About Navjeevan Andh Apang Kalyan Mandal

Navjeevan Andh Apang Kalyan Mandal established its Blind Handicapped Training Centre and Hostel in 1992 at Ambegaon Budruk, Pune. In 1996-97, it received a government grant, but due to space constraints, additional flats were leased in Yevalewadi, Kondhwa, increasing student capacity from 30 to 75. While the institution initially received a three-year grant, it has since operated without government funding, relying on self-financing and donations to cover student expenses.
