New Delhi, Sep 30 (UNI) To facilitate and empower the differently abled, the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) in association with the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) is launching various extension training and education programmes across the country.

The 3-month awareness-cum-training programme for parents would be a self-viable initiative, which will promote and implement specially designed courses that would benefit people with various disabilities.
