This organisation provides assistance for the community, rehabilitation, education, career development, medical care, etc. This paper made an attempt to study the functions and duties of the PID in NIEPID. The NIEPID plays a key role in special education classes, research development, advanced technology, etc. Their essential duties are to help them learn the special education system and provide the PID with activities for skills development.
