This is a special residential school for differently abled girls, Society as such is not very kind to the girl child and having a disability makes them almost unwanted in their homes. Therefore it is going to be the effort of this project to rehabilitate them properly once they are ready to leave the school. The project also plans to be in touch with various other institutions who have similar students, so that we can have a regular interaction of our students and they come to know each other. There is always a possibility of finding a match for them. Our vision or mission may not be stating it but our long terms plans are definitely to aim for them to have a family. That is why it is planned in the school curriculum that the students with visual impairment also get training in cooking. There is no doubt in our mind that we cannot overstretch ourselves to accommodate more students than we can manage and it will be foolish to expect that funds will always flow in, but again it has to be understood that a project for differently abled and specifically girls is a long term proposition.
Asha has funded the construction of a kitchen and four bathrooms for the residents of the school, to the amount of $2500 for the year 2007.

The vision of the project is to enroll differentially abled girls from all over the State and to make them productive members of the Society. The mission is to develop a model school for differentially abled girls which will have both regular education and vocational training.
The initial objectives of Vijaya were to create awareness among women and children on legal and constitutional rights, to make them free from social and economic exploitation, to give protection against injustice, atrocities, and trafficking elimination of discrimination against girl child (gender equity) and to create and strengthen self- reliance and self- confidence. The organisation aims to create scope for participation in developmental activities without any discrimination of cast, creed or religion. It is committed to give institutional support to destitute, old and helpless people and rehabilitate them in the society.
