Rajnath Singh on the occasion:

He said such Camps are crucial to the integration of Persons with Disabilities (PwD) in to the mainstream and a sensitive government like the current government under the leadership of Narendra Modi will always relentlessly work towards achieving the goal of empowerment of Divyangjans.

He further added that the state-of-the-art Aids and Assistive Devices provided by ALIMCO will equip PwDs and will also be crucial in achieving the objectives of 'Make in India' programme.
