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.

Some run for medals.
Amit “Dada” Bhattacharjee is running for voices, for inclusion and for hope.

On 4 October 2025, he takes on the Big Backyard Ultra - 6.7 km every hour, on the hour, until only one remains.
But he’s not running for glory. He’s running for children with deafblindness in India — children who deserve the chance to learn, grow and thrive.

For an estimated 500,000 people living with deafblindness in India, a new door has opened.

On 20 September 2025, the centre came alive as educators, families, and community members gathered for the inauguration. Designed as a one-stop hub, Sparsh now offers early intervention, specialised education, vision and speech therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, mobility training, home-based programmes, and counselling for families and caregivers.

Before the launch, 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 rolled up their sleeves to create 𝗧𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗳𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

The ceremony was graced by Ms Jane Halloway, Senior Leader, Ford Philanthropy; Mr Anand Mishra, Plant Manager, Ford Sanand; and Dr Shripad Bhatt, Director, Government Affairs, Ford India.

This new hub is a powerful testament to our mission: to ensure that no disability limits potential and that everyone has the chance to connect with the world.

This endeavour was made possible through the steadfast support of Ford. We are sincerely grateful for their belief in our vision and for partnering with us to create lasting impact.

Leading an Independent and Inclusive Future: National Training on Deafblindness & Multiple Disabilities
“𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣 𝙙𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙚?” - this question echoes in the hearts of many parents, especially those of children with disabilities.

Last week, Sense India hosted a transformative three-day National Training in Bengaluru, bringing together over 100 participants to help answer it with hope and action.

Bringing together caregivers, special educators, and senior professionals, the training explored how to empower children and young people with deafblindness and multiple disabilities to live independent, dignified, and inclusive lives.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 :
• 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮-𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹: Senior professionals co-created a pioneering tool tailored to the Indian context, enabling more accurate assessment of children with deafblindness across developmental areas.
• 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀: Parents and caregivers learned how to identify and nurture pre-vocational and vocational abilities, preparing young people for meaningful livelihoods.
• 𝗦𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 & 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 (𝗦𝗥𝗛𝗥): Participants gained strategies to address puberty, menstrual hygiene, relationships, and self-care—essential for fostering autonomy and safety.
• 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹-𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴: Educators explored how vocational training intersects with mental health, ensuring holistic development.
• 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗘𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Discussions highlighted the role of families and communities in supporting independence and preventing abuse.

This training is more than a milestone; it is a collective step towards an India where every person with deafblindness and multiple disabilities can lead a self-directed life.

A special thanks to our external facilitators Veena Lakhumulani and Dr Shilpa Manogna for leading insightful sessions, and to our generous supporters—APF, Kamal India Foundation, JSSF, MMF, and John Lewis Foundation—for making this possible.

We extend heartfelt gratitude to all caregivers, educators, professionals, and partners who joined us. Together, we are building an independent and inclusive future.
