Delhi govt gives Rs 1.52 crore to pick and drop children with special needs

All government-run schools, including those run by the Directorate of Education, the civic corporations and the Delhi Cantonment Board, have been provided money for the facility.

Students from Class I to VIII, irrespective of the degree of disability, will be eligible for the pick-and-drop.

“Getting children with special needs physically inside schools is a major issue. The escort facility will help convince parents to let these children sit in classrooms,” a source said.
