SHOCKING: Chess training for differently abled | Mind Blowing Facts

The district administration has devised a recreational programme for the differently abled in association with the District Sports Council. District Collector V.R. Vinod, who heads the programme, said that the scheme would bring about a positive change to the monotonous life of those destined to spend their time in wheelchairs.

He said the programme would help to bring out intellectual, artistic, sporting skills of the differently abled. “The differently abled should not be confined to homes. We will help them engage in activities and amusements of their choice,” said Mr. Vinod.

The project would aim at empowering the differently abled by helping them reach mainstream through intensive training in different skills. It will also help them acquire jobs using IT.
