Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled is a National Award winning NGO, which works towards empowering visually impaired, disabled and underprivileged people in India. The Cricket Association for the blind in India (CABI) is the Sports pillar and the cricketing arm of Samarthanam. CABI is the apex body organising cricket for the blind and is affiliated to World Blind Cricket Ltd (WBC).BNI Gurgaon and Faridabad together represent over 1200 entrepreneurs, professionals and businesspersons who have come together on a simple philosophy of Givers Gain, to change the way the world does business. It is a part of BNI International which has over 280,000 members worldwide, and over 40,000 members in India alone.In spite of being a cricket-loving nation, there is a lack of recognition and sponsorship for blind cricket and the players. Arranging Funds for CABI remains the biggest challenge, as both central government, as well as state government, do not recognise blind cricket. Events like Cricket for the blind was an opportunity to showcase challenges faced by blind cricketers and to get a chance to raise some funds for the cause.
