Inaugurating the progressive pathway at the Universal Magic Center, R. Bindu, Minister of Higher Education, Kerala, said that the Different Arts Center (DAC) would open up a magical world for differently-abled children by offering them an environment conducive for their intellectual progress and social and emotional well-being. DAC is envisioned as a platform to engage specially-abled children by showcasing their talents in music, dance, painting and skills in various musical instruments.
