Are there any Government Grants available forindividuals to purchase assistive devices/technology?

There is a Central Scheme called Assistance to Disabled Persons for purchase/fitting of aids and Appliances (ADIP). The ceiling for the cost of Equipment is Rs. 6000/-. Full aid is given to those whose income is up to Rs. 5000/- per month. 50% is given to people with income between Rs. 5000/- per month and Rs. 8000/- per month. Cost of travelling, boarding and lodging are given to beneficiaries. This scheme is implemented through NGOs. Many assistive devices and technologies cost much higher and those are not covered under the scheme. More information about the scheme is available at Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment website.
