Project Overview
Recognizing the growing need for dedicated infrastructure for special children in and around Mysuru, Rotary Mysore Midtown conceptualized Manasa Kuteera as a purpose-built institution that offers education, therapy, care, and rehabilitation under one roof.
The project was developed on a one-acre civic amenity site allotted by the Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA) and culminated in the construction of a modern 7,875 sq. ft. facility dedicated to serving children with special needs. The institution was officially inaugurated on April 1, 2024, marking a significant milestone in Rotary’s long-standing commitment to inclusive community service.
Objective
