Braj Chetna’s initiative ‘Maharishi Dayanand School’, located on Mathura Goverdhan road in Mathura India, a special school for special children  aims at providing a specific education and in a “barrier free” environment to the underprivileged and differently able students and facilitate, counsel and train these young seeds to become valuable member of the society.

​

The school takes care of the education and training of differently able children through various programmes and classrooms with the help of several learning and assessment devices.  At the moment our school has some basic infrastructure like a computer lab for technical education, a small library, speech and audiometry labs, physiotherapy room, etc. with doctors visiting the premises regularly for frequent check-ups.

​

A team of ‘Commandoes’ have also been developed from our existing students who have been provided with special training on fire fighting, crowd management, event management and rescuing skills during difficult or emergency situations. They have been taught with self defence techniques for their own safety. The team is also involved by the local Police department for maintaining safety and security at various public events.

​

A ‘Yagyashala’ (place for fire sacrifice) has been constructed in the middle of a lush green garden which is maintained by the students. They are provided with awareness on the upkeep of environment and are taught with Vedic knowledge to keep them grounded to our culture and roots. Our institution believes in providing both practical and theoretical knowledge for the all round development of their students.

We therefore urge you to contribute to our cause as we need to develop and improve some very basic disabled friendly infrastructural facilities in the school like ramps, hand railings, signage, tactile pavers for the visually impaired, low-vision aids, scanners, mobility devices etc., constructing proper and hygienic toilets accessible to physically challenged children,  latest learning devices, instruments and equipments for their treatment, installing water coolers for cool and clean drinking water keeping in mind long summer months in India, hygienic canteen for refreshments.

​

At the moment service is limited to around 400 students in and around Mathura, but we aim to have around 1,000 students by the end of 2019 so that more and more disabled children from poor families can benefit through this program.
