To provide access to millions of persons with disability (PwD) in rural areas seeking assistive devices and appliances, the Common Services Centers (CSC) has partnered with the Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India (ALIMCO) to register Persons with Disability and senior citizens in remote and inaccessible areas.
ALIMCO, a PSU under the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, and CSC SPV, a Special Purpose Vehicle under the Ministry of Electronics & IT, signed a MOU to utilize around 4 lakh CSCs across the country to register Divyangs and Senior Citizens for distribution of free of cost assistive aids and appliances under various schemes of Government of India such as ADIP , RVY and CSR schemes.
CSC will also help create awareness about ALIMCO and its initiatives and further mobilize and support divyangs and senior citizens to avail assistive aids and appliances under the schemes.
Under the partnership, Divyangjans and Senior Citizens can visit their nearest CSC to get registered for free Assistive Aids and Appliances from ALIMCO.
