A Message
From our Chief Functionary & Co Founder, Sudeep Goyal
Special Education & Child Rights are two issues about which we feel very strongly. Children with disabilities in general and those with intellectual & developmental in particular are most vulnerable to neglect and abuse thereby requiring intense efforts to realize their rights. Our intervention is guided by the core themes of Inclusion & Accessibility on the verticals of Enlightment, Education, Employment and Empowerment. Through our dedicated team concerted efforts all these years, we have demonstrated tangible improvements w.r.t self-help skills, social and communication skills, academic & cognitive skills, physical and mental development leading up to livelihood in the children & young adults with disabilities thus increasing AKJ acceptance among local community.
