The committee headed by M.K. Jayaraj, Principal of the C.H. Mohammed Koya Memorial State Institute for the Mentally Challenged, submitted a report to Education Minister P.K. Abdu Rabb at a function held in his chamber on Friday.
The committee recommended that a centre should be opened in each district to provide job-oriented rehabilitation for differently-abled persons above the age of 18. The Government can even think of a rehabilitation village for the benefit of these persons, the committee said.
Another recommendation was on opening special primary health centres to cater to the differently-abled children. The Education Minister, while accepting the report, said that the Government was planning to introduce a mechanism to streamline the functioning of educational institutions for differently- abled children including those in unaided sectors. The minister added that the report would be placed before the cabinet for further action.
