Disability assessment camp requires IDs

An assessment camp for disabled children who attend government schools run by the Samagra Shiksha integrated scheme for education in the Indian state of Telagana required eligible children to bring with them a state government-issued disability certificate indicating a more than 40% disability, two passport-sized photographs showing their disability, and a Unique Disability ID card or receipt for applying for one. Those without a certificate or ID card were asked to bring instead a disability certificate from a government doctor, an Aadhaar card, and an income certificate or ration card. Doctors would then examine the children, identify the aids they needed, manufacture them, and distribute them at another camp.
