President Dr Arif Alvi has re-emphasized on ensuring participation of persons with physical and mental disabilities in all spheres of society as dignified and respected members.

He expressed these views while chairing a meeting on the facilitation of persons with disabilities in Islamabad on Friday.

The President asked the Federal Ministry of Education and Professional Training to come up with a proposal on national curricula for providing targeted and quality education and market-oriented skills to differently-abled people.

The President appreciated NADRA for its outreach for the registration of DAPs across the country and emphasized that NADRA should introduce nationwide user-friendly telephonic information and registration system for differently-abled people and their family members.

He said all government and private sector organizations are duty-bound to provide jobs to DAPs.
