Neeta Chaudhari, President of the Air Force Family Welfare Association, visited Base Repair Depot, Air Force Palam to inaugurate the centre.

Umeed Niketan has been conceived and conceptualized to create a nurturing environment where children with special needs can think, grow, and learn to develop life skills through recreational activities tailored to their unique abilities, according to a statement from the Defence Ministry.

From sensory exploration and speech therapy to adaptive sports and interactive immersive experiences, the centre offers a diverse range of programmes designed to promote the physical, emotional, and social well-being of special children, the statement added.
