the Rajasthan Society Act, 1958 was founded on the request of Shri
Ganeshilal Raniwala & Shri Mahendra Kumar Raniwala in the year
1975 with seven disabled students & one teacher in a rented
building.
Idea emerged in the mind of Shri Mahendra Kumar Raniwala, elder
son of Shri Ganeshilal Raniwala, and in 1975 both have decided to
start a school for deaf & blind children. They consulted with Late
Shri C. R. Das, a close friend of Shri Ganeshilal Raniwala, with a
deep thought taken with five other members, namely: Late Shri
Sitasharan Devliya, Sardar Daljeet Singh Sethi, Shri Kundan Lal
Madan, Shri Nemi Chand Shah and Shri Trilokchand Kothari. Since
then Shri Mahendra Kumar Raniwala is continuously working with his
father for the development of the school.
It was their
sincerity & dedication that motivated to work hard, to mobilize
public opinions, raise resources, and undertake projects for the
growth of this establishment. Since 1975 when they started
managing the affairs of this society, both have contributed very
significantly in various departments towards the growth of this
organization. Due to their initiative, sincerity and involvement,
today the society has its own building and infrastructure
maintaining a big family of more than 147 human beings.
