The C.S.I. Kanyakumari Diocese started the C.S.I. School for the Blind at Irenepuram in the year 1970. Many visually Challenged students from various places joined this institution and got their lives up lifted for their future. By the richest blessings of God-Almighty those students who left this institution successfully are placed in good positions and are self employed or in employment. Thus this project is a shelter home for the destitute visually challenged children.
