Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy (IICP)

Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy (IICP), a charitable (voluntary) organisation, registered under the Societies Registration Act, has been offering specialised, comprehensive services for children and adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP) since 1974.

It began as the West Bengal Spastics Society (WBSS) and was housed in temporary military barracks in the Ballygunge Military Camp.

In 1985 it moved to its accessible building on land provided on long lease, by the Kolkata Port Trust. Later it was called the Spastics Society of Eastern India (SSEI) reflecting its role as a catalyst for similar services in the region.

In 1999, the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy (IICP) replaced SSEI to symbolise the national impact of the organisation’s activities. IICP serves on an average over 2000 beneficiaries every year.
