Arjun: NABET India works for the employment and empowerment of persons with disabilities. We identify jobs that can be proficiently performed by the differently-abled and get these jobs outsourced from companies and get these performed by the disabled. Differently-abled constitute over 70 million in India and over 80% of these people are unemployed.

Nabet identifies this innate desire and works in partnership with leading companies to solve the problem of unemployment.

It is even uncertain whether those ambulances, regardless of having a paramedic or not, operate properly or not.
