Governor's Directive on UDID Card Delays
Taking note of a news report that highlighted delays in the issuance of UDID cards to three persons with disabilities, Governor Yadav intervened and directed the departments of social welfare and health and family welfare to take immediate action. He instructed these departments to ensure that the pending UDID cards for the applicants—Kerehunglungle, Nchayi Kuame, and Keligumbe Hairangbuing—were processed and issued within seven days, with a deadline of May 29.
Successful Issuance of Cards
Following the governor's intervention, the three beneficiaries received their UDID cards on Friday. This timely action has enabled them to access various government welfare schemes, assistance programs, rehabilitation support, and other benefits linked to the UDID system.
Governor's Emphasis on Timely Services
Governor Yadav reiterated the importance of ensuring timely delivery of essential services to persons with disabilities. He directed the concerned departments to continue addressing procedural delays that affect beneficiaries in the district. He also lauded the social welfare and health departments for their prompt response and coordinated efforts in resolving the matter within the stipulated timeframe.
Coordination for Assistive Devices
Additionally, Governor Yadav stated that the departments are coordinating with the Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) to facilitate the required assistive devices and support for the beneficiaries based on their individual needs. This step aims to provide comprehensive assistance beyond the UDID cards.
The governor's proactive approach underscores the commitment to ensuring that persons with disabilities receive the benefits they are entitled to without unnecessary delays.
