Government of Maharashtra's Disha Abhiyan embeds pre-vocational training within its broader mission: promoting functional independence among students with intellectual disabilities.
The curriculum spans different age groups—3–14 years and 14–18 years—ensuring a continuum that naturally transitions into pre-vocational skill-building
Teaching Modules include life skills and pre-vocational training designed to prepare learners for independence and employability
Individualized framework is leveraged by IEPs and digital tracking through the DISHA web portal
