Of the Rs 14 crore earmarked for the welfare of the disabled, a mere Rs 4 crore has been put to use so far
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation’s (PCMC) annual quota of funds for welfare schemes for the disabled has remained largely unused owing to the civic body’s apathy regarding its proper and timely implementation. The benefits from most of these schemes are yet to percolate down a majority of the differently abled residents of the twin township. In the last five years, the civic body made provisions of around Rs 14 crore for welfare schemes for the disabled, but in reality, just a fraction of the amount, a sum of just Rs 4 crore has been utilised.
