A recommendation will be made to the government to open a BUDS school that provides education, skill training, and rehabilitation to mentally and intellectually disabled children in Anchuthengu panchayat, Kerala Women’s Commission chairperson P. Satheedevi has said.
She was speaking after making house visits to understand the problems of women in Anchuthengu as part of a coastal camp organised by the commission on Wednesday.
There were no special facilities in the panchayat to take care of the mentally challenged. Such a mechanism was imperative in Anchuthengu. It was not practical to rehabilitate the coastal people elsewhere. Recommendations to address the problems of the coastal people would be submitted to the government, she said.
