UDAAN, the three-day national meet for persons with deaf-blindness and multi-sensory impairment kicked off on Monday. The meet, organised under the ambit of Sense International (India), an NGO which aims at fostering co-operation and understanding among deaf-blind people coming from various corners of the country, saw 35 deaf-blind people from various parts of the country sharing their experience with each other.
Talking about new projects, commissioner for persons with disabilities, Bhasker Mehta who was present at the meet said, “We will be opening three schools for the welfare of the mentally challenged children in the State.”
He pointed out, “Earlier the physically challenged were not able to get loans but now the State has taken an initiative and six corporations will give loans under various categories to the physically challenged.”
Principal Secretary, Department of Social Justice and Empowerment, RM Patel who was also present at the meet said that the State is making an active effort to help the physically challenged to get medical certificates even at the taluka level.
He said, “While earlier medical certificates for disability could be obtained only on a district level, now physically challenged people can also obtain them on a taluka level.”
