Dr. Nosher Antia, a well known surgeon and philontropist, conceived the idea of forming an umbrella organization, for all categories of disabled, with a view to support the concept of equal opportunities for them. The late Mr. Vijay Merchant - Legendary Cricketer, Industrialist and philanthropist - concurred with the views of Dr. Antia, and placed the proposal before a group of eminent people and NASEOH was born. The Constitution of NASEOH.National Society for Equal Opportunities for the Handicapped India - was drafted by Capt.H.J.M. Desai, on 27th September, 1968, and NASEOH was formally founded on 9th December 1968. 1983 - a milestone: In 1983, Government of Maharashtra, decided to present NASEOH with Three acres of land, in the suburbs of Mumbai. This was a result of the relentless effort and pursuit of Mrs. Nama Bhat, former Executive Secretary & Director General ( who served NASEOH for more than two decades) and her team members.

NASEOH focuses on making the disabled self-reliant. To that
end, it is involved with education, vocational training,
finding employment, providing aids/appliances, prevention
activities, medical treatment, spreading awareness,
organising sports, and giving recognition, for physically-
and mentally-challenged children and adults.
One can help in several ways:
a) To reach the unreached: NASEOH focuses
on urban and rural areas e.g. it has adopted 5 slums in
Mumbai and 3 tehsils in Ahmednagar. So do refer the disabled
to its various services.
b) Early Intervention Program for Children
