Nirmaan was founded by Ms. Sangeeta Bhandari in 2002, although the journey began in 1992 when her son Nikhilesh then 2 years was diagnosed as being Autistic.
During the next several years as a part of treatment and evaluation for Nikhilesh, she visited many hospitals, centers, therapists and also attended many courses in India as well as abroad-Peto Institute, Budapest, Kennedy Krieger Center Baltimore, John Hopkins Baltimore, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Valley Therapy Phoenix, Sound and listening Center, Phoenix, The Option Institute, Sheffield.

However always returning to Indore she realized that no such center was available for children with Autism.
A beginning was made with the guidance and encouragement of Dr. J. S. Khatpal, Ms. Darice Putterman, Dr Sudhir Kothari, and today it is a leading center for Special Children in Indore.
