Nab India, Center for Blind Women & Disability Studies

The center places significant emphasis on the mental health of the girls, particularly those who have experienced late-onset blindness. It conducts counseling sessions for girls from rural and disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as for individuals grappling with emotional challenges and adapting to the loss of certain physical abilities.

A crucial result of the training is the placement of women in their respective workplaces. The NAB Centre not only focuses on empowering women with professional skills but also ensures their placement in the specific field they have been trained for. Moreover, the center supports women after placement by offering guidance on mobility, orienting them to the office space, assisting with accommodation, and providing various other necessary support to help them settle into their work.

The center offers complimentary accommodation to students throughout their training. Theaim is to ensure that their students experience a stress-free environment as they learn.

Talking Hands introduces a distinctive therapeutic healing approach utilizing the heightened tactile sensation of visually impaired individuals. Our vision is to elevate the status of skilled visually impaired individuals in India and Asian countries.
The center provides training to blind and visually impaired women in various therapeutic healing techniques, including oil massage therapy, dry massage therapy, foot reflexology, and more. Candidates are selected based on a three-day assessment of their basic motor skills, memory retention, and grooming. The chosen candidates undergo an intensive three-month training program. Following this training, the women are placed in beauty salons, corporate houses, or clinics.
The Talking Hands Clinic operates within the center, catering to walk-in clients dealing with muscular pain or similar disorders.

The NAB India Centre for Blind Women introduces "DISCOVERING HANDS" to India and Asia as part of the fight against breast cancer. This innovative program, developed by renowned German gynecologist Dr. Frank Hoffmann, aims to offer accessible breast screening for women under the age of 50 who are not covered by any preventive screenings.
Discovering Hands trains blind and visually impaired women in Tactile Breast Examination, empowering them to become Medical Tactile Examiners (MTEs). These MTEs use their special tactile abilities to screen breasts for any lumps or abnormalities.

One might assume that the loss of vision results in a loss of independence when it comes to walking, running, and dancing. However, at the center, women undergo rigorous mobility training to ensure they can walk down the streets, board the metro or public transport, and reach their destination independently.

The center awards scholarships, generously sponsored by donors, to visually impaired students who are in financial need and demonstrate merit, supporting their pursuit of higher education. NAB Centre has granted scholarships to its female students enrolled in esteemed institutions such as Delhi University, JNU, and TISS.
