Empowering the Visually Impaired.
Our Story & Purpose
The National Association for the Blind (India) – NAB – is a pioneering organization committed to empowering the visually impaired. Founded in 1951 in Mumbai by legendary cricketer Mr. Vijay Merchant, NAB has been instrumental in advocating for the rights and welfare of individuals with visual impairments across India. Recognizing the need for regional outreach, NAB, Unit Maharashtra, was established in Nashik on December 14, 1983, with the vision of Mr. Vijay Merchant, supported by esteemed leaders like the late Mr. Bejon Desai, Mr. Devkisanji Sarda and Mr. Hemant Takle.
Since its inception, NAB, Unit Maharashtra, has grown into one of the most influential NGOs, providing education, vocational training, employment support, blindness prevention programs, and legal assistance. Officially registered with the Charity Commissioner under Registration No. ‘E 460 Nashik’ on June 1, 1984, the organization continues to transform lives, fostering independence and inclusion for the visually impaired.
