Vidya Sagar offers its inclusive vehicles to seniors and those with disabilities on poll day
Senior citizens and those with disabilities who may need a wheelchair and also a vehicle that factors in their unique limitations, to get to the polling booth, now know where to look for it. Vidya Sagar, an NGO working for persons with disabilities, started Get Going two years ago to help those with varying disabilities to travel comfortably in an inclusive vehicle. “This was largely being availed by the alumni and staff of Vidya Sagar who want to get to their workplace or travel independently. We have two of these inclusive vehicles and we are now offering them to those who may need them to get to the polling booth, at ₹25 per kilometre (Kotturpuram being the start and end point). The vehicle has to be booked at least a day in advance, ” says M. Abhishek, coordinator, Get Going.
