The Union Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of India, is set to inaugurate the 75th Pradhan Mantri Divyasha Kendra (PMDK)
at Government Medical College, Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, marking a significant milestone in the nationwide initiative to empower Divyangjan (persons with disabilities) and senior citizens.
The inauguration ceremony will be graced by Union Minister of State for Social Justice & Empowerment, Shri B.L. Verma, in the presence of senior officials from
the Ministry, representatives of ALIMCO (Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India), District Administration, and other dignitaries.
Pradhan Mantri Divyasha Kendra is a unique initiative aimed at providing integrated services under one roof—including assessment, evaluation, counselling, distribution, and post-distribution care—for eligible Divyangjan and elderly beneficiaries.
These centres are being established through ALIMCO, a Central Public Sector Undertaking under the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD).
The newly established PMDK at Badaun will provide assistive aids and appliances under the ADIP Scheme for Divyangjan and the Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana (RVY) for senior citizens.
