Higher and Technical Education Minister Champai Soren has said that the state government is determined to ensure inclusive participation of disabled in normal life. Taking this thinking forward, the establishment of a state university for disabled has been envisaged. Soren was addressing the State Level Consultative Workshop organized at Hotel BNR on Tuesday as the chief guest. He said that our thinking is to do something for human life that can set an example. Inclusive University for Divyangjans is a historic initiative. He said that not everyone has everything in human life. Our Divyangjans are also included in them. Talking about complete development without focusing on their inclusive development will be meaningless. Efforts are on to ensure their participation in normal human life. Referring to a village located on the border of Odisha in Rajnagar block of Saraikela Kharsawan, he told how the blind headmaster of the school there used to teach. Taking inspiration from his works, an initiative is being taken to establish Divyangjan University. He said that Jharkhand is basically a rich state. It is well-equipped with forests and bushes, but it is also backward. He is not criticizing anyone for backwardness, but we should think about how to make it more developed. He said that if there is willpower, then every problem can be solved. The government is constantly developing facilities for higher education. Every facility is being provided to the students. The government is also focusing on the education of orphan children. He told the intellectuals who came to the workshop that by taking their suggestions, he will make the concept of an inclusive Divyang University a reality. In the workshop, the Principal Secretary of the Higher and Technical Education Department, Rahul Purwar said that an inclusive environment has to be created for the special class of society, the Divyangjans. This is the responsibility of not only the department, but all of us. The same facts are included in the concept of an inclusive Divyang University. He said that our goal is to identify the potential of the Divyangjans and focus on their development. There are a total of 21 categories of Divyangjans. Courses have to be designed for them keeping in mind their needs as per their category. Classes have to be designed. Sharing his experience, he said that during his posting as Deputy Commissioner in Latehar district, he had started a program called Ek Nayi Subah for Divyangjans. Similarly, 40 thousand Divyangjans were benefited through Udaan and Gurukul programs in Deoghar. He said that apart from Divyangjans, he will bring various schemes for normal students as well.
