Chairman's Message

Kuldeep Mathur

MSc.

Every child is born with immense possibilities within them. All that is required is an environment, proper guidance, and sensitive support where they can recognize their abilities and live life with confidence. This belief is the foundation of the establishment of LBS Academy Special School.

For the past three decades, the LBS Education Society has been continuously working in the field of education and social service. With this same spirit of service, our special school provides quality education, special training, therapy, vocational skills, sports, cultural activities, and essential life skills for independent living to children with special needs (Divyang).

Our objective is not just to educate children, but to integrate them into the mainstream of society with respect, self-confidence, and self-reliance. We believe that if every specially-abled child receives proper opportunities, love, and support, they can make a significant contribution to the development of their family, society, and nation.

Let us all join hands to create an inclusive society where every specially-abled child can realize their dreams with dignity, equal opportunity, and affection. I express my heartfelt gratitude for your trust, cooperation, and good wishes.

LBS Academy Special School is not just an educational institution, but a family where continuous efforts are made to recognize and develop the abilities of every specially-abled child and help them move forward with confidence. We believe that with the right opportunities, appropriate training, and sensitive support, every child can create their unique identity.

Our endeavor is not to limit children to formal education alone, but to prepare them with life-useful skills, practical education, communication skills, vocational training, and social participation. Through the joint efforts of special educators, therapists, trainers, and a dedicated support team, we work continuously toward the holistic development of every student.

In the coming years, our goal is to further expand special education, therapy services, skill development, employment-oriented training, and inclusive programs so that every student can lead a dignified, self-reliant, and happy life according to their potential. Let us all resolve to build a society where every specially-abled child can achieve their dreams with equal opportunity, respect, and affection.

Disability Inclusion

LBS Initiatives for Disability Empowerment

The Lal Bahadur Shastri Education Committee has been working in the fields of education and social service for the last three decades. The committee runs several important initiatives specifically for the holistic development, rehabilitation, skill development, employment, and social inclusion of people with disabilities. Our goal is not just to provide assistance, but to enable them to lead a self-sufficient, dignified, and self-reliant life.

Special skill development and employment program

Theory of Change

Three Pathways of Change

LBS's Theory of Change operates through three distinct but interconnected pathways — where educational access begets economic empowerment, family stability, and community transformation.

1

Education Access and Equity

Problem: Financial, geographic, and social barriers exclude children from quality education.

Intervention

Fee waivers (SFW–EWS, OSP, FMS), affordable fee structures, rural campus accessibility

Mechanism

Removing cost barriers increases enrolment, retention, and completion rates; gender-targeted scholarships address girls' education gaps

Outcome

Higher educational attainment, improved employability, and upward social mobility across generations

2

Inclusive Development for Children with Special Needs

Problem: Children with disabilities face educational, social, and economic exclusions; families bear disproportionate caregiving burdens.

Intervention

Zero-fee special school with specialized staff, IEPs, multi-modal therapy (speech, OT, PT), and family engagement

Mechanism

Structured therapeutic support rebuilds communication, self-care, mobility, and social participation; parental IEP reviews shift family belief systems

Outcome

Functional independence, social inclusion, and caregiver economic re-entry — with household income gains

3

Community Empowerment and Ecosystem Strengthening

Problem: Tier-2/3 communities lack access to health services, vocational training, economic opportunity, and institutional support.

Intervention

Free physiotherapy, health camps, zero-fee skill training, job fairs, cultural programs, COVID-19 relief, and community infrastructure access

Mechanism

Institutional presence creates a trusted community hub addressing health, livelihood, and social welfare holistically

Outcome

Strengthened community resilience, reduced vulnerability, and increased social capital — with LBS as sustained anchor institution
