State Nodal Agency Centre (SNAC) and State Nodal Agency Partner (SNAP) are the institutional arrangements of the National Trust at the State/UT and Divisional levels to support and take forward its activities. One SNAC in every State/UT and one SNAP for around 10 districts in every State/UT are appointed from amongst the reputed and well established NGOs registered with the National Trust.
As such a Remote Area Funding Scheme was conceived to cover these remote districts for providing services to persons with such disabilities by providing financial incentives to set up new organizations registered with the National Trust.
It is in the light of this paradigm shift and the consequent need to recognize excellence, to encourage voluntarism and to promote best practices in the disability sector that the National Trust Annual Awards are instituted.
The National Trust was setup in the context of parents’ worries that what will happen to their children with special needs when they are no more. In order to provide a sustainable solution to this rather difficult problem, GHARAUNDA – a scheme of Lifelong Shelter & Care is conceived
An Incentive Scheme to Promote Economic Activities for Self-Employment of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and multiple disabilities.Promoting income generating economic activities for self-employment of persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities through incentives.
A Scholarship Scheme for Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation & Multiple Disabilities. To encourage people with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities for pursuing post schooling any vocational training / professional courses for enhancement of their skills.
A Health Insurance Scheme for the welfare of Persons with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities. In order to enable and empower persons with disability to live as independently and as fully as possible, health services and their access to persons with disabilities assume a very significant role. In this context, the health insurance facility becomes important but presently such products are not easily available for persons with disabilities. In such a situation, a health insurance scheme “Niramaya” is conceived with the following objectives.
The aim of the scheme is to work with children 0-6 years with developmental disabilities, to make them ready for mainstream and special schools. This is an early intervention programme.Awareness generation amongst parents of persons with disabilities, its family members & related Govt. Officials / Teachers.
To provide permanent care for abandoned and destitute persons with disabilities, protection to persons whose family support is gradually diminishing, family membersare willingtopay forgood quality services , homes and independent living situations and create opportunities.
Much of the problems are faced by the persons with disabilities in getting the health care and obtaining an easy access to it especially in developing countries like ours.
