Mental retardation is a condition of incomplete development of mind. it is less understood or misunderstood while the other disabilities are identified at a glance. The population with mental retardation is more than 3% of the world population. The task to bring up such kids is very difficult but can be made easier if responsibilities of the parents are shared by others. They can be substantially improved by early identification, evaluation and training. It requires a lot of patience, dedication and special technique used by the trained staff.

Voluntary and social organizations can play a pivot role in alleviating the suffering of distressed society. Man kind is above all the religions. There was no such place/school in Hoshiarpur for training of mentally challenged children. Keeping this in view a few philanthropists of Hoshiarpur formed a body under the name of ‘AshaDeep Welfare Society’ under the President ship of Sh. Teg Pal Singh in 1995.
