The 2012–13 Annual Report shows ideas from the previous year beginning to mature. LABS-S gains confidence as aspirants recommend the programme and employers pay recruitment fees, while retaining flexibility for young people unable to afford the full cost. The more revealing shift, however, is in the widening scope of inclusion. PwD LABS expands across states, introduces resources for hearing-impaired participants and tests the inclusion of young people with locomotor disabilities within regular LABS centres. In rural communities, the emphasis moves from training alone towards measurable income enhancement, bringing together farm technologies, local employment, women’s collectives and community-based extension. Behind these field programmes, DRF also launches FOIS, an online system intended to improve reporting and operational decisions. Read this edition to see a portfolio becoming more differentiated and more connected at once, with programme design, financial sustainability, workplace inclusion and organisational systems beginning to develop as parts of a shared strategy.
