The school educates children up to the 7th standard and teaches trade skills so that they can qualify for employment.

The Kanubhai Vora School for the Blind was founded in 1978 to provide a haven for blind orphans and children of Akola. The school offers free food, shelter, clothing, and education, working with children up to the 7th standard.
