Kalpa Vruksha -A feeding Program for the Disabled

In the last 10 or 15 years the State Government introduced several welfare programs including setting up Self-Help Groups for people with disabilities and increasing the amount given as pensions. These measures were introduced as strategies to promote the empowerment of persons with disabilities. However, given the limited amounts of these pensions (500 Rupees a month), in these times of increase in the prices of all commodities, paucity of food grains and ever increasing inflation, this small amount is hardly enough for the barest of sustenance for anyone, let alone persons with disabilities.
