The educational syd stem in India is the second largest in the world with 10.4 lakhs schools, about 17,000 colleges and about 329 universities including institutions demanded to be university. But in reality, insecurity persists in many subtle ways among the tribal’s.

Differently abled people rehabilitation
As per census 2011, around 2.21% of India’s population is differently-abled, which means that there are a little over 2 crore people in our country who are living with some form of physical or mental handicap. Which means that the number of people with disabilities in India is almost twice the entire population of Sweden! The social and physical barriers set up in society prevent differently-abled people from rising above their position and living up to their full potential. Private organizations as well the Govt are working hard to change this mindset and make the world a more accessible place for everyone. But underfunding and less personnel makes it difficult to materialize.
CECT aims at giving new life to those who have been deprived of the basic privileges of mobility and hearing individuals at Nilgiris esp in Coonoor Karimora village. With the gift of mobility, people develop self confidence and lead a normal lives.
