Mahabodhi School and Hostel for the Visually-impaired Children is dedicated to the visually disabled children of the Himalayan region. In order to encourage socially inclusive education in the school, the visually impaired students go to the main school and enroll in a different class according to their abilities so as not to feel discriminated against from the rest of the students and are able to adapt to society.
