The Governor said that people with disabilities need cooperation rather than sympathy. Persons with disabilities have a divine gift of knowing more and often perform better than a normal person, the governor said. Today, the government also helps the differently abled persons with various orthopedic devices as well as cochlear implants for hearing. On this occasion, the Governor suggested that the Rotary Club should not only prepare books in Braille for Class X students but also prepare serial books in Braille for the next classes.
Former MP Sanjeev Naik, District Governor of Rotary District 3142 Milind Kulkarni, President of Rotary Club of Hiranandani Estate Sukumaran Nair, Rtn.
