Highly motivated and committed professionals, technical and management staff as team always strive to enhance the organizational capabilities to meet the challenges and make things happen. Staff composition is more than the field norm of 1:7 that is currently maintained at 1:4. Pragathi believes in the value of technology and leverages wherever necessary. State of the art technology, diagnostic and intervention/therapy equipment, tools and materials apart from own buildings admeasuring 25000 sft., are the major strengths of Pragathi. Co-ownership and co-management of the disability rehabilitation programs is another key differentiator of Pragathi and in this direction more than 1000 Disabled Persons’ Organizations have been formed.

Having recognized the fact that community plays a crucial role, Pragathi Charities’ “concept services” cover five themes that are critical for the empowerment of persons with disabilities and other disadvantaged viz., Public Awareness and Detection, (PAD), Full Life Cycle Needs (FLCN), Holistic Development (HD), Access to Environment (A2E) and Care and Support Services (CAS) as under:. Full Life Cycle Needs (FLCN) cover the aspects of prevention, early detection, early intervention, education, vocational training,
livelihood and independent living, while holistic development (HD) deals with such needs cutting across the life cycle, viz., physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, psychotherapy, counselling and guidance and family support. Acces to environment (A2E) aims at creating space and reasonable accommodation for the persons with disabilities and other disadvantaged groups. A2E primarily has programs of Awareness creation and involving the community, Barrier free environment, Capacity building, Disabled Persons’ Organizations and Enabling environment.
