Title: Need to set up Jawahar Bal Bhawans in Vizianagaram and North Andhra Coastal districts for the physically handicapped children.
SHRIMATI JHANSI LAKSHMI BOTCHA (BOBBILI): Mr. Chairman, Sir, I would like to raise the issue of sanctioning National Bal Bhavans in the country for the physically handicapped children.
As we all know, National Bal Bhavans are playing a key role in bringing out the creativity among the poor and orphan children. I would request the Government to sanction National Bal Bhavans exclusively for the physically handicapped children in the country in general and Vizianagaram and North Andhra coastal districts in particular as these districts consist of more than 15 per cent physically handicapped children.
I would humbly appeal to the Government, through you, Sir, to sanction National Bal Bhavans for the physically handicapped children.
