Honourary Secretary of SOREM .Former national level athlete, mathematics teacher, area director of the Northwest Zone Special Olympics Society, and chairperson for the National Games 2002, Promila Chandra Mohan aged 55 at the time made a decision that completely changed her life and many others. Attributing her mission to an act of divine intervention, Promila Mohan founded the Society for Rehabilitation of the Mentally Challenged. There she made it her duty to ease the burden of these children and help heal them. “It was a calling,” reflects the now 83 year-old founder.Mohan’s insights into this field grew from a course she took at an institute for the mentally challenged in Hyderabad. Meticulous to a fault, she was determined to build an institue that would tailor to every nuance of learning for children with special needs.
My Motherhad great expectations before
I was born, but I shattered her hopes
Because I was not like you
She was much stronger – she taught me to
crawl, taught me to walk and taught me to talk
Because I had to be part of you.
She taught me with love, taught me with
patience, taught me during the day and
taught me as I lay
Because I had to be a part of you.
I do many wrongs, I don’t know the ways – but
teach me again and tolerate my ways,
Because I’ve to be a part of you.
My mother has labored for years
I’ve made endless efforts but
I’ve not learnt your ways
Can I still be a part of you?
