East Disabled Development Society (NEDDS). Mobile PCO
The North Eastern Development Finance
Corporation (NEDFi), Bharti
Airtel and Vocational Rehabilitation Centre (VRC), have
jointly taken an initiative to create livelihood opportunities for the
disabled and handicap in the state as part of their social
responsibility.
NEDFi has sanctioned a loan amount of Rs 4.71 lakh
for about 200 mobile PCOs for the physically handicapped while Bharti
Airtel came forward to provide free SIMs and recharge coupons from the
PCOs.
To begin with, 15 mobile PCOs were distributed to physically challenged
people in the presence of Ajanta Neog, social welfare minister of
Assam.. The beneficiaries were identified by
North East Disabled Development Society (NEDDS).
NEDFi, which has been associated with providing loans to enterprising
persons of North East India, is now planning to give back to the society
by utilising its social responsibility policy fund, said KN Hazarika
while interacting with the press.
He added, "NEDFi had recently reserved Rs 1 crore for its social
responsibility policy fund and the fund will be further increased at an
appropriate time".
