Trinayani

Some of their activities in 2013-14 were as follows:

• Workshops: In FY14, they conducted awareness and sensitization workshops in seven schools which were sponsored by ONGC. The objective is to highlight the presence of disabled individuals in everyday situations and shift the focus from impairment to portraying them as productive members of society. The organisation works towards demystifying the subject of disability through awareness trainings conducted by experts for the academic sector as well as the corporate sector.
• Make and Screen Awareness Films: The organisation has their own YouTube channel called Trinayani Films for informational visual content on disability awareness. Their films are shown to corporations, banks, educational institutions, bureaucrats, the media and policymakers.
• Broadcast Radio Shows: They have a radio show in Hindi pertaining to news and views of cross disability issues. The aim is to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities, to inspire and motivate. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation supported this 8-Part Radio Program. The radio show enables role models for disabled individuals, brings about changes in the mind-sets of non-disabled people, urges people to commit to bringing about change, and promotes awareness while educating and inspiring the masses.
• Publications, Audio CDs and Exhibitions: They publish awareness booklets in 6 languages for Rs10 each and also offer a PDF version. The organisation also created two audio albums for children along with the braille transcription of its lyrics available for visually impaired students.
• Provide Livelihood Opportunities: Trinayani is in touch with organisations and corporations to facilitate employment for disabled individuals. They have been successful in securing employment for intellectually impaired candidates and deaf adults at Auto Service stations in Mumbai. They have also taken a direct approach to creating employment by opening the Sparsh Foot Spa which is run completely by blind therapists. Trinayani provided visually impaired masseurs at the rest and recovery zone of the Mumbai Marathon.
