Our Impact | Sarthak Educational Trust

Our Impact

At Sarthak Educational Trust, impact is not just a number — it is a transformed life, an empowered family, and a more inclusive society.

Since our inception in 2008, we have been deeply committed to the belief that every person with a disability has immense potential. When nurtured, this potential leads to dignity, purpose, and self-reliance.

Our journey has been one of scale, depth, and systemic change — evolving from a small office in Delhi into a pan-India presence with digital platforms, physical centres, and a growing global footprint.


Below, we present the reach and results of our interventions across multiple verticals.

100,000+ PwDs Empowered through Skill Training and Placement

Our core intervention focuses on enabling persons with disabilities to secure livelihoods through skill-based training and employment. Over the last 17 years, more than 1,00,000 youth with disabilities have been trained and placed in formal sectors including retail, hospitality, IT, healthcare, and manufacturing.

Our curriculum is customized to different disability types and job roles, combining vocational content, soft skills, digital literacy, and pre-employment readiness. Collaborations with over 5,000 corporate partners have led to meaningful job placements across India.

“When my father fell ill, I knew I had to step up. Being hearing and speech impaired never stopped me. I used to travel 34 km every day in search of work. After countless rejections, Sarthak Educational Trust opened the door to my first job. Today, I earn ₹1.5 LPA, support my family, and continue my studies. Everything has changed.
Gudiya Kumari, Customer Sales Associate at Reliance Trends

30+ Centres of Excellence Across India

Sarthak’s physical presence now extends across 30+ cities, delivering services that span from skill development to employment, advocacy, and accessibility support.

These centres act as one-stop hubs where individuals with disabilities can receive counseling, training, placement support, and access to assistive technology. Each centre also anchors community campaigns, workshops, and partnerships with local stakeholders.


7,000+ Children Supported through Early Intervention

Inclusion begins at birth. Our Early Intervention Centers provide critical support to children aged 0–6 years with developmental delays or disabilities.

With therapies (physiotherapy, occupational, speech), special education, and parental counseling, we ensure holistic development. To date, 7,000+ children have received support, resulting in school readiness, cognitive and motor progress, and stronger family inclusion.

“Born with hearing and bone disabilities, I’ve faced challenges every step of the way — but I chose to rise. Winning Silver in Embroidery at the International Abilympics 2023 proved that skills have no limits. My goal now is to empower others like me, and build a world where dignity and self-respect aren’t privileges, but rights.”
