Imphal East Deputy Commissioner, M Joy today emphasized the need for uplifting differently-able persons at equal level with rest of the society and providing compulsory education to all children under RTE Act.
He was taking part part in a function at District Project Office, SSA, Imphal East here during which wheel chairs and hearing aids were distributed to 42 'children with special needs' from different parts of the State.
The Deputy Commissioner observed that with introduction of Rights to Education (RTE) Act, education should be provided to all children without fail.
There are also a lot of policies to be implemented under RTE Act for differently-abled children as it is equally important that persons with disabilities are given all the benefits under RTE Act.
