While Covid-19 is spreading fast in the State, Rajya Shiksha Kendra, Bhopal has prepared for the grand event of World Disabled Handicapped Day (On December 03) across the State  and allocated budget to all Block Resource Coordinator (BRC) of State capital.

Since, corona spread in the State for past eight months, the State Government is not allowing schools to open. On the contrary, the disabled children who have low immunity from birth and who are already suffering from diseases are likely to get infected soon. These types of events is risking their lives. In such a situation, the decision to organise such an event, seems whimsical.

Taking this seriously, Commissioner Disabled Sandeep Rajak has also expressed concern that this time is not suitable for the competition and a letter has been written to Commissioner State Education Center by Madhya Pradesh by Mobile Source Advisor Special Teachers Association.

The letter has mentioned of reference of organizing action sports activity for CWSN and request has been made by all the working mobile source consultants that children in the age group 6 to 14 are physically challenged children need physical support, while every disabled child along with their parents and teachers would be required to be present in the program, making the gathering huge one creating difficulty in properly following the social distancing coronavirus guideline with the differently-abled children in the situation and in properly conducting the program.

Therefore, it is requested that World Handicapped Day observed on December 03 should be postponed in the month of February, the letter stated.
