Disablity is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.

We live in a country where 13 lakh persons, as per the census of 2011, are deaf and mute, compare that to the National Association for Deaf’s (NAD) number that stands at 1.8 crore*, i.e. nearly 1% of our population! 69% of our Differently-abled Persons (DAPs) reside in our villages, where lack of awareness and lack of dedicated healthcare exacerbates the situation; after basic school education, no other option or opportunity is available to them to improve their skills or to enhance their chance for employment or for self sustenance.
