If has often been felt that persons with Autism, Cerebral palsy, Mental Retardation and Multiple Disabilities, require constant and life long care of their persons. Care giving families have reported that with the increasing age of the child with disability as well as with the increasing age of the primary care givers, particularly the mother, providing care becomes more stressful, more demanding, labour intensive, costly and tiring. Although there are no reliable statistics to determine the population of persons with autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and multiple disabilities, it is generally known that those families that have amongst themselves any person having any of the above disabilities go through tremendous physical and financial strains throughout the life of the affected persons. Very often the families do not wish to admit them in the institution their disabled members not merely because cost but also because there is an emotional bonding which dictates the decision to retain the disabled family member with them. The object of the National Trust for the welfare of persons with autism, cerebral palsy, mental retardation and multiple disabilities Act, 1999 is to empower families to retain their disabled members within the family and the community.

           However, families are often reluctant and/or do not have the financial means for sending a person to an institution of any type. Hence there is a need to bring relief to such families by providing a pool of trained caregivers whose services may be hired.

1. Build up a pool of trained caregivers who may be hired on temporary/permanent basis by such of the families that may need it.
2. To build up a pool of trained professional care givers thereby providing employment opportunity to deserving people.
