In a significant review of social welfare initiatives, Deputy Commissioner (DC) Sanghar, Sarah Aslam, has presented a comprehensive overview of the district's achievements and ongoing support for persons with disabilities. The briefing underscored the administration's dedicated efforts to foster an inclusive environment and empower this important segment of the community.
Financial Support and Registration Drives
DC Sarah Aslam highlighted that a core component of the support system is direct financial assistance. She revealed that monthly stipends are being provided to 3,690 persons with disabilities across the district. This sustained aid plays a crucial role in helping individuals and their families meet basic needs and improve their quality of life.
Furthermore, to ensure no one is left behind, the district administration has been actively working to identify and register more individuals who are eligible for support. Special registration campaigns are a key part of this strategy, aiming to expand the net of social protection and integrate more people into the formal support system.
Implementation of Job Quotas and Accessibility
Moving beyond financial aid, the Deputy Commissioner emphasized the critical importance of economic empowerment through employment. She confirmed the active implementation of the 2% job quota reserved for persons with disabilities in government departments within Sanghar district. This policy is a vital step towards providing dignified livelihoods and promoting financial independence.
In addition to employment opportunities, the administration is also focusing on physical accessibility. DC Aslam pointed out that efforts are underway to install wheelchair ramps in government buildings. This initiative is designed to break down physical barriers, ensuring that public offices and services are accessible to all citizens, thereby promoting greater participation in civic life.
A Commitment to Dignity and Inclusion
The briefing concluded with a strong reaffirmation of the district administration's commitment. DC Sarah Aslam stated that the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities remain a top priority for the government. The outlined achievements in financial aid, job quotas, and accessibility measures represent a multi-faceted approach to inclusion.
These efforts collectively aim to ensure that individuals with disabilities can live with dignity, have equal opportunities, and actively contribute to society. The administration's message is clear: building an inclusive Sanghar where every citizen has the chance to thrive is an ongoing and essential mission.
