(Rehabilitation Opportunities Services & Health for the Neurologically Impaired)
ROSHNIis a project of the Ramakrishna Ashrama Gwalior. Since its inception, ROSHNI has made every effort to reach out to the local community and the surrounding districts at every possible level and has been providing a wide range of services for all age groups of mentally retarded and physically handicapped children. As per research records, in India itself, there are more than 2.5 crore children affected by either mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, paralysis or many other neurological and physical disorders. The parents or the guardians of such unfortunate children are many times helpless due to various reasons to take proper care of their wards. The major handicap is the financial instability. To support such suffering parents, ROSHNI gives treatment and tries to eliminate or minimize their trouble and anxiety. Now ROSHNI is planning to start a residential relief centre for parents for a period of 10 to 15 days. To manage this activity ROSHNI is also planning to introduce a training course for “CARE GIVERS”. Young boys and girls will be given this training to take care of Autistic patients and thus remove the sufferings of the parents or the guardians. And thus CARE GIVERs will also earn their livelihood by rendering this service much needed in the society
