On the occasion, the Deputy Commissioner appreciated the participation of stakeholders and stressed the importance of ensuring easy access to welfare schemes for persons with disabilities across the district.
The Deputy Commissioner also stressed upon the concerned officers to ensure that the newly established centre remains fully functional at all times, with adequate staff availability, so that visitors and beneficiaries do not face any inconvenience while availing services under the rehabilitation and Niramaya health scheme.
