“Assistive technologies such as wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs are more than tools; they symbolize independence and dignity,” said the CM. “We are committed to creating a society where everyone has equal opportunities,” he added.

Children with disabilities presented touching performances, including one honoring the Pakistan Armed Forces. Artworks created by these children, featuring portraits of Benazir Bhutto and the CM, were also displayed and gifted to the CM.

Murad announced several initiatives, including an increase in the DEPD’s budget to Rs 800 million for the next fiscal year. He mentioned the establishment of 20 new centers in collaboration with non-governmental organizations and the enhancement of capacity in 15 existing centers. Additionally, plans are underway to open 12 autism centers by year-end, with at least one in each district.

Highlighting educational initiatives, the CM mentioned the establishment of a separate directorate to ensure the enrollment of children with disabilities in mainstream schools, along with a specialized curriculum. He emphasized the installation of wheelchair ramps in all government buildings.

“We have made progress, but much remains to be done,” Murad acknowledged. He praised partner organizations for their pivotal role and stressed the importance of continued collaboration for lasting change.

“Inclusion, accessibility, and dignity are not privileges but rights,” the CM concluded. “Together with our partners, we are striving to build a more compassionate society.”
