History & Background
Origin
At the inception of the society in Bhopal in 2005 we found this is a pressing need to start a special school for the Mentally Challenged children, as they were locked up behind the doors and no one to care and educate them. During the survey we found that the children of this group belong to very poor families and parents were unhappy and depressed. So, we started school on 8th December 2005 with 16 children in an inertial village Lambakheda, Bhopal. We submit students of different categories irrespective of cast and need.
