Residential Workshop Navkshitij established the first permanent residential unit in Marunji, in June 2007, where mentally challenged adults can live with their peers for their lifetime. Navkshitij has set up another residential facility at Asawali. Currently, there are 52 Friends residing at Marunji and nine at the the Asawali unit. Autism Centre "Navkshitij launched the Autism Centre 2015, to create a program for adults on the Autism Spectrum. Navkshitij utilizes standardized educational practices to improve the outcome for adults on the autism spectrum. The core philosophy of Autism Center lies in the belief that individuals of varying abilities can be taught functional skills to lead independent, productive, and rewarding lives as adults. Wealso conduct activities for spiritual development such as prayer, yoga and meditation. These activities complement the lessons on self-hygiene by our special educators. "

PRODUCTS ● ACTIVITIES ● Having realised that the community living with regulated days is the only practical solution to rehabilitation of mentally challenged friends and also that it is extremely difficult for parents to keep adult mentally challenged friends occupied throughout the day, we started our first repilicable residential unit in 2007. We currently have two such units at Marunji (Pune) and Shirwal, where 61 special friends are residing. Workshop
