He emphasized that every challenge in life can be overcome through strong willpower, self-confidence, and persistent effort. The Chief Minister inspired the children to pursue their goals with full confidence and enthusiasm, wishing them a bright future.
CM Dhami observed that every morning, when a person wakes up after sleep, it is akin to a new birth, as they step into a new day. Given this, he makes it a point to visit children and spend time interacting with them on his birthday.
He further noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has undertaken numerous initiatives and formulated various schemes to foster the progress of the children at NIEPVD. Efforts are also underway to empower these differently-abled children in every possible way.
