These awards strengthen our resolve to enlarge the scope of our efforts,” said Mahantesh GK, chairman of Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled.

Veeresh Kivadasannavar said that “we could do much as we have database of differently abled in the district and we keep in touch with them. Our Covid help campaign went beyond the differently abled.
