Physically challenged children start on district-wide tour

Speaking on the occasion, Kannaiah said special education is proving a blessing for children with necessity. It helps to improve their physical and psychological security as well as their self-confidence, he said.

“As many as six such special resource centres have been opened in the district to provide both physical and mental exercise to the children,” he added.

Education-from-home facility is being provided to children who are unable to attend the regular schools. Volunteers are being selected and trained for this purpose, he explained.
