New Delhi, May 3 : Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and V-shesh Learning Services Private Limited have undertaken a pan-India study to comprehend the Impact of Covid-19 on people with disabilities in India in the first quarter of the current year 2021.
The focus of this study was to determine and assess the medium to long term effects of Covid-19 on the lives of Persons with Disabilities.
The pandemic has put immense burden on the government delivery system, as governments, DPOs and NGOs have encountered significant challenges to provide aid, relief materials, and assistance to Persons with Disabilities across India.
Nabard Chairman Dr GR Chintala visited NCDC headquarters last week and met its Managing Director Sundeep Nayak. The aim of the meeting was to boost the formation of Farmers Producer Organization (FPO) across states. Briefing about the content of the meeting, NCDC Managing Director said to Indian Cooperative that NCDC and Nabard are going to help form thousands of FPOs across India.
