Physical training for children with cerebral palsy, autism, and Down Syndrome launched in Kozhikode
As the mother of a five-year-old, Rahmath Nazeer was fed up with the standard answer from even experienced doctors when asked about her daughter’s condition.
They said the child with Down Syndrome and heart ailments may not survive for long. But the mother in Rahmath believed that proper therapy and attention could help her child lead a normal life. Thus she joined hands with others with similar experience, and Angels Group was formed.
Having launched a physical training programme for children with conditions like cerebral palsy, autism, and Down Syndrome in Kozhikode on Friday, Rahmath feels her dream is not so far-fetched after all.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
