Naxalbari, August 07: In a significant initiative by Alimco, an organization under the Government of India and managed by Bidhannagar Social Welfare Society, a Disability Identification Camp was successfully organized in Naxalbari.
A large number of people from Kharibari, Phansidewa and Matigara of Siliguri sub-division as well as surrounding areas including Jaigaon and Alipurduar attended the camp organized at Naxalbari United Club. Persons with special needs from these areas participated in the camp, which received support from members of various voluntary organizations including Naxalbari Gram Panchayat and United Club.
Apart from identifying disabled persons, an eye examination session was also conducted in the camp. The event aims to provide comprehensive support to the disabled community, ensuring that their needs are recognized and addressed.
After the identification process, those diagnosed will receive necessary support like tricycles, wheelchairs, battery operated wheelchairs and hearing aids in the upcoming post-puja period. This initiative is an important step towards increasing the mobility and independence of persons with disabilities in these areas.
