The Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled has invited
applications from persons with disabilities for its training programme,
beginning April 5.
The trust was started in 1997 by
C.K. Mahantesh in Bangalore. The organisation regularly organises
training programmes for the disabled and helps them find jobs in
well-known BPOs.
Praveen Kadibagale, resource
mobiliser, and Asif Makandar, training coordinator, told presspersons
here on Saturday that the trust established an office in Dharwad in
2009, and later in Belgaum and Gadag to help the disabled in north
Karnataka districts.
A Livelihood Resource Centre
was established in Dharwad to train persons with disabilities. So far,
over 100 disabled persons had been trained and they have secured jobs in
reputed companies.
The centre also has hostels for men and women.
They mentioned that two candidates from the previous batch had found placements.
Siddappa
Kutanur from Alur village has secured a job in a BPO run by the Aditya
Birla group in Bangalore, and earns Rs. 7,000 a month. The other
trainee, Madivalappa from Gulbarga, got employed in the chain of hotels
run by Vasudev Adiga, and earns Rs. 6,500 a month, besides free food and
shelter.
Mr. Makandar said that those interested in
enrolling for the training programme should call 8105556047 or contact
the Programme Manager, Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled, No. 48,
