Introduction
Arpana School for Special Education is a non-profit, non-governmental institution established in 1981 by the Central Diocese of Karnataka. The school focuses on children with intellectual disabilities. We equip our children with ample practical skills so that they can be reintegrated into society and lead a life of integrity and a contributing member of the family and community.
We know that our endeavors will bear fruit by making effective use of the tools and opportunities available to our society. We are working for this by enlisting the support of churches, institutions, private firms/ companies, welfare organizations, individual families, and other social aid organizations.
