“The Committee feels that the National Policy for PWDs has not been given wide and enough publicity so that PWDs could avail its benefits. The three schemes operated by the National Trust namely Vikas, Samarth and Gharunda have no visible impact and expenditure under these schemes is negligible.
“The Committee thus urges the department not only to revamp these schemes and make them effective and result- oriented, but also formulate more schemes and programmes to cover more homeless and destitute PWDs.”
