It can benefit them in their future,” says Jayshree Chaudhary, principal of Spandan.
Stationary material and other accessories such as files, and purses are made by these children too. Government organisations support them by placing large orders regularly.
“We are currently concentrating on designer products, as there is a great demand in the market. The children can also earn good amount of money from it. They also will not have to be dependent on anyone for their livelihood,” said Chaudhary.
The starting price range of the products is between Rs200 to Rs800 for the designer sets. The fashion earrings are also in great demand. While the designer Batvas are also specially prepared by these children. “We are also going to offer the dulhan sets prepared by the special children on rental basis also.
