About Us
Quizabled is a unique and first of its kind initiative in India where children and youth with disabilities are given an opportunity to showcase knowledge and learning abilities. The main purpose of this program is to provide a platform for knowledge development, to raise awareness by dispelling myths about the potentials of children and youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities, besides enabling participation of the differently abled in quizzing events and even take part in competitive exams in the future.
Quizabled was conceptualized in the year 2016 by Seva-in-Action (SiA) and powered by LTIMindtree (erstwhile LTI) supported under its CSR initiative.
