In Balrampur, Uttar Pradesh, persons with disabilities submitted a memorandum to the District Magistrate over their various problems and demands. They sought education, employment and the benefits of government schemes, along with essential facilities needed in daily life. They said that despite government schemes being in operation, many eligible people are not receiving their benefits. They appealed to the administration to resolve their problems on a priority basis.
Demand for opportunities from education to employment
The memorandum demanded better educational facilities for students with disabilities, resources needed for studies and arrangements for travel. It also stressed providing employment and self-employment opportunities, disability pension and the benefits of other welfare schemes to eligible people.
Tricycles distributed to persons with disabilities
During the programme, tricycles were also distributed to needy persons with disabilities so that they could have easier mobility. Earlier, the district administration in Balrampur had distributed motorised tricycles to 15 eligible persons with disabilities and, in another camp, 108 assistive devices. Persons with disabilities expressed hope that the administration would act on their demands and ensure facilities and rights for them.
