A sports meeting for the differently-abled persons was organised on a grand scale here on Thursday.
Eluru: A sports meeting for the differently-abled persons was organised on a grand scale here on Thursday. Launching the meet, Joint Collector M Venugopal Reddy called upon differently-abled persons to excel in all fields by availing various schemes extended to them by the government.

The abilities of differently-abled are on par with others and with dedication and self-confidence they can achieve all things in life. "They don't need any sympathy. Encouragement and support are all their families and society can offer to see them grow to highest levels in sAociety," the JC said.
