A commendable achievement by Baba Amte at Anandvan is the establishment of special schools for deaf, dumb, and blind children. These kids are indeed special. They have learnt to accept their disabilities, but do not let that fact hinder their creativity and capability. They are happy and content in their little world at Anandvan. They do not get to see many outsiders and so an outsider visit such as ours is greeted with big smiles and a warm heart. It’s really a touching scene.
Here is one creative guy. His real talent at sketching is featured below. He had a book full of sketches - KR Narayanan, Swami Vivekananda, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Lokamanya Tilak, Subash Chandra Bose, Gauthama Buddha et al. Fascinating!
A sketch of India’s President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. If only Dr. Kalam could have a look…
And not to be left behind, our shirtless hero Salman Khan.
They taught us the basics of Braille and made it sound so simple! English and Mathematics - these kids quickly do it in Braille.
And to think we complain about our textbooks.
Saying Adios.

Namaskar, Iam Avinash Borase at present residing at Nasik.I came to know about Dr Baba Amte 6 to 7 years ago. Since that moment I am very inspired by the work of Baba Amte. In my life I have a dream to work in Anandvan forever. But before that I have to visit the Ananvan.I have an address of Anandvan but don’t know the proper way to travel from Nasik. Can you give me the details of the train & proper route by railway from Nasik to Anandvan.( As per my knowelge Varora is the nearest railway station,is it correct.)Please reply.
Thanks.
Dr.Cajetan Coelho 07.02.08 at 2:50 pm
Hi Avinash,
Warora Railway Station to Anandwan is walking distance. You can also take an autorickshaw or join others in a shared autorick. If you go by the Maha Mandal Bus you get down at the Anandwan Chowk. Cross the chowk and you will see Anand Niketan Colleges of Arts, Science and Commerce. Go a bit further and you enter the main gate of Anandwan. A little further on the Chimur Road you also see the complexes of the Anand Niketan Krishi Mahavidylaya. Have a nice time and when you visit the school convey my regards to my friends Sudhakar Kadu Guruji and Kavishwar Kaka.
