Established on 3rd July 1994 in Gurgaon, Deepashram feeds, shelters, and cares for approximately 70 mentally and/or physically handicapped boys and men ranging in age from 10-30 years old. The organization is run by the Society of the Missionaries of Charity Brothers of Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

The center works to rehabilitate and reintegrate into society children with mild mental retardation through education and training. However, many of the boys lack the percentage of mobility that allows autonomy; they require constant care from Deepashram staff and volunteers.

Deepashram depends on contributions from collaborators and benefactors to fund daily upkeep of the center and medical needs of the boys, which include check-ups, neurological screenings, psychological assessments, and physiotherapist evaluations.
