THE SUNSHINE SCHOOL -FOR DIFFERENTLY ABLED CHILDREN (SINCE 2010)

Mrs Paramita Mazumdar who has been the principal of this school since its inception, has a son with autism (presently 20 year old) and this was one of the driving factors, for her to take this initiative of being part of starting the Sunshine School. The school was started so that differently abled children, who are unable to fit in mainstream schools can be provided with appropriate curricular and extra-curricular training. It was started on a small scale initially with just 6 students including Mrs.Paramita Mazumdar’s son, and today it has bloomed and grown to cater to 80 plus students ranging from age 3 years to 17 years.

SUNSHINE SHELTERED WORKSOP – FOR DIFFERENTLY ABLED ADULTS ( SINCE 2018)

This initiative was started, so that differently abled adults can be trained in community living skills, vocational /work skills and leisure skills so that they can be better socially integrated, can live more independently in society as well as gain appropriate employment in future, thus reaching their maximal social and economic potential as adults. At present the sunshine sheltered workshop caters to 13 trainees who graduated from the sunshine school itself and 5 new trainees thus a total of 18 trainees ranging from age 18 years to 30 years.
