Mobility India was set up in Bangalore, South India, in 1994 to reduce the wide gap between the need and availability of rehabilitation services in rural India.  Mr. Chapal Khasnabis, the founder Executive Director was instrumental in establishing and shaping Mobility India. His vision and determination are the guiding forces behind MI's success. MI promotes mobility for persons with disabilities, especially those in rural areas, who are poor especially women and children through awareness raising, training, improved services, advocacy, research and development, and all other activities towards an inclusive society where persons with disabilities have equal rights and a good quality of life.   

MI is the organisation that has a perfect blend of disability and non-disability at all levels - an innovative organisation of abilities and commitment and its approach to address the real need. Mobility India has come up in a big way since its inception. It has grown tremendously because of the need.  The Regional Resource Centre was established in 1998 at Kolkata to promote our work in North Eastern part of India 

Mobility India’s Rehabilitation Research and Training Centre – “Millennium Building on Disability” is a state of the art model disabled friendly building with various accessibility features for all.  It is an ideal model of how a building can influence Changes in the Disability field and it houses all of Mobility India’s activities.

 It is also the only Training centre in Karnataka in particular and South India in general to train and develop manpower especially persons with disabilities in the field of Orthotics, Prosthetics and Rehabilitation and also promotion of Community Based Rehabilitation.

 Students include persons from low-income groups in rural areas and urban slums, especially women and persons with disabilities. It is envisaged that they will undergo the training and go back to their communities to work for persons with disabilities in their respective places.
