YUVA (Youths Union for Voluntary Action) envisions a world where the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities are fully recognized and upheld. The organization works to ensure that individuals with disabilities can participate meaningfully and effectively in society and attain a high quality of life. Through its inclusive, rights-based approach, YUVA aims to build an equitable and compassionate society that guarantees equal rights, opportunities, and respect to all—regardless of ability, gender, race, or religion.

An equitable world where persons with disabilities enjoy their rights, dignity, and active participation in society, resulting in improved quality of life.

To establish an inclusive society that ensures equal rights, opportunities, and respect for all individuals, irrespective of their abilities, gender, race, or religion.

YUVA actively collaborates with persons with disabilities, their families, communities, and institutions to promote empowerment and inclusion. It supports the creation and strengthening of Disabled People’s Organizations (DPOs) to help address systemic barriers and social exclusion.

In Jharkhand, YUVA plays a pivotal role in advancing Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) initiatives—ensuring that persons with disabilities are not left behind in community development efforts, but are instead integral contributors to local progress.

Advocate for the inclusion of marginalized and traditionally excluded groups—particularly children, women, and individuals with multiple or severe disabilities—in alignment with Article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) and broader human rights frameworks.

Ensure that children with disabilities are enrolled and meaningfully included in Anganwadi centers, as well as local primary and secondary schools, alongside their peers from the same community.

Strengthen the abilities and understanding of teachers and educators to effectively meet the needs of children with disabilities through specialized training and resources.

Facilitate and advocate for equal access to rights, services, and recognition for persons with disabilities across education, employment, governance, and community participation.

YUVA places special focus on supporting the most vulnerable and underserved within the disabled community, including:

• The poorest of the poor in remote rural and urban settings
   
• Individuals with multiple and severe disabilities
   
• Children and women with disabilities, who often face layered and intensified marginalization
   

Through its targeted, participatory, and inclusive interventions, YUVA works to bridge gaps in access, opportunity, and empowerment. The organization envisions a future where persons with disabilities are not only recipients of aid but are recognized as active stakeholders—leading their own development and contributing meaningfully to the progress of their communities.
