Activities that are organised include: observance of Blind Awareness Month, World Sight Day, White Cane Day, and International Day for Persons with Disabilities 
Consultations, Seminars, Rallies, Dinner in the Dark are organised on an annual or biennial basis. Information disseminated all help to improve the status of persons with disabilities. 
Short-term Courses in Sign Language are conducted to enable more hearing persons to communicate with persons who are speech and hearing impaired. 

TRAINING and SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
