Lucknow: The 10-year-old Mowgli girl, now named Ehsaas, has started showing signs of improvement in the Nirvan Rehabilitation Centre where she was brought on Saturday.
“We try to keep her among the children of her age group so that she learns from them. As it is believed that she lived with monkeys, so we keep her among children of her age so that she learns to do things by copying them,” said S.S. Dhopal, an official at the Nirvan Rehabilitation Centre .
He said that once the girl improves further, an IQ test would be conducted on her. She will also be provided psychiatric treatment.
A teacher, Saroj, at the rehabilitation centre said that when she was brought here, she used to throw the food plate on the floor and then eat the remnants lying on the floor but she has now started eating her food from plate only.
She has also started drinking water from glass, which she initially used to throw away. The teacher further said that the girl is scared of the crowd and likes to live alone.
Also, she speaks in her own language which the people here are unable to understand. The girl was found amongst animals of the forest and was unfamiliar with human language. Later, the police admitted the girl to a city hospital for treatment.
Medical specialists, while describing the girl, said that she ate and walked like animals, ran away on seeing humans which indicated that she had lived with animals.
