Rs. 70 a day for children with hearing impairments!

A mere Rs. 70 a day allowance is given for those who show exceptional abilities at schools for children with hearing impairments, according to their parents.

The allowance is wholly inadequate to serve the daily requirements
of the children who undergo residential education.

The present government raised the allowance to Rs. 70, which previously was only Rs. 50 a day.

Parents seek an immediate increase in the allowance as the children’s expenses increase by the day.

They also want tax concessions given for the children’s hearing equipment.
