About Us
Urged by parents of children with disabilities attending a free clinic in Kolkata run by Purobie Bose (a teacher of the deaf, qualified from the University of Manchester, U.K., 1971), REACH was founded in October 1980 at a meeting of founder members, parents, and well-wishers.
The Society was officially registered under the West Bengal Societies Act XXVI of 1961 on March 31, 1981. REACH remains dedicated to the growth, empowerment, and development of children and persons with disabilities across India.
