Asserting the State government’s commitment to ensuring development of the oppressed and underprivileged communities, Minister for Youth Empowerment, Sports and Tribal Welfare B. Nagendra has called upon physically challenged people to become self-reliant by using government welfare schemes meant for them.
“Our government is committed to ensuring the progress of disadvantaged communities. It has implemented several welfare programmes for them. You need to make effective use of them and become financially self-reliant,” Mr. Nagendra said.
He was speaking after flagging off a function to distribute equipment for disabled persons under Assistance to Disabled Persons for Purchase/Fitting of Aids and Appliances (ADIP Scheme) of the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in Ballari on Sunday.
