Rajinder Johar on Asar with Aamir
Family of Disabled
Family of Disabled (FOD) is a registered voluntary organization serving people with disabilities since 1992. Being a cross – disability organization, FOD is able to serve people with different disabilities.
Founded by Dr. Rajinder Johar, after he became quadriplegic due to a gunshot injury to his spine, FOD aims at building and nurturing the capacities of disabled persons. We strive to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and assist them in becoming self- reliant.
FOD has always worked towards filling up the void wherever existing by introducing the programmes specific to the needs of people with disabilities. These programmes are versatile and we have been successful in bridging the gaps as per the requirement.
Beyond Limits, Apna Rozgar Scheme (ARS), Gyanpath and Newspaper Pencils are some of the unique initiatives of FOD, which probably are also first of its kind across the nation.
