DONATION REQUEST
As present we are having 247 children with us and many more blind children are in need of proper care & education. But we are unable to admit them because of shortage of school & hostel accommodation, additional play ground, additional teachers & helpers, study material & furniture etc. Financial help which we get from the state govt. is not sufficient to meet the expenditure of this institute. The respected donors are the only hope for us. So in this respect we request you to contribute generously with pleasant feeling & happy heart.
