Technical training and mass marriage programme for the disabled in Odisha

The Sambalpur administration of Odisha will organise a technical education training and mass marriage programme for the disabled people of the state.

The idea is to celebrate World Disability Day, which is on 3 December.

The technical education training programme will help physically disabled persons of the district to become self-employed while the mass marriage ceremony will allow physically disabled persons to find their life partner.

The block development officers of the district are told to form a team of members that will visit villages and identify physically disabled persons and know their financial status.

They are also told to make a self employment action plan for the disabled people to know their interests and provide training in the professions of their interest.
