The school shelters and educates deaf, speech-impaired and mentally retarded children from poor, rural backgrounds. When children are admitted their hearing level is determined and they are given the hearing aid equipment necessary for them. They are provided special speech therapy classes in addition to the regular curriculum.
The school is also planning to start an ITI for hearing-impaired children where they will acquire technical and industry-based skills like Fitting, Turning, Carpentry etc. Vocational Skills like Weaving, typing and sewing are already being imparted to the children. All the facilities provided by the school are free, including food and lodging.
