Employment > Schemes > Vocational Rehabilitation Centres

The Government of India has set up 17 Vocational Rehabilitation Centres (V.R.C's). The main purpose of these centres is to evaluate the capabilities of disabled clients. They also sponsor candidates to potential employers. There is acute shortage of sheltered workshop for severely disabled persons. The Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment is therefore exploring the production centres manned largely by disabled persons on the pattern of welfare factories in China.

The main objectives of V.R.C's are :

• Vocational evaluation and adjustment of disabled persons
• Assessment of the medical, psychological, rehabilitation needs
• Assist in developing rehabilitation plans depending upon the specific needs
• Sponsor disabled registrants against notified/identified vacancies
• Act as distribution centres for various schemes like scholarship/aids and appliances
• Make referrals to financial institutions for funding self-employment ventures
