Differently abled get ‘privilege cards’

Fri, 10/11/2019 - 11:13 -- geeta.nair

Rajan Eye Care Hospital launched an initiative to distribute ‘privilege cards’ to differently abled persons. The event was organised as part of World Sight Day, observed on the second Thursday of October every year, said Mohan Rajan, the chairman of the hospital.

There are around 180 to 200 million blind people all over the world. The theme for this year is vision first, he said.

“We have taken a niche group of differently able persons this time. This is the second edition of project VISDA (Vision for the Differently Abled). The first edition was launched a few years ago and we gave privilege cards to visually impaired persons. This time we have chosen persons with physical disability,” Dr. Mohan said.
