Agricultural-Horticultural Rehabilitation and Training Centre

Kuttichal,Trivandrum

CIMR established an Agricultural-Horticultural farm at Kuttichal, 30 Kms away from the city of Thiruvananthapuram in June 1996 on a 10 acres plot which serves as the Vocational Training centre for the intellectually challenged students of DCMR and Asha Kendram. Activities in this farm are structured to develop employment living skills and make them self-structured through the total development. Selected groups of students are taken to the farm for agricultural training. They are given opportunities to attend all farm operations like horticulture, poultry farming, fish farming, cattle rearing, medicinal Plants, Plant nursery etc. groups of children from any institution can avail the facility of this centre.

Besides training in agriculture, this farm is destined to be a rehabilitation centre for the intellectually challenged persons. Three types of stay facility is proposed here- long term stay, short term stay and respite care. Details of this is being worked out and hope this centre will function as a solace to the parents and a hope for the children.
