Gyan Jyoti Special School - Our Story

Our Story & Purpose

Gyan Jyoti Seva Samiti was founded with a heartfelt mission: to create a nurturing and empowering educational environment for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Operating as the Gyan Jyoti Special School in Jaipur, Rajasthan, we firmly believe that every child possesses unique strengths and the inherent potential to lead a fulfilling life. Our core purpose, guided by 'Gyan Jyoti' (Light of Knowledge) and 'Seva' (Service), is to unlock this potential through personalized learning, compassionate care, and a steadfast commitment to celebrating every achievement, no matter how small.

We strive to be more than just a school; we aim to be a truly supportive community for our students and their families. Our dedication fosters holistic growth, promotes independence, and brings immense joy to the learning journey of every child.

Our Guiding Force: The Executive Committee

Driven by a profound commitment to 'Seva' (service) and the belief in the illuminating power of 'Gyan Jyoti' (knowledge), our dedicated Executive Committee established this Samiti. Their collective vision addresses the critical need for specialized, empathetic schooling for children with special needs. They lead us in creating a sanctuary of learning where differences are celebrated, and every child is nurtured to their fullest potential.

  • Speech Therapy: Enhancing communication skills and addressing speech disorders.
  • Physiotherapy: Improving gross motor skills, balance, and physical rehabilitation.
  • Occupational Therapy: Developing fine motor skills, sensory integration, and daily living activities for greater independence.
  • Home-Based Programs: Extending support and education to deprived children in their home environment.
  • Early Intervention Programs: Critical support for younger children to mitigate developmental delays.
  • Vocational Training: Equipping older students with practical skills for future self-reliance and financial independence.
