Assistive devices to be distributed to differently abled under Social Justice Dept. scheme
The world will now be a changed one for 39-year-old Lijesh and his little daughter Nova from Choondy. Little Nova will be able to see the world sitting on the lap of his father thanks to an electric wheelchair he is set to receive on Friday under the Social Justice Department’s scheme for distributing assistive devices to the differently abled. Mayor M. Anilkumar will inaugurate the programme under which five electric wheelchairs and three specially-designed wheelchairs will be distributed to the cerebral palsy-inflicted at the old age home at Thevara.More Related News
