The society should keep in mind that the differently abled people are entitled to all benefits that the mainstream society enjoys, said Minister for Ports Ahammad Devarokovil here on Friday.
Launching the Unarvu 2021 programme of the Department of Social Justice in Kozhikode on Friday, the Minister said society should support the parents of differently abled persons. He said the different abilities did not come under medical science any more, but social science.

The National Trust, in association with district social justice office, Humanities Charitable Trust and Kerala Vyapari Vyavasayi Ekopana Samithi, organised a “Walk with celebrities” in which several differently abled children took a walk down S.M.Street along with noted personalities.
