About
Sarthak Educational Trust is a Non Government Organization which is working towards the empowerment of people with disability. It was founded by Dr. Jitender Aggarwal who was a Dentist by profession but lost his central vision due to a genetic disorder called the macular degeneration. He could not practice dentistry and hence he himself got trained in medical transcription (a then known profession for people with visual impairment). After he completed his training, he realized that that the opportunities for job were very less. This combination of personal loss as well the empathy with other fellow people with disability encouraged him to start the organization which will dedicatedly work towards the employment of people with disability, and it is now known as SARTHAK. Today Inclusion, Empowerment, and Mainstreaming of Persons with disability is the guiding principle of Sarthak Educational Trust.
