Naipunya

“My savings my pride” The term “Naipunya,” meaning “Skill,” reflects the core objective of the project—to help beneficiaries enhance their abilities through structured training and development opportunities. The initiative focuses on empowering individuals by equipping them with practical skills that can support their personal and professional growth. Naipunya is a project introduced by Mobility in Dystrophy (MIND) Trust in 2020 to provide vocational training and employment opportunities for its beneficiaries. The program primarily supports individuals living with Muscular Dystrophy (MD) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), helping them develop job-ready skills and connect with inclusive workplaces. Through this initiative, beneficiaries are able to gain meaningful employment, earn a stable income, and move toward greater financial independence. The project also encourages organizations to create inclusive work environments that recognize the abilities and potential of persons with disabilities. So far, the Naipunya Project has supported 107 successful job placements for persons with disabilities across multiple sectors and organizations. By facilitating skill-based employment and promoting inclusive workplace opportunities, the project has significantly improved financial independence, social participation, and long-term career stability for many beneficiaries. Overall, Naipunya plays an important role in enabling individuals to lead more dignified, confident, and self-reliant lives while contributing actively to society.
