Population of visually impaired persons has
been increasing which is evident from the latest
census report. Further, the availability of financial
resources with the government is not compatible
with the resources required for running programme
and schemes for rehabilitation. Moreover, the
Government has categorically stated in the National
disability policy that the government will not
be able to provide financial support to any project
beyond ten years. Keeping all this in view and
in order to fulfill its objectives and run various
welfare programmes, the Federation has been implementing
a programme called “Special Programme
for Welfare of the Blind” to augment
its financial resources. This is a unique programme
where one can devote his energy for social work
by soliciting donation for the federation on one
hand and on other hand, earn his livelihood through
incentives under the programme.
One may join this programme by donating Rs.551
(Five Hundred Fifty one only) (NON-REFUNDABLE)
and get attractive incentives against the donation
solicited by him or by his team. Thus, while the
donor contributes towards the self-reliance of
the blind individual through his/her valuable
contribution on one hand, he/she also earns incentives
by soliciting donation from others and enrolling
them in this programme. Donations made to the
federation are exempted under section 80-G of
Income Tax Act, Additionally, following are the
sources of incentives as a result of ones affords
for getting donations from others under the programmes:-
After donating Rs.551/- the donor gets an entry
in Active zone, Passive zone, Passive zone A and
Passive zone B.
1. The Active Zone amount is Rs.185/-
2. The Passive Zone amount is Rs.280/- remaining
Rs.76/- goes towards the Welfare activities of
the Federation.
