Performing the State level inauguration of the disbursal of aid to the differently abled under the aegis of the Kerala Handicapped Persons’ Welfare Corporation in Kozhikode, the Minister said that efforts would be made to create an environment in which the differently abled persons in the State could overcome their physical difficulties and mental challenges, and be a part of the society without any inhibitions. “All efforts will be made to enable them to reach heights in their career and education. Steps have been taken to make all schools and colleges in the state differently-abled friendly”, the Minister said.
