Adopt specially challenged kids, teachers urged

Rajamahendravaram: The Rajamahendravaram Municipal Corporation (RMC) Commissioner, V Vijayarama Raju has advised the teaching fraternity to adopt differently-abled children as many of them lack food and shelter.

Teachers of municipal corporation schools and students of Priyadarshini Deaf and Dumb school met the Commissioner at his chamber and greeted him for the New Year day here on Monday.

Speaking on the occasion, he said that the government was taking care about their welfare but it is also upon the society to extend their helping hand to the hapless and differently-abled kids. “It is an opportunity to serve them,” the commissioner said and appealed the teachers to come forward wholeheartedly. Priyadarshini Deaf and Dumb School secretary, Swapna and others were present at the meeting.
