New Delhi, June 26 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Delhi government is planning to construct a residential complex for children with special needs, designed to improve their lifestyles and cater to their diverse needs.
In the initial phase, approximately 456 boys with special needs will be accommodated in it.
On Monday, Delhi's Social Welfare Minister Raaj Kumar Anand conducted a review meeting with department officials to discuss and make significant decisions regarding the initiative.
These homes will be constructed in Mamurpur village, Narela, where the utmost care and support will be provided to children with specific requirements. "The Kejriwal government has decided to build residential homes for mentally challenged children residing in Delhi. The plan is underway to construct these homes on a 9.7-acre plot of land in Mamurpur village, Narela. Currently, these newly built residential homes are being exclusively initiated for boys with disabilities," Anand said.
He also said that the Delhi government, with a focus on the requirements of the differently abled, will ensure that this building is exceptionally modern. The infrastructure of the residential home will be modernised, and a multipurpose hall will be constructed where workshops and programmes for individuals with special needs will be organised at regular intervals.
The AAP minister added that rehabilitation centres would be established for specially-abled individuals in the newly constructed residential homes. These centres will primarily focus on identifying and evaluating their disabilities.
Additionally, eligible individuals will be provided with necessary assistive devices such as hearing aids, wheelchairs, crutches, spectacles, and other supportive tools according to their needs, free of charge. Along with assistive devices, physical therapy will be offered for physical issues, and psychologists will provide counselling to identify their concerns, he said.
Furthermore, speech therapists will offer free treatment for stammering and speech-related problems, Anand added.
