At Manovikas Special School for Mentally Disabled Children, charity is not an occasional act—it is a way of life. Our institution is built on the core values of compassion, dignity, and inclusion. As a registered non-profit and tax-exempt organization, we are committed to serving the public good by supporting children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families, through a range of social welfare activities.
We are more than a school—we are a community of care, providing not just education, but healthcare, counseling, skill development, therapy, and emotional support to some of society’s most vulnerable individuals.
Our Mission in Social Welfare
Our social welfare efforts are guided by a simple but powerful mission: To enable children with special needs to live fuller, more meaningful lives, while supporting their families and communities with understanding and resources. This mission drives every initiative we undertake—from classroom teaching to community outreach, from therapy to vocational training.
Healthcare & Rehabilitation
Children with intellectual disabilities often require continuous medical and therapeutic support. At Manovikas, we offer:
- Regular medical checkups and assessments by professionals
- Physiotherapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy
- Nutritional and hygienic care to support physical well-being
- Assistance with mobility aids and specialized equipment
These services are made possible through the generous support of donors and partner organizations, helping us provide care at minimal or no cost to many families.
Counseling & Emotional Support
The emotional health of a child and their caregivers is just as important as physical health. We provide:
- Individual and group counseling sessions for students
- Parental guidance and support groups to help families cope
- Awareness sessions to eliminate stigma and create inclusive mindsets
Our trained counselors and special educators work hand-in-hand to ensure that each child feels understood, accepted, and encouraged.
Shelter & Safety
While we are not a residential facility, Manovikas is a second home to many. We ensure a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Our school premises are inclusive and designed with accessibility in mind, giving each child the space to grow safely and confidently.
Community Outreach & Public Awareness
Our charity work extends beyond the school walls. We conduct:
- Awareness campaigns to educate society about intellectual disabilities
- Inclusive community events, exhibitions, and talent showcases
- Workshops and training programs for caregivers and teachers
- Outreach programs in underserved rural areas
- Collaboration with local government bodies to identify children in need and bring them into the fold of education and care
By advocating for inclusion and understanding, we help change public perceptions and reduce the social isolation experienced by many children with disabilities.
Your Support Makes the Difference
Our social welfare work is made possible through the continued generosity of individual donors, charitable organizations, corporate CSR programs, and kind-hearted volunteers. Every rupee donated, every hour volunteered, and every service sponsored contributes directly to improving the lives of these children and reducing the burden on public welfare systems.
We take pride in being transparent, accountable, and purpose-driven. As a government-recognized and tax-exempt charitable organization, donations made to Manovikas are eligible for deductions under applicable tax laws.

Campaigns for fund
Our Causes .
FUNDRAISING
Every charity exists to raise money for its cause through fundraising, but there is more to charity work than going door to door rattling a tin! Fundraisers, or trust fundraisers, often need to apply for funding from large organisations by putting together funding proposals.
VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT
Volunteer managers are typically responsible for recruiting and conducting interviews.
EDUCATION
Several nonprofit organizations work to improve education. Education is an essential part of every child's life. We are committed to providing quality education to children with mental disabilities. Our dedicated teaching faculty delivers highly recommended and personalized instruction to support each child’s growth and development.
