Watch | Transforming lives of the differently-disabled in Madurai
The Hindu
The bakery ‘Thank U’ was started in 2020 by the Indian Association for the Blind (IAB) with the sole aim of providing job opportunities to the differently abled people.
Most people of Madurai would probably not have missed the sight of freight vans of the bakery outlet ‘Thank U,’ bearing the photo of Mr. Ganesan.
‘Thank U,’ a bakery started in 2020 by the IAB administration with the sole aim of providing job opportunities to the differently abled people, has provided the chance for many differently abled to live on their own.
M. Abdul Raheem, vice-president of IAB, said that his father and founder of IAB S.M.A. Jinnah himself being a visually challenged started the association to champion the cause of differently abled.
IAB, which was started in 1985 just with a hostel facility for the college going visually challenged people, has evolved into a centre meant for improving the lives of differently abled.
