Speaking as the chief guest at a wheelchair distribution programme organized by Impact Initiative at a community center in the city’s Dhopadighi area at 3 pm on Wednesday (August 13),

This organization is creating skilled human resources by training unemployed youth and is playing an important role in eliminating unemployment. Such activities are highly commendable.

If various private organizations and organizations along with the government come forward for such charitable work, the physically challenged will benefit even more.
