Talking with ‘The Hitavada’ Bachchu Kadu said that the morcha was to attract attention of the Government for welfare of handicapped persons. The Government is constantly neglecting demands of the handicapped persons. As per the norms, Government should spend 3% of yearly budget for welfare of handicapped. However the norm has been followed more in breach but if the funds are used they can uplift the status of handicapped. The Government should also allocate houses to all handicapped persons.
Kadu demonstrated that handicapped persons do have energy and zeal to be use to nation and said some of them have won laurels in various sporting events. Some of the sportspersons who are handicapped are even decorated with Chhattrapati Shivaji Award by State. Therefore State should formulate a policy to properly utilise the services of handicapped persons.
