A small seed was sown in 1977 with a great mission & vision to serve Mentally Challenged.

To meet the challenge of great shortage of man power in the field of Rehabilitation, we have started 29 training programmes till today we could produce 8071 Rehab professionals who are serving all over country and abroad. We could serve 85.75 Lakhs of disabled persons. Most of them coming from below poverty line, which cannot pay even the meager charges.The beneficiaries come not only from TS, AP, and all parts of the country and abroad.
