CBM India stands as a beacon of inclusion and hope, dedicated to creating a society where every person, regardless of ability, can live a life filled with dignity, opportunity, and belonging. With roots stretching back to 1967, CBM India has grown into one of the country’s most respected not-for-profit organisations, championing the rights of persons with disabilities and marginalised communities in every corner of the nation.
The heart of CBM India’s work lies in its belief that disability should never be a barrier to living a full and meaningful life. The organisation partners with local communities, government agencies, and civil society to design and deliver programmes that make a real difference. Whether it’s a child receiving her first hearing aid, a young adult learning new skills for employment, or a family rebuilding after a natural disaster, CBM India is there—offering support, encouragement, and practical solutions.
CBM India’s impact is visible across a wide range of programs. In education, they help schools become accessible and inclusive, train teachers, and provide learning support so that children with disabilities can thrive. Their healthcare initiatives bring eye care, rehabilitation, and assistive devices to those who might otherwise go without. Through livelihoods programs, CBM India supports people to start small businesses, learn new trades, and build brighter futures.
The organisation is also a leader in humanitarian response, ensuring that persons with disabilities are never left out when emergencies strike. CBM India’s approach is always collaborative and grounded in the needs of the communities they serve. They listen, adapt, and work hand-in-hand with partners to create lasting change.
What truly sets CBM India apart is its people-first philosophy. The team believes in the power of partnership and shared learning. They celebrate every story of resilience and success, knowing that real progress is made when everyone is included. CBM India’s vision extends beyond immediate support. The organisation advocates for policy change, raises awareness about disability rights, and works to shift attitudes in society. Their efforts have contributed to more accessible public spaces, better laws, and greater understanding of the challenges faced by persons with disabilities.
