VOSAP Founder Shri Pranav Desai recently met with a few beneficiaries of the Orbit device to hear their stories and gather real-time feedback on their progress and product usage.
The journeys of our beneficiaries continue to inspire us and their determination, growth, and the impact they are creating with the help of assistive devices obtained through VOSAP subsidies are truly remarkable. These conversations serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative role accessibility can play in fostering dignity, independence, and inclusion.
As we continue to host more such interactions, stay tuned for more inspiring stories from our empowered and resilient VOSAP beneficiaries.
“Shri Pranav Desai has set an ambitious goal for our Orbit beneficiaries to not only become taxpayers contributing to the Indian economy, but to also achieve such a level of independence that within five years, they are able to donate at least one Orbit device to support another visually impaired individual like themselves.”
