Mohali: Committees Formed to Monitor Disabled Children's Welfare
In Mohali, special groups called committees have been created to help children with disabilities.
These groups will check if these children are getting all the help they need, like healthcare and education, through government programs.
The committees include important people from different departments, such as judges, doctors, and education officers.
They will ensure children with disabilities are identified and get all the benefits they are entitled to.
This initiative aims to make sure these children can go to school, get medical care, and be included in society, as per the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Supreme Court.
PSLSA has established monitoring committees in Mohali to oversee welfare schemes for children with disabilities.
The committees operate at district and taluka levels, collaborating with the health department and other stakeholders.
These committees are formed following directions from the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The main goal is to supervise the identification and screening of children with disabilities.
