The idea of Jan Madhyam was born on the lawns of JamiaMiliaIslamia University, New Delhi. The year was 1982. Jolly Rohatagi, artist and RanjanaPandey, puppeteer, were collaborating on a multi-media programme for pre-schoolers. Puppets, games, music, dance and crafts were woven together to fire a child's creative imagination. The theme was 'Learning is Fun'.The variety of tasks and stimuli highlighted each child's needs and capacities, highlighting areas where the child performed well or poorly. It was but a natural progression to think of applying the same technique to children with special needs. Using media was one way of drawing out children who appeared dull and unresponsive, more - it emerged - because of isolation and poor communication skills, than because of their disability.It was the first of many programmes developed in response to a felt need. Over the next few years, Jolly and Ranjana, now joined by Gayatri, a dancer, developed a series of programmes for children with special needs.
