Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled was established in the year 1997 by
Mahantesh G Kivadasannavar along with his schoolmate and childhood friend,
Late. Nagesh SP. The founders, being visually impaired and having witnessed
various challenges, have together conceptualized Samarthanam, an organization
which would cater to people with disabilities, including visually impaired and
underprivileged. Education was conceived to be the basic right of every
individual, irrespective of status and disability. And hence they initiated on the
development of various programmes at primary, secondary and higher
education levels and also various other initiatives solely dedicated for visually

gathering support, Samarthanam’s areas of service also widened. The
organization moved onto establishing Livelihood Resource Centres,

EXPERIENCE
CONCLUSION
I would like to say we could have learnt more if we did go there. Those talented
children achieved a lot. They showed that they are no less than us.
Samarthanam had also conducted cricket for visually impaired and also the few
students got selected to international wall climbing for visually impaired people
in Russia in this year 2021 and walkathon, cultural programs and many more
activities . They participated well and good than anyone in everything. They
inspires us a lot. World got encourage these kind of people and treat, give more
love and concern. They thought their disabilities as their strength. So they should
be called ‘SPECIALLY ABLED ONES’.
