthanam team is geared to empower people in socio-economic-cultural fronts, leading to
their holistic development. Supported by Trustees Vasanti Savanur, Uday Kumar Y B and Buse
Gowda, the organisation is on its way to become a national entity by being the complete
solution provider to people in need.
 
Samarthanam envisions to touch at least 100,000 lives by 2020, providing comprehensive
solutions to the disabled and underserved communities.
 Introduction
This brief overview highlights some of the key barriers faced by disabled children and young
people, which impacts on their progression into adulthood and provides suggestions and options
for addressing these barriers within the context of four key areas: Education, Transition to
Adulthood, Benefits and Employment.
For young disabled people to have better and more realistic opportunities for progressing into
further or higher education or gaining access to progressive employment opportunities their
experience of primary and secondary education and the level to which they are supported can
have a significant impact on their future prospects. The increasing numbers of disabled young
people in further and higher education demonstrate that by supporting disabled children in
education and by embedding a culture of high expectation where they are prepared to be more
productive adults as their non-disabled peers are, they are more prepared to access a wider
range of educational and employment options beyond school. This section gives a brief
overview of Equality 2025’s advice on the current issues surrounding education for young
disabled people.
The Government has hinted at its aim of developing such a vision. There are a number of
immediate questions that disabled people will want to be considered when developing such a
vision. ―How integrated will such a vision be?‖ ―Will it be cross-departmental and will it
impact on all areas of the child’s life including areas such as family, education, social
engagement and choice and control.‖ Disabled people will want to see what the government
sees as its key outcomes and how these will be monitored. Critically however, to what extent
will disabled children be involved in developing such a vision?
Employment Support is a significant change which will undoubtedly impact on young disabled
people. Given the high number of young disabled people who are not employed, this is likely
to impact more on them as they may take longer to access suitable employment which allows
them to move away from income-based benefits.
For those people who become unemployed because of redundancy (and are already disabled),
or acquire an impairment, they are more likely to be unemployed for longer (for rehabilitation
and
training purposes) and are therefore at a disadvantage compared to their non-disabled peers
when trying to re-enter the labour market. The loss of contributions whilst not having an
immediate impact, will undoubtedly impact later in life when those contributions become a
determining factor in level of pension payments etc.
 About The Organization
Samarthanam Trust for the disabled was registered as an NGO on February 26, 1997. Two
visually challenged young graduates started the Trust with the initial objective of providing
hostel and education facilities to visually impaired girls pursuing their studies after tenth

benefits of physically and economically challenged students also. Besides getting them
admitted in various prestigious colleges in the city of Bangalore, the trust also provide the
visually challenged student with reader and scribe services.

However, the professional and technical limitations, poor co-ordination, and

problems of representativeness and accountability in the NGO sector also could
not been far from the debate of success or failure to be an effective institutional
13
channel for the aid and for the delivery of services to the needy people. Though
there are some case studies of individual NGOs, similar theoretical and empirical
works on the NGOs in developing countries.

The recent issues and concerns of the people and the government regarding to
NGOs are related with their roles for improving livelihood of the poor rural
people, sustainable development of the country, project sustainability of NGO-
led development projects and management capability of the NGOs. The other
aspects of institutionalisation, voluntary services, transparency, cost effectiveness,
and accountability are in discussion among donors, practitioners, and
academicians. Some pertinent questions behind these NGOs are, What would be
the appropriate areas of functions through these NGOs or voluntary
organisations? Should these organisations be controlled or set free for working?
What would be the relationwith the government and external donor agencies?

applied when the test statistic would follow a normal distribution if the value of a
scaling term in the test statistic were known. When the scaling term is unknown
and is replaced by an estimate based on the data.

 Using T-test to indentify whether the Programs which are provided by Samarthanam trust
will be beneficial for future or Not.

Total no. of samples (n)= 30

X = yes = 16

Y = No = 14

Ho = Samarthanam Programs are beneficial

H1= Samarthanam Programs are not beneficial

Calculation of Tcal value

Ʃ d = (x-y) = 16-14 =2

(Ʃ d) ² = 4

d¯ = Ʃ d / n = 2/30 = 0.066

s ²= { (Ʃ d) ² - (d¯)² * n } / n – 1

= 4 – ( 0.066) ² * 30 / 30 – 1

s ²= 0.133

s = 0.364

Tcal = d¯ / s √n =0.066 / (0.364 / √30)

Tcal = 0.99322

35
T at 5% with n-1 =29 degree of freedom
