The Disability Welfare Department is implementing the campaign 'Divyangachya Dari' by the state government so that the differently abled can benefit from various schemes and do not have to visit the government offices to get the documents they need. The campaign will be held in Thane district on Friday, September 1 at Shiv Samarth Vidyalaya in Thane. The district administration has appealed to the maximum number of persons with disabilities in the urban as well as rural areas of the district to participate in this campaign.
Various schemes of the state government have been started in the past years for the all-round development of the differently-abled persons and to provide them with employment. However, frequent visits to government offices are required to avail these schemes. Often a person cannot afford frequent visits to government offices. So, sometimes they are not able to avail the benefits of these schemes as they do not have the documents required to avail these schemes.
In this, there will be a book distribution stall providing information on various schemes for the differently abled, a stall for issuing voter registration, Aadhaar card, caste certificate, ration card, PAN card, income certificate and other documents, Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yojana, Divyang Swavalamban Karj Yojana etc. This campaign will be held in Thane district on Friday, September 1 at Shiv Samarth Vidyalaya opposite Gadkari Rangayatan in Thane. In order for the citizens of the rural areas of the district to participate in this campaign, arrangements will be made to bring the differently abled to the campaign site under the guidance of the Group Development Officer.
