If given proper guidance and opportunity, a handicap
person can be a useful component of the society and lead a better life
like a normal person In order to develop skills in them, the society,
besides education, provides them with various vocational and
technical trainings like music, painting, Computers, needle work and
knitting etc. according to their interests. These facilities are
playing an important role in overall development of the disable and
they are getting full opportunity to improve their personality in a
healthy and friendly environment of sympathy and mutual Co-operation,
where inferiority complex and disabilities are not able to influence
their personality.
In this way, Organisation's education programme is
doing very useful work in generating awareness among general people on
one hand and trying to make disabled children self-sufficient and an
important part of the society on the other.
In the year, under consideration, our children took
part in several Inter school and Inter state competitions such as
Inter school debate, essay writing & quiz competition organized by PUS
& Mahila Manch, Pratibha Protsahan Inter school competitions of
painting, devate, music, essay-writing and G.K. etc. In these
competitions, they took part with their normal counter part and won
many attractive prizes. School children are frequently invited to
perform cultural programme like group dances, mono acting and stage
plays etc. by different clubs and social organizations.
