50 YEARS OF SPANDAN SCHOOL
OUR CLIENTS
Our History
The Banyan City Jaycees Education Trust saw the need of a centre for the underprivileged children having neurodevelopmental disabilities. There were no schools or formal centres to train or teach individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities in Vadodara city. Thus, Spandan School for Mentally Challenged was incorporated.
In 1985, VMC gave Spandan school a 30,000 sq. ft land under lease of 99 years at a subsidized rate. Since then, the school has been constructed in different phases as per the needs of new departments as well as the availability of funds.
