Taarana means ‘Awakening’ in Sanskrit and was established
by Vijayaratnam Foundation as a centre for children with
special education needs. We reach out to children from three

and have delayed development academically, socially and
adaptively.
By regularly getting involved and engaging with these
children, we hope to help them make a smooth transition
into society and be able to live normal lives.
Our Aim
We want to ensure that we tap into the potential of our
students and help them discover their own strengths so that
they are fully equipped to face the future with conviction.
We are also committed to developing our students’
competence and confidence with the help of a specially
designed curriculum and trained teachers.
Our Values
Respect, Reasoning, Resilience, Responsibility,
Resourcefulness, Reciprocity and Reflectiveness.
