Dagger Parivaar School – Where Every Child Matters

Dagger Parivaar School, established in October 2021 by the Indian Army’s Dagger Division in collaboration with the Indrani Balan Foundation, is the first institution of its kind in North Kashmir dedicated entirely to the education, therapy, and holistic development of differently abled children. With 93 students currently enrolled, each child receives specialized care, education, and support in a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment. Our mission is rooted in dignity, hope, and empowerment for children who are often overlooked by traditional education systems.

Every day at Dagger Parivaar School is a journey of hope and joy, surrounded by inspiring children and a passionate, dedicated team.
