JEEVAN JYOTI SCHOOL FOR SPECIAL CHILDREN
A unit of Jeevan Jyoti Sansthan

“JEEVAN JYOTI” A School for the special children was inaugurated on 14th September, 1989 in the Coal Capital of India. Since There were hardly any schools for Children with different abilities in the vicinity there was a need for such a school. Such Children needed special care and attention. Keeping this in mind some dedicated ladies and social worker group of Inner Wheel Club of Dhanbad launched this much needed project in the year 1989. It was a very small beginning with 6 children enrolling on the first day.

The tiny bud which was sown with love & care has now blossomed into an institution of 125 special Children in 2020. In 31 years the school is established firmly inside a building overlooking the beautiful Bekarbandh Lake of Dhanbad. The School Building is built on a leased land from the Local Administration.

The school was taken over by Rotary club of Dhanbad in the year 2002 when it moved to its current premise. The School is professionally run by a team of specialist teachers and is supported by a committee constituted by the club. A team of doctors, therapists and other professionals also render their services on regular and honorary basis.
