BHAVANA CHANDAK (FALOR) MAHANAB SCHOOL FOR BLIND GIRLS

Since there was no separate school for blind girls in the Nashik area, the NAB Unit Maharashtra decided to start a residential school for them in 1990. Government permission was granted for three years on a non-grantable basis. Since the school did not have its own premises, it kept moving from place to place until finally a plot in the MIDC area was acquired for its own residential building. Initially, the Government had issued a license to admit only 40 girls. It was subsequently extended to 65 girls in the 1st to 4th standards. From the 5th standard onwards, the girls are sent to higher classes in the nearby integrated schools. NAB, Unit Maharashtra provides them free hostel accommodation in a clean environment with nutritious food, regular medical checkups, and uniform. In addition to their academic excellence, our visually impaired girls have been awarded the first prize in interstate dance competitions held at Kolkata and Madurai. 

Three years in succession, the school has secured top awards and ranked first in state-level drama competitions. Further, the girls have excelled in rope mulkhamb too and have won the first prize in state-level rope mulkhamb competition.
