This was followed by a session on the Types of Disability, facilitated by Hoikim.

The second half of the programme focused on UDID enrolment and follow-up services, providing on-site assistance to persons with disabilities and their families in accessing disability certification and related government benefits.

A total of 38 participants attended the camp. During the programme, 10 persons with disabilities were newly enrolled for UDID, 5 existing UDID records were digitized, and 3 UDID records were updated.

The camp reflects CCI's ongoing commitment to increasing awareness, improving access to government entitlements, and promoting the rights, dignity, and inclusion of persons with disabilities within the community.
