The Government granted 1.65 acres of land and buildings were completed in 2001 using contributions from local donors. The Day Center became operational in 2000. The Center caters to the education, therapy and vocational training of physically and mentally handicapped disabled children and adults from the underprivileged in the district.
CHIC has three centers of activity.
1.Day Center: The center was started in 2000 with 6 children. Now, there are 25 children and adults, on the average, availing the facility. The children are evaluated and are taught Activities of Daily Living Skills (ADLS) and functional academics. Therapists from JSS College, Mysore and trained CBR workers provide speech, Physio- and Occupational therapy. 2 vans have been provided free of charge for the PWD’s to be picked up and dropped off.
2.Sahaya Vocational Center. Here, children over 10 and adult PWD’s are trained in various activities. The aim is to empower them and integrate them into the mainstream of society. Products made include spun-bonded fabric and paper bags, greeting cards, letter paper, gift covers, phenyl and other products manufactured against orders. The Self Help Group in the center has been trained to manage the production and distribute the products. A Business Plan to establish a Book Binding Operation has been readied.
3.Sukh Shanthi Community Based Rehabilitation Program (CBR): This is an outreach program made available to all the PWD’s in the District. This program helps the needy PWD’s to access all the Government schemes in getting what is promised and due to them, such as special aids, allowances, health care etc.
CHIC has achieved many of its goals and objectives. But needs the active support of donor organizations to achieve and sustain all of them, now and into the future.
