At the IL&FS Institute of Skills (IIS) the trainees were given a hands-on
learning environment such that they could learn by doing by senior,
experienced trainers and instructors.
We have trained over 1,400 differently abled people over a period of
18 months between 2012- 13 across 7 states in manufacturing and
service sector trades, out of which more than 900 people have been
placed into organised sector jobs and another 80+ people are self
employed

century and notable physicist of all time.
It is told that he had learning
disability in his childhood. He could

The society has to realize that disability does not make an individual a liability.
Such individuals often, because of sheer grit and determination not only
overcome their disability but become an inspiration to other people as well.
