The void created the longing to do something for the disabled children and their frail, desperate parents did not allow them to remain silent. At that time, special children's education was available only in the district. There was no such education facility in my village “Aurad Shahajani” and its environs. Decided to spend the rest of my life for such disabled children in Village. Without waiting for the moment like Shubhasya Shighram, I took some of my close teacher friends with me and surveyed the entire Aurad shahajani Village by category. In the survey, we were able to see the problems of children, the problems of parents, their sufferings very closely. Disable children and their parents decided to plant a bud of hope in their minds which will surely become a banyan tree in the future.

Gramin Divyangjan Kalyan Shikshan Sanstha was established on September 3, 2021, with the objective of educating and rehabilitating children with disabilities (mentally retarded, deaf, blind, orthopedic) in the mainstream of society.

In the 2001 Indian census, the suburb of Aurad shahajani recorded inhabitants, males (51.4%) and females (48.6%), for a gender ratio of 945 females per 1000 males.[4]
