Being independent and self-reliant are dreams nurtured by every person with disability. APD’s various income generating programmes help them today so that they can come closer to the tomorrow of their dreams. In tune with its own objectives to enable people with disabilities to become productive members of the society and become self-sustainable, APD trains them in various mechanical and IT related skills.

The certification of training, be it in mechanical skills or IT, brings a sense of self-pride and worth in their lives.
