Imphal, July 31 2013:
The All Tribal Disabled Students' Union Manipur (ATDSUM) has reiterated its demand for decentralisation of authority for issue of disability certificates and setting up of special school with hostel facility for tribal disabled students in one of the hill districts of the State.
In a statement, the ATDSUM highlighted the hardship faced by disabled students of far flung areas in obtaining disability certificate at a single centre while also urging the Social Welfare Minister to look into the matter.
It also pointed out that there is only one school in the State for disabled students especially for the blind, deaf and mute but there is no school for Locomotor disability and mentally retarded persons.
