Persons with disabilities and their parents struggled to reach to Dhaniakhali Block Level Resource Center from the main road due to a muddy, uneven path that became impassable during rains. The Stretch was about 50-60 meters. The situation was so challenging that some parents even slipped and fell while carrying their children with disabilities to the centre for therapy sessions.
The parents’ group Ashar Alo, formed to support children with disabilities, took the initiative to improve accessibility in their area. They first approached the panchayat to request the construction of a concrete road. However, as the official process was taking longer, they decided to act immediately. Using the map provided by panchayat officials, the group collected materials and jointly built a kachha road. This newly constructed path created a smooth, safe, and accessible entrance for everyone, especially wheelchair users and those with mobility challenges.
