Vision
Nearly 50% of total PwDs in India (1.34 crores) are in the employable age of 15 to 59 years, Over 70% of this population remains unemployed and seeks an opportunity to be gainfully employed.
If this untapped potential of human resource is channelized and brought into mainstream of economic growth, it can translate to an increase of 5-7% in India’s GDP as indicated by a World Bank Study. These statistics fuel the urgent need for the creation of an ecosystem for the economic empowerment of PwDs.
Mission
The mission of the Inclusive Divyangjan Entrepreneur Association (IDEA) is to enable 5000 entrepreneurs and facilitate 100,000 jobs for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in the next 5 years, aiming to make India an Inclusive Capital of the world. IDEA is inspired by the vision of Atma Nirbhar Bharat and is promoted by NSDC, SAKSHAM, and Believe India. Through initiatives like the Divyangjan Incubation center and a comprehensive Portal and App, IDEA seeks to empower PwDs economically and foster a sustainable, scalable ecosystem for their economic independence.
