​Hyderabad: “Physically challenged children and youth should avoid having inferiority complex and instead focus on what best they can do for survival through education and work, Roads & Buildings Minister Tummala Nageshwar Rao observed at a programme organised here on Saturday to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya and Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav were among the dignitaries present at the programme.

He exhorted the physically disabled to make use of the schemes and programmes, considering that Rs 422.21 lakh had been sanctioned for 729 persons with disabilities under the Financial Rehabilitation Programme.
The KCR government had been offering Rs 1,500 as monthly pension for 4,57,087 disabled persons and providing shelter to 2,258 persons in 20 hostels, he maintained.
