Ananda Niketan
A village project to live peaceful life for parents of persons with Autism. To solve the biggest worry of “What After Us?”
Background
Most persons with autism require lifelong support in significant aspects of their daily
life such as self-care, financial or in their vocation and employment. With extended
family systems in India fast disappearing, society provides no viable alternative support
mechanisms for persons with autism when they lose their caregivers and are on their
own. Specialist residential centres, that can provide this support when parents are no
longer there or are unwell, are barely existent. The worry of “What after us?” haunts
most parents.
Here lies the need of separate and safe Residential facilities. Many studies emphasized
on the importance of the learning environment for autistic children, but none have
focused on the idea of inclusive and universal design in houses which also plays a vital
role in their happy and safe living.
Hence BHABNA has conceived the project ANANDA NIKETAN, an exclusive project for
community living which will be gated community starting with 15 independent
bungalows (may expand in future) for families living with Autism and a concept of
lifelong care for your child and towards this purpose has acquired ~10 acres of land
beside Raghunathpur-Malandighi road in Kanksa block, Paschim Bardhaman District.
Purpose
Purpose of creating community where children and adults with autism will live a life of
safety security and dignity in their own bungalow with their parents and will continue
to live in the ANANDA ASHRAM after the parent/s are deceased and BHABNA will resell
the property to another family with living with a child/adult with Autism and use the
sell proceeds to take care of the living expenses of the child/adult along with others
fund/s arranged by the deceased parents.
The BHABNA shall create and provide the necessary infrastructure and environment
