Physically challenged persons will get medical support at the facility, says trust founder
Former Chief Vigilance Commissioner K.V. Chowdary has said that re-skilling of physically challenged persons was the need of the hour to make them self-reliant.
He inaugurated Sri Gurudeva Charitable Trust’s 50-bed hospital at Mangalampalem of Kothavalasa mandal in the district on Saturday. He said that the construction of the hospital to provide treatment free of cost to poor patients and physically challenged persons was laudable and it would instil confidence among the downtrodden sections.
“Many persons who lost limbs due to accidents, electric shocks and other reasons may not be able to continue their previous jobs. Providing artificial limbs may not ensure their livelihood. They need to be trained in the work area of their interest to enhance their confidence and help them employed,” said Mr. Chowdary. He suggested that industries and corporates allocate their CSR (corporate social responsibility) funds for re-skilling of such persons.
