"Happy to be part of the Seminar. It was a great and well communicating presentation by Dr. Kalpana. Kindly take measures to publicize regarding this Noble venture through newspapers and media. We had informed the parents of differently abled children visiting our instiute via our WhatsApp group. Other than DCPUs, I feel Special Schools, Block Resource Centres, Buds Special Schools should also be roped in for pan Kerala communication through NIDAS. Wishing NIDAS team a great success in future endeavors"
