Gnana Deepam

Gnana Deepam is all about strong conviction and social values. It is a brief compilation of the spirit and endeavour of one individual wholly committe Read mored to keep this flame of conviction and values alive through Gnana Deepam, the school for the disabled children of GOD. It is the story of those young innocent lives who have been provided with a new meaning for their existence and a capacity for facing life within their capabilities without the fear of discrimination and ridicule. And most of all, this presentation is a tribute to the handful of dedicated teachers who share a common vision of seeking a better world for these lesser-gifted children, with their untiring work, love, compassion and an infinite patience. Each child is trained according to his/her abilities. The end result is astonishing. You have to see it in person to experience the change in the child. One visit to Gnana Deepam convinces you that every child here is a  SPECIAL  child guided towards their classrooms, perhaps, not a child endowed with all the normal capabilities but still a  CHILD . This child is not a curio, an exhibit, it is a normal child with feelings inside like any of us. Accept them as they are. The objective of Gnana Deepam is to impart such training so as to make every child self-reliant and reduce the burden for their parents. Special children belonging to low income families trained by the school. The school provides academic, vocational, medical and psychological support to the children and their parents. Children are assessed on (MDPS) - Madras Development Program skill and practical ability and put in 11 categories. The Mentally challenged child is an unwanted baby - both to the society and to their parents. Parents can never recover from the shock and consider them a burden. Consequently, they withdraw from the society and make no investment on the child. Gnanadeepam wants to change this mindset. - Our SPECIAL CHILDREN are equal to one and everyone if they are trained and cared for. They are no less than anyone in this world. Our Special children are the best.
