Pre-Vocational training Centre
Incepted in the year 1988, this centre aims to impart vocational training to the intellectually differently abled adolescents in various simple trades thereby enabling them to learn certain types of work and avail employment opportunities. Thus integrating them to main stream their life with the normal society and earn their livelihood.

Presently, 53 students are trained by 11 staff members. Training is offered to the students in trades such as envelope making, carpentry, metal work, injection moulding, leather craft, tailoring, horticulture, screen printing and cotton wool packing sections respectively.
