THE FOUNDERS WHO STARTED FSMHP-UDAAN IN 1992
FSMHP-UDAAN started 20 years ago from the drawing
room of its founder trustees, and by sheer determination and dedication,
has achieved National and International level recognition for its work
with Cerebral Palsy and autism children: the most difficult group to
manage.
Mrs. Shubhra Mukherjee, is the very heart and soul of UDAAN. It is because of her unusual love for children, irrespective of their looks, caste, creed, religion, background and economic status, that this center came into being and dedicated her life to their happiness.
We could not have sustained this effort had it not been for the whole hearted help and co-operation extended by their two daughters, Dhriti (on the left) and Aparajita (holding on to our doggie, Ina: a favourite playmate of many of our kids.). Indeed, I can say that FSMHP is a Mukherjee family mission, started not out of any religious or pious feeling but just because it was great fun, which it still continues to be.
UDAAN is the main activity centre of a non-profit trust: Foundation for Spastic and Mentally Handicapped Persons (FSMHP) ®. It was registered as Trust in April 1994, and with the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. of India in March 2000.
UDAAN is a Hindi language word that means Flight. It symbolizes the flight of the freedom from the confines of disabilities: a trait that we try to inculcate in the heart of these children.
