How this Bengaluru-based organisation is empowering India’s intellectually disabled true When 22-year old Ravi Kiran was brought to AMBA – Centres for Economic Empowerment of the Intellectually Disabled (AMBA – CEEICs), he had an IQ of 11, much below the normal average of 65 – 70. Unable to speak and perform even simple tasks such as putting pen to paper, he constantly needed someone by his side. But today, eight years later, Ravi has already trained special educators from over 150 partner centres AMBA works with across India. Along with this, he works as a Data Operator and earns close to Rs 10, 000 every month. He is also part of AMBA – CEEICs’ hardware team and travels 30 km for work, changing two buses, all by himself!
