Odisha approved the extension of the scheme for PWD with around RS 139 Crore

Bhubaneswar: The State Government Expenditure Financing Committee (EFC) has agreed to the extension of Bhima Bhinnakhyama Samarthya Abhiyan (BBSA), an integrated initiative for the empowerment of people with disabilities (PWD), for five years with the estimated RS costs.
139.25 Crore.
The National Sample Survey Survey (NSSO) in 2018 is estimated at 3.2 percent of the population in the country is PWD, which is the highest in this country.
This has increased the need for the continuation of the scheme for further periods, the official source said.
Social Security and Empowerment of Disabled Department Secretary has made a presentation before EFC on January 11 regarding justification for further continuation of the scheme, expansion of activities for PWDS and increased estimated cost of wise schema components and the year more period of five years.
EFC approved a further extension of the scheme from 2021-22 to 2025-26 with an estimated cost of Rs 139.25 Crore.
In the coming years, the department will connect the Aadhar PWD card.
Every financial assistance is to be credited to the Bank Linked Aadhar account from the beneficiaries through direct benefit (DBT) transfers below this scheme.
The department will explore the possibility of convergence / scholarship integration for PWD children who pursue higher education with the Ministry of Higher Education and to compile a system to monitor problems related to scholarship payments to PWD children who need.
It will also explore the possibility of convergence of the scheme component with the support of corporate social responsibility (CSR) wherever possible.
Third-party evaluation of the scheme will be carried out for the past five years.
