Respected Rt. Honourable Prime Minister,
In a fast moving, increasingly competitive world where survival, achieving and acquiring are the key goals, it is not surprising that care, concern for the differently abled, special needs individuals is almost negligible in our Society. In fact, the special needs persons even if they are senior citizens are treated with contempt and almost like dirt.

To expect an al encompassing societal transformation in this regard would be a tall order as it would mean changing the mindset of the people, including some in governance too. Yes Mr.Prime Minister. Even a person in governance, has said that such individuals must be kept at home and not brought out in public places. There are NGOs and individuals working for the welfare of such special needs, differently abled persons.

But that is seemingly a miniscule of the required effort as a study of the related statics show.
In view of the above, why is there no effort by the government to assist and improve the quality of life for the differently abled through welfare schemes, programs and activities? Even the Ministry of Social Welfare fails to address this issue adequately
