MITHRA
MITHRA was started in 1977 by Sr. Mary Theodore OAM an Australian nun. She came to India in 1951. During her service in various institutions of her congregation she was driven by divine inspiration to do something worthwhile for the most neglected section of the society --- Physically and Mentally challenged poor children----.. She decided to respond to the call and founded Mithra. She built up the institution braving heavy odds and reached out to all the less privileged in the society without any distinction of caste, creed, religion, gender or economic status. She was one among the pioneers in Chennai to give a multi disciplinary care and rehabilitation to children with different kinds of disabilities. She was the first area director for special Olympics in India. She was also the first President of the State Level Federation of Organisations for persons with disabilities. In this capacity she organised the first State Level Conference in which the State Government sanctioned for the first time the monthly financial assistance Scheme for all the differently abled.
