The initiative reflects a strong commitment to inclusive and empathetic care, underlined by the motto that every child carries a unique spark.

In addition, there will be dedicated services for parents and caregivers, including counselling, skill training, group workshops, and psychoeducation to foster a supportive environment at home.
All services at UMANG are provided with professional expertise, compassion, and care. The facility is located at 3/5, 3/6, Divyang Park, Balewadi High Street, Balewadi, Pune – 411045.
