SETU bridges the gap between the differently abled people and institutions that recognise the capabilities of such people

Our aim is to provide free, basic education to less privileged and differently able people . Creating job opportunities for disable people. Employing PWD ( people with disability ) as teachers and tailors in our two main projects (i.e. chhoti si pathshala and vastra srijan ) is the reason for this . Setu has a tailoring training centre in Saket Meerut where they learn to work on proper Juki machines . Dr. Pratima Tyagi ( 09358177947 ) is the contact person. We also send our trainees to attend workshops to enhance their skills .

We recently participated in EMPOWER 2026 at Delhi, held from 2 to 4 October. Our team was at the exhibition at the Lecture Hall Complex, where we had the chance to meet students, researchers, organisations, practitioners and many others working towards better accessibility and inclusive education. The first two days saw a good response, with visitors stopping by to learn more about NAB Meerut, our programmes and the work we do. A big thank you to everyone who visited us at S1, the first stall on the left as you enter the hall, and took the time to speak with our team. We truly enjoyed the conversations and connections made over these three days. f you'd like to know more about NAB Meerut and our work, you can download our brochure and explore our programmes and initiatives.

On 10 September 2026, NAB Meerut launched its new Rehabilitation and Resource Centre for the Visually Impaired in Meerut.

The centre brings rehabilitation support, resources and guidance together in one place, making them easier to access for people with visual impairments in Meerut and nearby areas. It also gives us more space to support people with their education, skills and journey towards greater independence.

The launch was made even more special by the scholarships presented to visually impaired individuals. Seeing their happiness and knowing that this support can help them continue their education and work towards their goals was one of the most memorable parts of the day for our team.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and supported this important occasion, including officials, former IAS officers, the former Deputy Chief of Air Staff, our supporters, well-wishers and members of the NAB community.

With this centre, NAB Meerut hopes to make support and opportunities more accessible to the visually impaired community in Meerut and beyond. We’re proud to have this space and look forward to the work that will happen here.

At NAB Meerut, we have always believed that the right support can help a person become more independent.

For years, we have worked to support blind people through education, skill development, rehabilitation, technology and opportunities that help them move forward.

The centre will bring rehabilitation services, resources and support together in one place, making it easier for blind people to access what they need to learn, grow and live more independently.

Misba Shamsi from Nagina, Bijnor, U.P., is a visually impaired learner whose journey is a reminder of what the right support and opportunity can make possible.

A few months ago, Misba received a laptop with the support of people who believed in her potential. Her next step was to learn how to use it.

She enrolled in NAB Meerut’s Online YVT Basic Computer Course and began her two-month learning journey.

In the beginning, Misba was unsure of her own capabilities. But with patience, guidance and consistent effort, she completed the course with an A+ grade.

This testimonial captures Misba’s journey from self-doubt to confidence and shows how access to technology, computer training and the right support can open new possibilities for persons with visual impairment.

At NAB Meerut, we are committed to creating opportunities for education, skill development and greater independence for persons with visual impairment.

Watch Misba share her experience and what this journey meant to her.

People often get surprised when visually impaired individuals cook.

But the real question is… why should they be?

Cooking is not a “special achievement” for blind people.

It is a part of everyday life, and visually impaired individuals deserve to learn it with the same confidence and independence as anyone else.

At National Association for the Blind, Meerut Summer Camp, our cooking classes are designed to help visually impaired participants become more comfortable and independent in the kitchen. From understanding kitchen organisation and identifying ingredients to handling appliances safely and managing daily kitchen tasks, the focus is on building confidence that carries into real life.

Because independence is not only about education or technology.
Sometimes, it starts with being able to walk into your own kitchen and know, “I can do this myself.”

Recognising mental health issues is the first step towards getting the right support.

Changes in mood, persistent stress, feeling overwhelmed, withdrawal from daily activities, or difficulty coping with everyday life can all be signs that someone may need help. Paying attention to these signals in ourselves or in others can make a meaningful difference.

Seeking support is not a weakness; it is a step towards care, understanding, and healing.

This is a voice from within our community.

Pooja Chamathala shares her experience of learning at NAB Meerut, in her own words. Through her journey, we hear what access, guidance, and the right environment can truly do.

From building skills to gaining confidence, her story reflects what we aim to create every day: a space where learning feels possible and growth feels real.

Every voice like hers reminds us why this work matters.

Television is one of the most powerful sources of information and entertainment in India. It must be accessible to everyone.

At Doordarshan Bhawan, New Delhi, NAB Meerut actively contributed to national-level discussions on developing structured accessibility standards for television programmes. The focus was clear ensuring equal access for both hearing and visually impaired viewers.

Key conversations centred around the phased implementation of accessibility standards, particularly the urgent need to formalise guidelines for visually impaired audiences. Discussions included categorising content into live, recorded, pre-recorded, and outsourced formats, and beginning with recorded and new content by integrating audio description.

The Director General of Doordarshan highlighted ongoing consultations with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and the legal importance of finalising these standards.

Representing NAB Meerut, Ms. Poonam Tyagi emphasised that accessibility mechanisms must move from discussion to implementation. She reinforced that trained manpower already exists, and structured, step-by-step ex*****on is both practical and achievable.

NAB Meerut remains committed to working with national broadcasters and policymakers to ensure inclusive media becomes the standard.

What is the difference between general psychology and clinical psychology?

Watch the video to understand the difference between the two and why it matters.

Understanding this difference helps us recognise when knowledge becomes support and when support becomes care.

This clip is taken from our webinar on clinical psychology, where we discussed mental health with a special focus on the visually impaired community.
