Prayas Vocational Institute for Mentally Handicapped

PRAYAS, as the name implies is an Endeavour to respect and restore Human dignity. It stems from an understanding of the needs of others, and acceptance of their rights and choices.

The Indian Constitution confers upon every citizen the right to health, education and equality of opportunity to lead a life with dignity. However, the infrastructural and social support needed to avail these rights is not in place. In such circumstances, one can visualize the desolate condition and social stigma which special needs children face. Disability was earlier viewed as a medical rather than a social phenomenon. Prayas was conceived out of this realization!
