Sense International (India)

Sense International (India) Sense International (India) is the only national level NGO working with people with deafblindness

Sense International India, also known as Sense India, was established in 1997 as the first and only non-governmental organisation to support the development of comprehensive services for people with deafblindness and multiple disabilities throughout India. Sense India works with local organisations to develop sustainable services for children and adults with deafblindness and collaborates with the government at centre and state levels. We have reached to provide needs-based services to around 80,000 children with deafblindness directly through 60 partner NGOs in 23 states of India, and through collaboration with the government’s national Samagra Shiksha - ‘inclusive education’ programme. With our effort, children with deafblindness and multiple disabilities have been identified and are being prepared to attend mainstream schools. We are also partnering with leading organisations in Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Malaysia to train educators and setup needs-based services for deafblind. Sense India advocates for the recognition and realisation of rights of persons with deafblindness with the government and our biggest achievement has been recognition of ‘Deafblindness’ in the Rights of Persons with Disability Act 2016 and their rights are now protected. The inclusion of vaccination for Rubella under the Universal Immunization Programme is another significant achievement of our advocacy initiatives. We are a member of several Central Government and State level advisory groups. Sense India is accredited by the United Nations and enjoys consultative status on deafblindness.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting the 1𝘀𝘁 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗳𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗿𝘂, bringing together CSR impact leaders from various corporates who are shaping the future of inclusion in their workplaces.

As shared by Mrs. Kamal Peters, Principal Specialist, Oracle Volunteering:
“Hearts connect better, and causes get better supported when we meet the people who have lived the journey — and those who help them achieve their dreams. Working together and building an ecosystem of support is the only way towards inclusion.”

Deafblindness remains a lesser-known disability, yet more than 5,00,000 people in India live with this condition. Sensitisation is essential to help organisations understand communication needs, inclusive practices, and the lived experience of people with deafblindness.

Participants engaged with:
• Key provisions of the RPwD Act (2016)
• A deeper understanding of deafblindness and multiple disabilities
• The remarkable story of a young person with deafblindness, Senthil, who refused to give up
• An inspiring interaction with Champion with Deafblindness, Shruti Singh, who continues to break barriers through assistive technology

Our experience zone and technology stalls offered a rare, hands-on opportunity to understand both the challenges and the solutions that enable independence and communication.

A sentiment echoed across the room captured the essence of the day:
“We take our sight, hearing, and speech for granted until we step into a special zone and understand the challenges faced by a person with deafblindness.”

We are deeply grateful to all the participants for their time, curiosity, openness, and commitment to fostering inclusion.

Sense International India brought together 136 participants at the Gujarat Institute of Mental Health, Ahmedabad — mental health experts, educators, social workers, government representatives, police officials, and disability organisations — all to deepen understanding of mental health needs in persons with deafblindness and multiple disabilities.

• Parents and individuals with deafblindness shared honest reflections on late diagnosis, stigma, and the transformative role of early, consistent emotional support.

• Mental health services must be accessible, inclusive, and dignity-driven
• Tools like SII–SAMWED and PSFA can make systems more responsive
• Collaboration between education, health, social welfare, and community networks is essential

Now, it’s time to turn dialogue into action and make mental health a non-negotiable part of disability care for every person with deafblindness and multiple disabilities.

Who knew a bucket of water could be a whole world of wonder?

For children with deafblindness, sensory play isn’t just fun — it’s how they feel, learn, and communicate with their surroundings.
Simple activities like water play can build pathways for learning, confidence, and emotional connection - reminding us that inclusion begins with understanding every child’s way of experiencing the world. Let’s create more spaces where every child can explore, express, and belong.
