Asha-Mich St. partially funds the Creche Unit.
ISDGEI was founded in 1989 by Dr. M. V. Sreedhar with the aim of bring about social change and social transformation of deprived groups through education. Education has been a pivotal role in holistic development of socio-economic development of vulnerable section of the society i.e. SC, ST and NT.

ISDGEI also takes on the economic empowerment of the illiterate women residing in slums (i.e. Rajendra Nagar).
