Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that service and welfare of the disabled is a matter of inner happiness. The experience and feeling gained from their service is supernatural. To encourage harmonious treatment of persons with disabilities, it is necessary to remove the existing stigma towards them in the society. Every disabled person definitely has some talent, by identifying it, improving it and encouraging him, the energy of the disabled person can be used for the benefit of the society. As a result of the sensitivity of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the bitterly felt word like handicapped was changed and a respectable address of disabled was given. Persons facing disability are indeed true heroes who accept challenges. It is the responsibility of the society to accept and respect their capabilities.
