We are happy to share that DRF’s  contribution to Persons with Disability to earn and live with dignity has been recognized today in this country as DRF gets the prestigious ‘ABP CSR Leadership Award’ in the category of Promoting Employment for the Physically Challenged.

Ms Srilakshmi, Program Manager, LABS PwD, Dr Reddy’s Foundation received the award in the presence of esteemed guests, jury and peers at the award ceremony held at Taj Lands End, Mumbai on February 17, 2016. In 2010, DRF had initiated the LABS-PwD program, which is aimed exclusively at people with disabilities. 

The program addresses the needs of disabled youth in the age group of 18-30 who are constrained by low income levels, inadequate skills, irregular employment,  debt burdens and with little bargaining power at the economic and social level.
Today we have grown to 25 centers across India, having reached out to  over 7000 aspirants who have found a new lease of career and  life with our skill development training. Our aspirants today work with prestigious employers like Google, HCL , Tata Tele among many others.
Kudos to the team!
