EORTEP- Aya Nagar Delhi

Advancing Inclusive Education, Disability Empowerment and Accessible Learning The Equal Opportunity Rural Training Education Programme (EORTEP) in Aya Nagar, Delhi, is our flagship model for promoting inclusive education, disability inclusion, and accessible learning for children with disabilities. Through a child-centred approach that combines individualized educational support, media-based learning, life-skills development, and community engagement, the programme empowers Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) to learn, grow, build independence, and thrive with dignity. Designed around the principles of accessibility, equal opportunity, and holistic development, EORTEP creates a supportive learning environment that recognizes every child's unique ability, needs, and potential. The programme demonstrates how inclusive educational practices and innovative learning methods can expand opportunities for children with diverse abilities while fostering greater participation in family, school, and community life. We work closely with each child, their family, and the wider community to address barriers to inclusion, strengthen support systems, promote acceptance, and create pathways towards greater confidence, independence, and social participation.

Model Programme For Inclusion

Model Programme for Inclusion: Building an Inclusive Society Through Participation, Dignity and Rights Environmental Global Inclusion is Jan Madhyam's model for advancing an inclusive society founded on four fundamental principles: Inclusion, Participation, Dignity and Rights. Built on over four decades of grassroots experience, the model promotes the meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in society by strengthening community inclusion, creating equal opportunities, fostering inclusive workplaces and upholding the rights and dignity of every individual. Over the years, the organisation has developed and continuously strengthened its own sustainable model of inclusion through regular programme reviews, community engagement, impact assessment and evolving outreach strategies. Grounded in its vision of an equitable and accessible society, Jan Madhyam has consistently worked to challenge barriers, address inequalities and create opportunities for persons with disabilities to realise their full potential. At the heart of this approach is a firm belief that disability inclusion must go beyond welfare and rehabilitation to embrace equal rights, active participation, accessibility and social empowerment.

Disability Awareness

Srijan Ability Programme – Creating Awareness. Challenging Perceptions. Championing Inclusion. Initiated in 1999, the Srijan Ability Programme has been instrumental in expanding access to schools and creating awareness about the abilities and potential of persons with disabilities. Its early interventions helped Jan Madhyam establish meaningful connections with several schools in Aya Nagar village, Delhi, which today houses the organisation's Inclusive Lab. Building on this experience, the programme expanded its outreach in 2023 to approximately eight schools across Gonda and Basti districts of Uttar Pradesh. Through innovative, interactive and creative engagement, Srijan works to transform how children, teachers and educational institutions perceive disability. The programme uses experiential learning to move beyond conventional disability awareness campaigns. Its activities include: Creative and Experiential Learning: Puppet shows, creative workshops and engaging activities that encourage children to understand disability through participation and interaction. Inclusive Art and Expression: Vibrant murals and creative projects in government secondary schools that communicate messages of inclusion, accessibility and equal opportunity. Ability-Based Demonstrations: Activities led by Jan Madhyam's team of persons with disabilities, including trained trainees and educators, showcasing their skills, creativity and capabilities. School Collaborations: Joint projects with students and teachers that encourage meaningful interaction, collaboration and a deeper understanding of disability inclusion. A distinctive feature of Srijan is its inclusive team-led approach. Persons with disabilities take the lead in facilitating activities and demonstrating their abilities, enabling children to experience inclusion first-hand. Following each school engagement, students and teachers share their feedback through structured forms that assess changes in their perceptions and understanding of disability. The overwhelmingly positive feedback reflects the value of direct interaction in challenging stereotypes and nurturing empathy, acceptance and respect. By bringing persons with disabilities into classrooms as educators, facilitators and role models, Srijan creates opportunities for children to recognise ability beyond disability and embrace diversity as a natural part of society. Community Engagement: Creating Change from the Ground Up Jan Madhyam believes that sustainable social transformation begins with active community participation. Building an inclusive society requires more than awareness campaigns; it calls for sustained engagement with families, parents, educators and community stakeholders. Through its community-based disability awareness initiatives, Jan Madhyam works to address misconceptions, strengthen understanding of disability rights and encourage the active participation of persons with disabilities in everyday community life.
