Disability health check-up camp was
organized by VIMUKTI Pothnal at primary health centre Kavithal premises.
Nearly 9 staff actively participated and identified differently abled
children in 3 major villages, Kavithal, Vatgal and Amingada. Worldwide,
89% of children go to school. However, only 2% of Children with
disability in Manvi Taluka from low and middle income families attend
school. People with disabilities have generally poorer health, lower
education achievements, fewer economic opportunities and higher rates of
poverty than people without disabilities. This is largely due to the
lack of services available to them and the many obstacles they face in
their everyday lives. Last week with the collaboration of health
department RIMS Raichur, Disability department and Samuha Samarthya NGO
Devdurga health checkup was conducted and identified various
disabilities like physically handicapped, Blind, Deaf, Dumb, lame,
leper, crippled etc.,) and demanded the concerned department to provide
various government facilities to these little deprived children without
delay, So that these facilities will help them to grow, to learn and to
smile like any other normal child in the society..
