Ludhiana, December 3
The District Special Olympics Association observed the World Disability Day with all NGOs and schools working for persons with disabilities. A small picnic was organised at Rakh Bagh along with fun games, dance and food.
Fun games brought people from different sections of society together and created awareness about accessibility and inclusion.
Students and teachers of about 13 special schools of Ludhiana participated in the activities and were given free rides, food and drinks.
Chief guest Civil Surgeon Dr Hitinder Kaur Sohal speaking on the occasion said, “These children are a special part of society. They need to be given rights.”
