Jagdeep Dhankhar today said that all efforts should converge to ensure a life of dignity for children with special needs so that, “they achieve their sense of selfhood and inclusion”. He also appealed to everyone to forge a path towards a future where we make the world safe and meaningful for such a category of children.
Addressing a gathering at the inaugural ceremony of Higashi Autism School in New Delhi today, the Vice President noted that it is the mother who takes all responsibility on her shoulders, sacrificing every comfort to ensure the growth of children with special needs. Therefore, he called upon the male gender to work “shoulder to shoulder with their spouses and companions in a missionary mode” when the child faces a challenge of autism and needs support. He underlined the importance of not leaving one's partner to face the challenges alone stating that abandoning them during these challenging times would “forfeit your right to be a member of mankind”.
