disability department is now Divyang
New Delhi: The Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities will now be known as ‘Divyang jan’ Sashaktikaran Vibhag in Hindi, dropping the word ‘viklang jan’ from its previous nomenclature. The development comes nearly five months after Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his radio address ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on December 27, last year, said physically challenged people have a “divine ability” and the term “divyang” should be used in place of “viklang” for them.
