Crawling differently-abled
persons have demanded the government to provide exclusive homes for
them in all the districts. They stressed the demand at the first
state-level conference for crawling differently-abled persons organised in the city on Sunday. Crawling differently-abled persons are the most affected persons among the differently-abled
in the society in terms of both economically and psychologically.
Government should provide special focus on them persons since they are
the most disadvantaged section of persons, they lamented.
"Crawling differently-abled people who depend on external help undergo tremendous mental trauma from the rest of the family members. A large number of crawling differently-abled persons would want to leave their families and lead a life of their own. But they are left with no option but to stick with the family for food and shelter," said K Manimaran, a crawling differently-abled person from Trichy adding that an exclusive home for them run by government would help them relieve from such mental trauma.
"We need the government's special attention. Government should allocate separate quota in job opportunities for us. It should also come forward to help us to start our own businesses. A separate industrial estate for us should be developed. Government should also provide loan amount to start own business with 50% subsidy," said Raju, Madurai district president for crawling differently-abled persons association.
They also stressed for differently-abled friendly buildings. At present, ramp facilities are not available in most of the government offices. Exclusive toilet facilities for the differently-abled and its clean maintenance were also one of the demands. In the first conference which attracted more than 400 differently-abled people from throughout the state, G Chidambaranathan, state president of the Tamil Federation of Physically Challenged Associations said that most of these people in this community are the worst sufferers among the differently-abled and it is high time that they are provided with special attention.
