One out of every eight people in the world is disabled in some way and two percent of India's population is disabled. To make the country a developed nation, it is necessary to make the disabled self-reliant, said the Governor. The Governor lauded both the organisations for the work done by the Human Rights Commission and Motiha Charitable Trust for the empowerment of persons with disabilities, saying that if they are given the right opportunities, they can perform well in every field.
Skill Development Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha and other philanthropists were felicitated by the Governor for providing financial support for the purchase of smart glasses. The Governor also inaugurated the website of the Intentional Charitable Trust on this occasion. Scholarship checks were also awarded to 75 differently-abled students at the event.
