Pune: \u201cTeaching regular children comes with many challenges. In such circumstances, you teachers are doing commendable work by shaping the lives of differently-abled children, making them self-reliant and dignified. Your contribution in making these children independent is truly admirable,\u201d stated Rajya Sabha MP Prof. Dr. Medha Kulkarni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She was speaking at a felicitation ceremony for teachers of differently-abled students, organized by Lions Clubs International through the initiative of social worker Seema Dabke. The event was held at the Ganesh Auditorium of New English School on Tilak Road. Commissioner for the Welfare of the Disabled Praveen Puri, former Lions District Governors Dr. Deepak Shah, Ramesh Shah, Sachin Nahar, and event coordinator Seema Dabke were present at the program. The event also featured a special session by laughter yoga trainer Makarand Tillu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On this occasion, individuals who have overcome disability and excelled in various fields \u2014 Amol Shingare, Abhijit Shingde, Tripti Chordiya, Sara Joshi, and Ritvik Joshi \u2014 were felicitated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Dr. Medha Kulkarni further stated, \u201cTeachers who educate differently-abled children are truly courageous. Government, administration, and NGOs must come together to empower them. This collective effort can help restore balance in nature. Instead of being dependent, these students should be transformed into valuable resources. Many socially conscious individuals are working at the grassroots level, complementing the government\u2019s efforts. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds should be channeled into meaningful initiatives. A grand exhibition on the concept of \u2018Divyang\u2019 (differently-abled) should be organized.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Praveen Puri added, \u201cBehind every student\u2019s success stand teachers and parents. Special efforts are being made to train differently-abled teachers and promote the use of modern technology. Plans are underway to provide special grants to unaided schools for the differently-abled. Innovative programs are being launched for the welfare of the differently-abled.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Deepak Shah remarked, \u201cMany people are doing great work in society. Thanks to such selfless individuals, society progresses. Differently-abled teachers are doing exceptional work, and their patience is truly inspiring.\u201d Ramesh Shah emphasized that the initiative aims to bring a ray of hope into the lives of marginalized sections of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In her opening address, Seema Dabke said, \u201cFor the past four decades, initiatives for the differently-abled have been ongoing. Since last year, we have started this felicitation ceremony to honor the teachers who shape the lives of these children. This is a token of gratitude and appreciation for their invaluable work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
