CHENNAI: The Madhuram Narayanan Centre for Exceptional Children at T. Nagar organised a graduation ceremony for 14 students on Thursday.

The students had completed the "Upanayan" Early Intervention Programme at the institution.

Of the two groups of students, one will continue education at special schools while the other group will enrol in mainstream institutions. Parents were left to choose the schools for their children depending on affordability and accessibility factors.

The Centre has also been in touch with schools that the students will be joining to ensure a smooth transition for them. Over 100 children attending the Centre and their parents were present at the graduation ceremony, which also coincided with the celebration of Tamil New Year's Day at the institution. All the young graduates were felicitated at the passing out function.
