ABOUT US
Unmesh is an organization that seeks to bridge the learning gap for neuro- developmentally-challenged children and their caregivers. It aims to promote skill-building for children and providing the tools for their eventual assimilation into society to lead a happy and productive life. Unmesh is committed to bringing out the best in every child through ‘Nurturing Care’, leaving none behind.
The word “Unmesh” is derived from Bengali and means awakening, blooming or, budding.
MISSION
UNMESH aims to provide nurturing care to all children and facilitate early detection and early intervention facilities at all levels for those at risk, through comprehensive health care & special education services. We aim to provide a platform where parents and care givers learn to interact effectively with the needs of the individual child. The long-term goal is to overcome barriers and integrate every child with society for them to lead a happy productive life.
Vision
We envision a world where every child reaches their developmental potential, with adequate and informed support from caregivers and society at large. We would like to provide the tools and a platform for children with special needs to grow up with confidence and live an independent purposeful life. We seek to empower and teach them the techniques necessary for them to bloom to their fullest. Our vision also seeks to provide the techniques necessary for a child’s immediate care givers to cope with her/his needs beyond the confines of the school.

ECD: WHAT, WHY & HOW
Promoting Early Childhood Development and
Nurturing Care has always been our prime objective. To this effect we have come
out with this short animation film in Bangla to raise awareness among parents,
caregivers and frontline healthcare providers. >> Video Link
WHATS NEW
UNMESH now opens doors to ALL little children, not just those with special needs, for what they like best, PLAY! Yes, our new wing, Smarajit Memorial Activity and Resource Centre (SMARC) is a richly stimulating after school play centre for children 3-10 years. Today’s children are burdened with classwork, homework, tuitions, classes in music, dance, art, karate, chess…what not. We are constantly busy ‘teaching’ but fail to give them time to learn on their own and most importantly enjoy their childhood! That is exactly what UNMESH plans to offer at SMARC: an opportunity to learn to enjoy and enjoy to learn.
