Dr P Bhanumathi

Founder of AMHA

As a sister of three brothers with Autism, Dr P Bhanumathi was inspired right from her childhood to work for the welfare of the intellectu-ally impaired community. Later, realis-ing that a good number of parents were unaware of the necessity of training their wards, Bhanumathi set up an institution that would cater to the needs of the mentally challenged. Today, her brainchild, AHMA (As-sociation for Mentally Handicapped Adults), has turned into a refuge for 60 mentally challenged persons. Bhanumathi is the recipient of more than 45 national and international awards, including the Sthree Shakthi Puraskar.
