Bhagalpur: To promote mobility and independence among the differently-abled and elderly citizens, the ministry of social justice and empowerment will distribute free assistive devices under its ADIP and Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana (RVY) schemes in Bhagalpur. A total of 1,720 registered beneficiaries from the district – 636 under ADIP and 1,084 under RVY – will receive the aids during a three-day distribution camp starting on June 24 at Sandy's Compound. Union minister of state B L Verma and Bhagalpur MP Ajay Kumar Mandal will distribute wheelchairs, tricycles, hearing aids, walking frames, crutches and other prosthetic devices at the event. MP Ajay Kumar Mandal, who played a key role in facilitating the camp, said, "This is a major initiative by the Centre. It will greatly assist the 1,720 registered beneficiaries in Bhagalpur district." He added that most beneficiaries are from Jagdishpur, Sabour, Nathnagar, Sultanganj, Sahkund, Pirpainty and Goradih blocks. The scheme targets physically challenged persons and senior citizens from below poverty line (BPL) families. "The goal is to provide scientific and modern devices to support their rehabilitation and improve their independence. This includes physical aids and assisted-living devices for the elderly suffering from age-related disabilities," the MP said. The initiative is part of the Centre's broader effort to empower marginalised sections through direct support and inclusion.
