Om Creations Trust, a bud sowed in 1995 has blossomed into a flagrant flower. In 1991, S.P.J. Sadhana School came up with the idea of training mentally challenged children. The first batch of students graduated in 1995. Dr Radhike Khanna, the vice-principal of the school, along with three other founder trustees had the mind-blowing vision to channelize these graduated studentsâ potential to further their individuality. The objective was to empower in them a spirit that they can lead a normal life and be self-reliant.
Today, after 10 years, Om Creations Trust is confident that these fine adults can create indigenous works of art and craft. With a little boost from proficient care-workers, the students have developed a passion to work imaginatively. And this, only Om can do.
Arts Section From simple materials like paper, cloth and jute, the ladies create exclusive items like elegant gift bags, colorful silk scarves, jewellery, danglers and numerous other innovative items. Most of the products are exhibited on the Centreâs open-day, exhibitions in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi etc. Some buy in bulk and take it abroad. The items are well appreciated internationally and it is our dream to gain a niche in the foreign export market.
