IEDSS (Inclusive Education for Disabled Children at Secondary Stage)

 We are running this program with the help of the government of India and the IEDSS cell based at GCERT Gandhinagar. Here we cover disabled children with different categories from Std 9th - 12th. These children study in the normal schools of their own villages. Our special teachers who are trained in that particular category teach these children and provide all the special training needed as per the disability of the student.
