PIED was a joint venture between the MHRD and UNICEF launched in 1986 to strengthen programs for children with physical and intellectual disabilities. It aimed to bring disabled children into general schools as much as possible through a composite area approach, utilizing existing infrastructure with multi-category trained teachers and special aids. The project was implemented in several Indian states and cities to support rehabilitation and monitor child progress with community involvement.
