As you enter the gate of Bal Kalyan Sanstha, you are in a new world. A world where creativity speaks. Where thoughts don’t have any restriction. They travel through any medium they want. Where one will witness how handicapped have bitten up the norms of society which state that to be a successful person, you need to be normal. Here you’ll see how handicapped person is more creative than a normal man.
As I entered the premises, the area was quite, calm, and green. I thought that I came to a different place. While I headed toward the office, I saw few works of art which was as good as anything. The head of place, Mrs. Minita Patil, who’s working here since 30 years when it started, says, “We’ve students coming from 80 different schools from Pune district.” They provide them vocational training which include Jewellery making, cell repairing, painting, music, dance, swimming and many such thing which will help them to compete with the outer world. They train them in such a way that anyone can’t say they are handicapped. On being asked how they manage these students, she says, “Every day six school children come that is around 250 children. So it makes us easy to work.” They have a well trained group of faculty and staff who contribute to the smooth running of the Sanstha. The students participate in National and International competitions. The students have won many prizes in there competitions.
Running such a big institute isn’t easy. This institute get funds from Government and they do accept personal donations. They carry on functions whole year but the main event is on 3rd December which is being celebrated as World Disable Day. With a smile on her face, she adds, “We give all they want to stand in this world to stand on their feet.” These children have lost something physically but God has gifted them creativity which we normal human loose. So in this great world of God, everyone is important and special.
