Minister Dr. Gavit said, the central and state governments are trying to bring the neglected elements of the disabled community into the mainstream and various schemes are being implemented for the disabled through the government. But still, the rate of taking advantage of these schemes is very low. Parents should go to the hospital and treat the children with disabilities who are not speaking in time so that they can be treated and speak. Camps should be organized at taluka locations to provide benefits of various schemes to the differently abled in the district so that they can benefit from the schemes of the central government and the state government. Organizations and individuals who are doing good work in the field of disability are honored with various awards by the government as an incentive, so such awards should also be taken advantage of. Organizations working in the field of disability will be pursued at the state level to get grants. So that these organizations can provide better facilities. He also said that a separate Disability Welfare Department has been established today to provide benefits of various welfare schemes to disabled citizens. On this occasion, he also appealed to the disabled persons who have not taken the UDID card, to take out the UDID card.
Camp for Disable People
MP Dr. will organize camps to accommodate every disabled person in the district in the government scheme. Through the Social Welfare Department of the Central Government, useful items like prosthetic limbs, hearing rings, bicycles, and electric bicycles are given to citizens with different types of disabilities. In order to provide the benefits of these schemes to every disabled person in the district, camps will be organized to screen the disabled at all primary health centers. According to government rules, electric cars are given to disabled persons with more than 80 percent disability.
