PRODUCTION CENTRE

A production centre to provide employment to disabled persons was started in 1983 in Government built sheds and later shifted to workshops built with financial support from MISEREOR, GERMANY on land leased from the Archdiocese of Pondicherry. The unit employs around 35 people and produces components similar to the Katpadi unit. The earnings from the production centre cover the maintenance cost of the training centre and school.

TRAINING CENTRE

In 1982 a training centre was started in rented buildings and moved to specially constructed buildings on leased land in 1987. This centre prepares students for the turner’s trade under the NCVT scheme. New trades are being added. New hostels are being constructed with financial aid from MISEREOR and the Government of India.

TRANSITIONAL SCHOOL

a co-educational, residential, transitional school for orthopaedically handicapped was started in 1991. Currently there are 50 children here who are given regular physiotherapy. The children are helped in integration into general schools nearest to their homes at the earliest opportunity.
