Notes to Editor
ISNI (International Special Needs Institution), which works for the vocational training and employment of the Dis-Abled women.
Women with disabilities are the last priority in many countries, and are condemned to live their lives as a discriminated lot, whose lives are perceived as having no potential to improve. We at ISNI facilitate programs to improve conditions of such disabled and mistreated women so that they can become productive members of this global society. ISNI has collaborated with Alpha foundation of ICFAI group and other government and nongovernment institutions to reach out to many marginalized beneficiaries.
