Awareness initiative for PwD & Senior Citizens
GANDERBAL, MAY 02:
On the directions of the District Development Commissioner Ganderbal, the
Department of Social Welfare Ganderbal initiated a comprehensive election
awareness campaign targeting specifically persons with disabilities and senior
citizens.
This significant
outreach initiative, featuring key stakeholders such as One Stop Centre, Senior
Citizen Home, District Disability Rehabilitation Centre (DDRC), District Hub
for Empowerment of Women (DHEW) and Mission Vatsalya aims to educate and
facilitate easy access to voting processes for these important community
groups.
The campaign will
encompass a series of informational sessions and workshops across Ganderbal
District.
These sessions are
designed to inform and assist individuals in understanding their voting rights,
the importance of their votes, and the logistics of how they can cast their
votes with ease, ensuring that no citizen is left behind during the electoral
process.
Pertinently,
District Administration Ganderbal is committed to ensuring that every citizen,
regardless of their physical abilities or age, has the knowledge and means to
participate in the democratic process, and in this regard all arrangements are
meticulously put in place.
The officials of
the District Social Welfare Office encourage all eligible citizens, their
families and caregivers to attend these sessions and take full advantage of the
resources being made available.
