MUMBAI: To celebrate September 17 as Sewa Divas, on the occasion of Honorable PM’s birthday, HRD minister Prakash Javadekar decided to interact with few oppressed class, Dalits and underprivileged. “The Centre will make a slew of provisions for Divyang students in the upcoming education policy and has already asked schools to provide adequate facilities to them”, the minister said on Saturday.

"We will make a lot of provisions for Divyang students across the country in our upcoming new education policy. We have asked the management of schools to provide ramps in buildings make available separate toilets for them or modify/upgrade the existing toilets and facilitate their easy movement on the premises," he said.

Javadekar was interacting with reporters on the sidelines of an event where he met over 100 visually impaired girls at a city school. He said, interaction with Divyang students was part of BJP's decision to celebrate the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as Sewa Diwas.

"Our MPs, MLAs and other leaders decided to celebrate our Prime Minister's birthday as Sewa Diwas. Therefore, we decided to reach out to Dalits and those oppressed and underprivileged," he said.

While impressed with facilities at the 116-year-old Kamla Mehta School for the Blind in Dadar, the minister said, "What we all need is just commitment and zeal to move ahead in our life. These girls are a source of energy and inspiration."

Maharashtra Minister for Social Justice Rajkumar Badole, BJP MP from Beed Preetam Munde and officers from the office of Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities were present on the occasion.

"Our government has undertaken 'Sugamya Bharat' initiative to achieve universal accessibility (of infrastructure) for Divyangs. The government is providing needful support by appointing teachers for Divyang students. And now the need of the hour is to go for mapping of such students, bring them to schools and impart them with necessary skill sets.", said Javadekar.
