Social Welfare Centre to set up panel for the disabled Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Jan. 10 THE Union Government will soon set up a Central Commission for the disabled to study their problems and formulate guidelines for solving them. Announcing this here today, Mr M. Venkaiah Naidu, national president of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said the Government would issue a notification in a day or two in this regard. The proposed commission would comprise a chairman and seven members, including five part-time members and two women members. Addressing a meeting at the Durgabai Deshmukh Vocational Training and Rehabilitation Centre for Handicapped (DDVTRC), he said the Prime Minister had given the go-ahead for the proposal. "The members of the commission would visit all the States to study the problems of the disabled and suggest measures to improve their lot. The Statutory commission would have a three-year term," the BJP leader said. The meeting was organised to mark the inaugural of a new block of DDVTRC. The Government of Japan has sanctioned Rs 37 lakh, while Maganti Foundation donated Rs 45 lakh for the construction of two floors of `Maganti Lakshmi Bai Block' on the Andhra Mahila Sabha premises. Mentally and physically challenged children would get vocational training in this block. Inaugurating the new block, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, the caretaker Chief Minister, said the State Government allocated 3 per cent of budgets in each department on the well being of the disabled.
