RANGPUR, July 4, 2020 (BSS) – The disabled and other physically
challenged population should be provided with need-based training
utilising modern technologies to make them self-reliant though income
generating activities (IGAs).

“Without mainstreaming of the disabled population through ensuring
their development, the overall national development and achievement of
the sustainable development goals (SDGs) is not possible,”
Superintendent of Police (SP) Biplob Kumar Sarkar said.

Sarkar viewed this at a function arranged maintaining physical
distance at Paglapeer Autistic and Protibondhi Biddyalaya premises in
Sadar upazila of Rangpur on Saturday afternoon as the chief guest.

He distributed 30 sewing machines among the trained autistic and
disables students of the institution and local disabled people on
behalf of Rangpur District Police to make them self-reliant through
IGAs sitting at their respective homes.

Presided over by Officer-in-Charge of Rangpur Sadar Kotwali police
station ABM Sajedur Rahman, Additional SP (A Circle) Abu Tayeb Md.
Arif Hossain and Assistant SP Md. Ashraful Alam, among others,
