The Chavara block panchayat has launched the Vidyaswantana Kiranam project to ensure the welfare of differently abled children.
As part of the scheme, differently abled children studying in various schools under the Chavara Block Resource Centre (BRC) will be provided medicines and other support. “There are 512 differently abled students in 45 schools and about 60% of them are from underprivileged families. Their parents are forced to spend a considerable amount every month for medicines and other assistive devices. The aim is to support them,” said block panchayat president Santosh Thuppassery.
