Impressed by the Work done by St. John’s Leprosy Welfare Association, DIK helped to purchase land to construct the school and hostel buildings using their FCRA (Foreign Currency Regulation Act) permission. After 10 years of exemplary work, there was a split in St. John’s leprosy Welfare Association and a new organisation called the “Gnanodaya Rehabilitation Association” was formed to continue with the operations of the school. Today, the school along with the playground and agricultural land has been brought under this association and the association has collaborated with DIK to run the school.
