FCCI wants underutilised funds diverted to NGOs

Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI) President Dr. Khurram Tariq said on Wednesday that underutilized or “ignored” government resources reserved for the betterment of the differently-abled persons might be diverted to those non-governmental organisations (NGOs) which had been working for the welfare of physically challenged students. He expressed these views during a visit to the main campus of the Tanzeem-al-Lissan, which is working exclusively for the education of deaf and dumb children. Citing from the statistics, he said that about 10 percent of the country’s population suffered from different types of disabilities. He said the government institutions were working for the education of differently-abled persons, but the private sector was also sharing their load by establishing institutions for the children with different predicaments.
