National Centre for promotion of employment for disabled people: Dignifying the disabled

The National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People (NCPEDP) is a not-for-profit organisation advocating for disability rights across India. Through research, campaigns, mentoring, and leadership development, it drives policy change for inclusion. The case explores how the founder’s deep commitment led to a social movement, culminating in a landmark 2016 law. Following the founder’s passing, NCPEDP sustained its advocacy efforts. It examines how a small organisation made significant strides in two decades, highlighting factors like perspective, cultural cohesion, strategic design, and governance. The case underscores how individual efforts can create lasting institutional legacies.
