Arushi

The idea of Arushi germinated when one of our founders, Anil Mudgal, got a call for help from a friend, who said that a visually impaired assistant professor in a Bhopal college needed readers to help him prepare for his lectures. This professor was Rohit Trivedi, our other founder, and it was this one phone call that started a friendship in 1989 that has now blossomed as Arushi. Rohit and Anil along with their friends Vipin, Sunil and DS Chauhan then began recording audio books for 5 visually impaired school children, reading to the blind and raising funds to pay for the education of these children.

Over the years, Arushi has grown to encompass work that develops capabilities in people with any disability and other groups of our society who are marginalized by the mainstream.
