Service and welfare of Divyangjan is a matter of inner happiness – Chief Minister Dr. Yadav
Bhopal: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that service and welfare of Divyangjan is a matter of inner happiness. The experience and feeling gained from serving them is supernatural. To encourage harmonious behavior with Divyangjan, it is necessary to remove the prejudice prevailing in the society towards them. Every Divyang person has some talent or the other, by identifying and enhancing it, the energy of Divyangjan can be used for the benefit of the society. As a result of the sensitivity of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the bitter feeling-giving word like Viklang was changed to the respectful address of Divyang. People facing disability are actually true heroes who accept challenges. It is the responsibility of the society to accept and respect their ability. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the program after distributing e-cycles to bone-impaired Divyangjan. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav distributed e-cycles in a program organized in the auditorium of Directorate of Social Justice Department in collaboration with Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) on the initiative of Samdarshi Capacity Development and Research Board “Saksham”.
Louis Braille remembered on World Braille Day
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav inaugurated the program by lighting the lamp. On the occasion of World Braille Day (January 4), he remembered Louis Braille, the developer of Braille script, by paying floral tribute to his portrait. On this occasion, visually impaired girl Kumari Tanya Sharma gave a soulful rendition of Saksham song. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav greeted Kumari Tanya by presenting her a bouquet of flowers. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav released a book developed in Braille script on the schemes and programs run by the Social Welfare and Disabled Empowerment Department and also honored social workers by presenting them shawls, coconuts and certificates. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav distributed e-cycles symbolically to Kumari Anamika Solanki of Mandsaur, Mrs. Rajni Dashore of Khandwa, Ms. Usha Garhwa of Jhabua, Mr. Om Tiwari, Mr. Sukhdev etc. E-cycles were distributed to a total of 47 orthopedically handicapped persons of the state.
E-cycle will be used as a wheel chair at home and a tricycle outside
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Braille script is a great gift for the visually impaired Divyangjan. Also, Braille script is used by the armies of many countries to exchange messages at night. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav praised the e-cycles being distributed on this occasion. He said that these cycles can be used as wheelchairs at home as well as tricycles for commuting outside the house. He said that even after being affected by disability, people have made significant contributions in various fields by using their ability and capacity. In the mythological context, the example of Ashtavakra, great musician late Ravindra Jain and Swami Rambhadracharya ji in the field of religion and spirituality is especially noteworthy.
The organization Saksham is dedicated to creating a harmonious environment in the society for the disabled
In the program, it was informed that “Saksham” – Samadarshi Capacity Development and Research Board is an organization dedicated to the empowerment of Divyangjan, which was established in Nagpur in 2008.
