In a remarkable display of community service and dedication, the Rotary Club of Panaji Riviera has inaugurated a state-of-the-art infrastructure and Early Intervention Centre at Aastha’s Anand Niketan, a school for children with disabilities in Goa.
This ambitious project was made possible through a Global Grant of $99,000 (Rs. 82,00,000) secured by the Rotary Club in partnership with International Rotary Clubs and The Rotary Foundation. Additionally, the club has partnered with Golden Peace Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. to establish an Early Intervention Centre through Rotary India Foundation, valued at $40,000 (Rs. 35,00,000).
The newly inaugurated infrastructure includes personalized, disability-friendly classroom furniture, smart digital boards, wheelchairs, and state-of-the-art A/V equipment. This modern setup will significantly enhance the learning experience for over 200 special children and provide advanced training to special educators and parents.
The Rotary Club’s initiative aims to create a supportive and inclusive environment that empowers children with disabilities to reach their full potential. By providing access to cutting-edge technology and specialized resources, the club is bridging the gap in education and healthcare for these children.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by notable dignitaries, including Rtn. Sharad Pai, District Governor RID 3170, PDG Rtn. Alka Khanolkar, and Mr. Rahul Khetrapal, CSR Partner. The event was a testament to the power of community service and collaboration.
“We are thrilled to have partnered with Aastha’s Anand Niketan to create a world-class infrastructure for children with disabilities,” said President Rtn. Tanvi Attreya Sawant. “Through this grant, we are not only improving infrastructure but also building a brighter future for these children, a future where their potential is recognized, nurtured, and allowed to flourish.”
The Rotary Club of Panaji Riviera’s commitment to empowering children with disabilities is a shining example of the impact that community service can have on lives. As the club continues to work tirelessly towards creating a more inclusive and supportive society, we can only applaud their efforts and look forward to seeing the positive change they bring about.
