DINDIGUL: Disabled persons of Kadayam village in Tirunelveli district will
get physical and emotional support through confidence and capacity
building measures soon as Gandhigram Trust has launched a special project
for them.
Under this project, the trust will provide safe environment for disabled
children to live, study and grow and introduce promotional activities that
will build confidence and ability of the disabled and help them lead an
independent life.
Early detection and intervention, medical tests, effective counselling,
speech therapy, supply of hearing aids and learning materials and
development of infrastructure are other components of the project.
The disabled will be exposed to vocational training on the basis of their
acuteness of disability, according to M.R. Rajagopalan, secretary of the
trust.
He was presiding over the trust’s annual day function held on its
premises on Tuesday evening.
Already, a survey has been completed in the village and a sum of Rs. 23.5
lakh sanctioned for the first year of implementation of the project.
Community-based rehabilitation would be its main focus.
Thirty villages in nine panchayats would be covered for community-based
rehabilitation, providing education, health and vocational training.
Ante-natal care of women would be taken up, he added. On successful
implementation, this project would be replicated in all villages of
Tirunelveli district.
