A small seed was sown on 17th March 1977 Ugadi, Telugu New Year Day has grown
and developed into a tall tree with several branches in the form of several service units
and institutions in Secunderabad, Tandur, Kadapa and Guntur.

We began as a school for mentally handicapped children in a garage and as a part of my

clinic remises with 2 staff and 5 children. 31 years of dedicated service started by a
group of different professionals joining together with a commitment and belief that these
persons with disability are victims of fate, they should not be victims of our neglect.

This lead to the birth of SUAS,(An energizing breath in Sanskrit ) Sweekaar and three
sister organizations viz., Upkaar, Aashray and Suraksha. SUAS (Sweekaar, Upkaar,
Aashray and Suraksha) is not only a reservoir for delivering service to the disabled
(Running 29 Service Units),but also have become centre for learning and manpower
development for the rehabilitation of the disabled.SUAS conducts 21 training programs
ranging from Diploma, Degree, PG, Post PG, Ph.D and another 11 programs are under
process under the umbrella of SARS( Sweekaar Academy of Rehabilitation Sciences.

SUAS is an oasis with a service motto “Rehabilitation from Womb to Tomb”. We care
for individuals with Mental, Physical, Visual and Hearing Handicap. In addition, we also
serve children with Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Learning Disorders,
High Risk Babies, Children with Developmental Delay, Individuals with Speech
Disorders, Adult Mentally Handicapped (Rural Project), Drug Addicts, Home for the
Aged and Artificial Limbs for the Physically Handicapped.

Several awards were bestowed on Sweekaar recognizing our commitment to the quality
of Service Delivery, Training, Awareness creation, Advocacy, Community participation
programmes. Our Strength is our Infrastructure. We have buildings located all over the
state with modern equipment, library with latest books and journals and exceptional
variety of case load which is a boon for training the students.

I personally and the governing body members and all the members of the Sweekaar
pariwaar express our profound gratitude and heartfelt thanks to all those who made our
dreams come true. We thank all the staff members who had worked and are working with
us. We salute all the Donors, Well Wishers, Govt. Officials, A.P. State Council of Higher
Education, Osmania University, Bhoj University, S.V. University, JNTU and Nagarjuna
University. Our special thanks go to the parents of the disabled children for reposing
unstinted confidence in us, whose support has enthused us, propelled our energies to go
forward in spite of insurmountable difficulties encountered financially and otherwise in
our path to our cherished dreams.

All our well wishers and donors are our hope and our strength. Everyone can join our
mission. This is God’s work. One must realize there is a very very thin line between the
abled and the disabled. It takes a few seconds to cross the fence. Let us give back to the
society more than what we receive. The more you give the more you get. Share the joy to
get your joy multiplied.

Your support will help us to reach the unreached, to care the uncared disabled
population of our society.

Yours in service
