The Vocational Rehabilitation Centre (VRC) at PSRD is transforming lives by providing inclusive micro-credit opportunities to persons with disabilities and underprivileged individuals.

In addition to financial support, VRC also provides essential mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, and tri-cy cost, significantly improving mobility and restoring dignity for individuals with physical disabilities.
