Iniya Udayam – a joyful home for the Mentally Retarded Girls. The Liliane School for the Mentally Retarded started to develop different skills to promote their development. According to the norms of the Government the children should be kept in the school up to the age of 14. When they reach 14 years they still further need to develop more skills. Therefore a recognized home that we were running for the children in the past few years is been promoted to be a government aided home from 01.09.2013 onwards.
