MAA Group focuses on empowerment of disabled

Hyderabad: The International Day of Persons with Disabilities was started in 1992 by the United Nations. Persons with disabilities do not have equal access to society or services, including education, employment, health care, transportation, political participation or justice. This day is aimed to promote understanding of the disability related issues and render support for the dignity, rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.
