On the other hand, MP J Santosh Kumar, Telangana Vikalangula Cooperative Corporation (TVCC) Chairman K Vasudeva Reddy, MLCs P Srinivas Reddy and Madireddy Srinivas Reddy participated in a programme organized at the TRS party office and interacted with the differently abled.

“The Chief Minister is providing the much needed assistance to differently-abled through Aasara scheme. Times have changed and the differently-abled persons are also excelling in all fields. There were many examples of them clearing IAS and other national level entrance examinations,” Santosh Kumar said.

Vasudeva Reddy said the State government has been distributing artificial limbs and hearing aids despite the financial constraints arising out of the lockdown. “Very soon, we will be handing over motor-driven three wheelers, laptops to the blind, 4G smart phones to hearing impaired, and battery run wheelchairs. We will allow the beneficiaries to apply online for these equipment,” he said.
