Social organisation Jan Aakrosh will conduct traffic safety training for students from various city schools at the park.

NMC's disability survey nears completion
Nagpur: The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) recently undertook a comprehensive survey to collect data on persons with disabilities across the city. Conducted with the support of Mahatma Gandhi Seva Sangh and executed by NMC's ASHA workers, the survey is in its final phase and received significant participation from Nagpur residents. The NMC urged citizens to cooperate by providing accurate information to ASHA workers to ensure that persons with disabilities can access benefits from schemes implemented by the central govt, state govt, and the municipal corporation. Under the guidance of NMC commissioner Dr Abhijeet Chaudhary, additional commissioner Vasumana Pant, medical health officer Dr Deepak Selokar, and social development officer Dr Ranjana Lade, the survey is being carried out across all ten zones of the city to identify 21 categories of disabilities. To prepare for this initiative, ASHA workers underwent training from April 2 to April 11, 2025. The survey aims to create a roadmap for the upliftment of persons with disabilities by identifying their needs and ensuring access to welfare schemes. Many individuals miss out on benefits due to a lack of information or incomplete documentation. The survey collects details such as disability types, UDID cards, Aadhaar cards, and other relevant information to facilitate access to these schemes and support future planning. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo While the survey saw enthusiastic participation from the general and middle-class populations in most areas of Nagpur, ASHA workers faced challenges in upscale neighbourhoods.
