About The Trust :-

on July 16 1956, the Muncherjee Nowrojee Banajee Industrial Home for the Blind (MNB) is a monument to the munificence of late Serenbai Banajee who gave this bungalow for use and occupation in memory of her father to start a residential industrial and vocational training centre for visually-challenged men. Thus the Muncherjee Nowrojee Banajee Industrial Home for the Blind was registered under the Bombay Public Trust Act 1950.

Tucked away amidst verdant surroundings it is housed in the bungalow aptly named "Chateau Dieu" (Castle of God) and two acres of land housing three buildings at S. V. Road, Jogeshwari (W) Mumbai. This complex is truly a home away from home for visually challenged men between the age of 18 to 45 years.

The MNB Home caters to the physical, mental and moral upliftment of its inmates. The institution's aim has always been to provide multifarious services for visually-challenged individuals and to enable and encourage them to be self-reliant.
