A ten years young bed ridden multiple disabled girl (Intellectual Disabled with Cerebral Palsy) was not getting any benefits as her biometric (finger prints and iris scan) was not being captured due to her disability. Asha Ka Jharna contacted her family after distress news of her family was flashed in local dailies. Her father , a daily wage earner had attempted twice in the past but was unsuccessful to pass the doors of Government offices. We persuaded him and brought the child to District Government Hospital Jhunjhunu. We got her disability certificate made as a special case after following up with doctors there (condition of IQ testing at state capital hospital some 200 km away and having long waiting list got bypassed by us). After her certificate of disability was issued, we again contacted Govt AADHAR enrolment agency and requested them to take special permission in this case from higher ups. After much efforts , her biometrics were recorded and sent to Jaipur for approval. Now we will make sure for her disability pension and inclusion of her name in ration card for Public Distribution Scheme benefits.
A classic case of perservence and advocacy by Asha Ka Jharna !
