The State government is planning to set up a sports academy for the differently-abled, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan has said.
It was one among the several announcements that the Chief Minister made at a face-to-face programme with differently-abled persons in the capital on Tuesday. Steps were also being taken to make digital spaces more disabled-friendly, with 170 government websites transformed already under the project.
He said the government had devised schemes for the comprehensive development of the differently-abled by integrating various approaches and possibilities along with initiating steps to strengthen disability prevention, early detection and ensuring rehabilitation. The government’s priority was to ensure a level-playing field for the differently-abled, he said.
