Recognise the talents of Divyangjan, not the weaknesses: Patel
Governor Mangubhai Patel attended the Deaf Cane Festival
Bhopal 04 June 2022: Governor Mangubhai Patel has said that to get success in life, it is necessary to have thinking, not means. If physical deficiencies or weaknesses are taken as inspiration, then disability becomes helpful in personality development. What is needed is the belief that Divyangjan are no less than anyone, they need guidance, cooperation and support. He has called for not recognising the weaknesses of Divyangjan, recognise their talents and develop them and it is necessary for the society to be cooperative in giving new direction to their energy. It is the responsibility of everyone to understand the problems of their differently-abled siblings and be sensitive and cooperative while doing whatever work they do, wherever.
Governor Patel was addressing the 5th Deaf Festival 2022 organised by Deaf Cane Foundation in the auditorium of People's University. He honoured the deaf-dumb Divyang talents in the programme and conferred DCF Life Time Achievement Award 2022 on AISCD New Delhi’s Director Sushri Sonu Anand, DCF Best Dance Award 2022 on Deaf Kathak Dance Performance Jabalpur Director Ankit Sen and Best India's First Advocate Award 2022 to Sushri Sarah Sunny from Kottayam, Kerala. He had a look at the exhibition of materials prepared by Divyangjan. On this occasion the parents of deaf and dumb Divyangs were present.
Governor Mangubhai Patel said that the vision and role of society is crucial in making Divyangjan capable and feel equal with others. Referring to the differently-abled child who excelled in singing in a TV programme, he said that the need of the hour is to believe that Divyangjan is not less than anyone. Persons affected by physical disabilities can lead a better quality of life if they get equal opportunities and access to effective rehabilitation. Appreciating the rehabilitation of Divyang brothers and sisters by Divyangjan, he congratulated the institution for successful organisation of Deaf Festival.
In the programme, Sharad Dixit, Adviser of Deaf Cane Institute, said that the proposal has been submitted to the government regarding primary education to university level education of deaf and dumb Divyang people. Preeti Soni, General Secretary of Deaf Cane Institute expressed the happiness of the Governor's arrival in sign language. She said that the organisation conducts training programmes for personality development and provides teaching of subjects like Mathematics and English in the rehabilitation efforts of the Divyang. She said that efforts are being made to open schools for the primary education of Divyang children.
