National Trust for the Welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities

The trust was established in the year 2000 under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India. It aims to work towards an inclusive society where persons with disabilities (PWD) are enabled and empowered to participate in the social and economic activities around them.  

It works towards safeguarding the rights of PWDs, providing support to their families/caregivers and to facilitating the creation of an enabling environment for the PWDs to thrive. It also overlooks as well as helps the registered NGOs working on the field.
