Rahul Gandhi visited the Kirti Nagar Furniture Market in Delhi on September 28. During his visit, he interacted with the workers and carpenters in the furniture market area. He also participated in a session with them, making the desks, chairs, and some tables with the carpenters in the market.
Lovely, in his statement, said that there could not have been better brand ambassadors than the students of this school to spread the message of love.
According to news agency IANS, Babaria said that there was a time when differently abled individuals were considered a burden in society. However, this perspective has changed as people's attitudes towards such children have shifted. Given proper care and education, the physically challenged could also make a mark in every field.
He also appreciated the efforts of those behind the successful functioning of the school, noting that the feeling of mental satisfaction in running such an organization was greater than anything else.
