Today, about 2500 children have benefited with visible changes like better health, mainstream education and well honed skills. To ensure they do not lose the joys of childhood, these children are encouraged to play sports like cricket, badminton and Indoor games like carom. Exposure visits to study their natural environment and celebration of festivals add a delightful flavor to an otherwise dull and a dismal life.
