It is very unfortunate to note that Children with disabilities are considered to be burdensome by their family members. There are many factors responsible for this situation. In our observation, we were able track that the practical, psychological, and physical support of the families for the disabled child is minimum or nil.

Considering the various needs of the large number of disabled TMSSS has decided to meet the challenges of assisting this group of needy disabled through a well structured IBR (Institutional Based Rehabilitation) Plan.

Hence Infant Jesus Day Care Centre for MR Children was started during the year 1997 and it is still being continued by TMSSS with the financial support of Stitching Liliane Fonds – The Netherlands. During this year 2015-16 15 MR children were cared for
