‘Parents of children with special needs create their world of happiness and believe in things that others cannot yet see.’ It is with this belief that four mothers of children with special needs joined to establish Gurukulam in March 2019. The ‘Integrated Centre for Children with Special Needs’ is training students for open schooling, vocational and life skills, through extracurricular activities. The center prepares young adults for gainful employment in a way that capitalizes on their skills and interests.
Gurukulam recently hosted the 1st edition of Akshayyam, a musical fundraiser at Chennai. The chief guest for the event was Singer Chinmayi and many other celebrities joined the night. The lineup included popular playback singers Vijay Yesudas, Ranjith Govind, Rahul Nambiar, Aalaap Raju, Jithin Raj, Keshav Vinod and more, volunteered their time and talent for the evening.
