Brief History

Building inclusive capacity through LBS Centre

CeDS has developed as a specialised centre for disability studies, skill development, counselling and community-linked support.

Established under the aegis of the LBS Centre for Science and Technology, CeDS began its journey to address gaps in disability research, rehabilitation support, training and awareness. Over time, it has expanded into a dedicated centre for inclusive education and practical support.
