Partnership with Amar Seva Sangam
To further strengthen and scale its services, BD Tatti Trust has partnered with Amar Seva Sangam by adopting the Enabling Inclusion® (EI) App and Model. This innovative technology enables structured screening, assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring, enhancing both centre-based and home-based programs.
From September 8–11, 2025, a four-day onboarding training was conducted at the Trust’s Gadag centre by Amar Seva Sangam’s training and technology team. The program combined theory, live demonstrations, and hands-on practice using both the web and mobile versions of the EI App.
A total of 30 staff members—including program managers, teachers, physiotherapists, caseworkers, and field staff
Building Technology-Enabled Services
With this milestone, Shri B D Tatti Memorial Charitable Trust is now equipped to deliver structured, technology-driven early intervention and rehabilitation services. This collaboration ensures better outcomes for children and families, while also strengthening community-based rehabilitation efforts in North Karnataka.
