Starting with an integrated group of 30 children  under a tree, the school now has over 500 children in Delhi and 300 in its branch at Gwalior.

The activities at the school include: 

 

• Curriculum as per CBSE and NIOS

• Skill development (arts and craft, cutting and tailoring,  beauty culture, pottery, artificial jewellery making, computers etc)
• Preparatory classes for inclusion of developmentally delayed children, hearing and visually impaired as well as those with multiple disability
