The Centre for Community Initiative (CCI) in partnership with Christian
Blind Mission (CBM) has today formally launched a comprehensive survey
on persons with disabilities within the district in their attempt to
fully understand them, their numbers and condition.
Projected to be completed within two years, the survey according to its sponsors will enter every village within the district of Churachandpur to collect the number of persons with disabilities and interact with them to understand their socio-economic condition.
Two Research Assistants have been engaged to conduct the survey for which necessary training has already been imparted as well for the past couple of weeks, it said.
The survey labelled 'Churachandpur district socio-economic survey on persons with disabilities' was formally launched by Churachandpur SP, LM Haokip at Centre for Community Initiative (CCI) conference room here.
The survey team will head for the interior areas of Singngat and Thanlon subdivisions tomorrow.
Churachandpur has till date no proper data on persons with disabilities.
The CCI has expected to change that trend while also expecting that the final data generated by the survey will definitely fetch favourable opportunities for them.
Meanwhile, the CCI which has run The Malsawm Initiative (TMI) - a school for children with special needs, has announced that the United Nations will soon be sending four (4) UN volunteers to help them run the school.
Once the volunteers; a special educator, speech therapist, physiotherapist and a school administrator arrive here, the school has planned to double its intake with two shifts a day.
The UN volunteers will also train teachers of TMI during their stint with them, said a statement issued by CCI.
