Achievements
Many drop outs from General Schools with different kinds of learning difficulties (disabilities) come here for admission. Quite a good number of them are helped to overcome their problems through remedial teaching, corrective measures and trained to earn their livelihood. Some of them are able to earn their livelihood and lead happy married life thereafter. In this way they become part of the mainstream of the society.
