Have you ever wondered if a child who cannot speak, hear, or learn like others receives the same love, rights and opportunities that other children do?

With this thought, the Yogi Adityanath government has launched a heartfelt campaign across Uttar Pradesh for Children With Special Needs (CWSN).

Led by the Basic Education Department, the initiative includes the distribution of over 15.9 lakh posters highlighting their rights and societal support, along with teacher training, parental engagement, and community outreach.

Since the campaign's launch, posters have been displayed across all 75 districts at primary and upper primary schools, panchayat buildings, CHCs/PHCs, child development centres, and ASHA centres.

Posters are being distributed across 1,32,716 government and aided schools. Each school has received one set containing six posters, each conveying positive messages promoting inclusive education and sensitivity towards disability.
