At Lok Utsav 2025, blind and disabled entrepreneurs have set up stalls despite facing financial hardships due to a delay in their monthly government assistance for three months. Despite their challenges, they have paid ₹8,000 for stall space, striving to sustain their livelihood.
A particularly inspiring story is that of a young woman from the Scheduled Tribe (ST) community who was denied a government job despite applying. Refusing to give up, she started her own business, demonstrating resilience and determination.
The situation raises concerns about the need for better government support for persons with disabilities. Citizens are urging authorities to ensure timely financial assistance and provide adequate opportunities for self-reliance.
