Initially, no one gave it much of a chance and it was given permission for only 11 months. Shrikant Aglawe was project co-ordinator and has made the school a model one. Today it has 42 children on track to become educated citizens. If they were not brought here, most would have entered the world of crime and led a life of difficulty and danger.

This residential school is located at Nagpur near Geetanjali Cinema Hall. Now these children stay here, play and learn. Values are also inculcated among them besides studies. The school grooms their lives by showing them the path of good conduct. Railway Police and Vishwa Hindu Jankalyan Parishad have rescued them from entering into the world of crime by roaming around the railway station.
