History:

Open to children in age-group 2½–5 years, the NAB Mata Lachmi Nursery for the Blind was launched on August 15, 1969, in the spacious premises of Mata Lachmi Trust building at Sion, Mumbai. This Nursery was a pioneering attempt of NAB (India) towards early intervention for blind children. Besides space, the donor – Her Holiness Mata Lachmi – had also offered NAB Rs.10,000 for equipment and other devices.
