About TRRAIN Pankh - Wings of Destiny

According to the 2011 census, there are approximately 2.7 Crore Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in India and the heart-wrenching truth is that their employability is less than 1%. There are many reasons for this extremely low number. Through the TRRAIN Pankh programme we aim to tackle 3 barriers that are responsible for this situation:

1) Lack of skilling/training of PwDs.

2) Lack of employment opportunities for PwDs.

3) The importance of their inclusion in the retail and allied industries.

Launched in 2011, TRRAIN’s Pankh programme works towards creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) by training and providing them with employment opportunities in retail and allied sectors, thereby also promoting diversity and inclusion in the industry.
