Welcome to NISHTHA!
Established in the year 2011, Nishtha Special School in Dilshad Garden . NISHTHA is a school dedicated solely to the education of children with special needs and their families. NISHTHA is open to children of all faiths. We have strived to create an environment that fosters respect for individual differences and celebrates the unique strengths of each child.
Children who attend NISHTHA have a range of disabilities, including mental retardation, cerebral palsy, and autism.
Prior to attending NISHTHA, most were confined in their homes and had few opportunities for intellectual or social development. Even now, countless children throughout India are lacking even the most basic educational services due to barriers such as extreme poverty, social policy, cultural stigma, and the caste system.
NISHTHA is a comprehensive multi-service school that provides educational, therapeutic and recreational services for children with special needs thereby fostering their physical, educational, emotional and social development and thus enabling them to play, learn, live and function in the real world.
