To ensure the success of this effort, ASHA workers, who will play a key role in the survey, were recently given specialised training at the GD Madgulkar Auditorium in Nigdi.

Conducted under PCMC Commissioner and Administrator Shekhar Singh and Additional Commissioner Pradip Jambhale Patil’s guidance, and led by Deputy Commissioner Mamta Shinde, the training familiarised ASHA workers with methods to identify PwDs, engage with them sensitively, and record their details through a dedicated digital application.
