From charity to community power: Why 2.5 per cent giving model deserves serious adoption

In any society, the true measure of progress lies in how it treats its most vulnerable members. In Jammu and Kashmir, specially-abled children continue to remain on the margins, struggling for access to inclusive education, healthcare, mobility and social acceptance. While there have been policy announcements and occasional welfare drives, the ground reality points to a glaring gap between intention and implementation. Many children with disabilities in the region are unable to attend school, not because of a lack of interest, but due to lack of facilities such as ramps, trained teachers, learning aids and accessible transport. Even in institutions that do admit them, integration is often superficial, with little to no effort made to truly include them in academic or extracurricular activities. Rural areas face even greater challenges, where disability is often misunderstood or stigmatized, and families are left to fend for themselves without adequate medical or psychological support. What is urgently needed is a multi-pronged strategy that includes dedicated special educators in government schools, functional resource centres in every district, and proper training for teachers and parents alike. Sensitisation campaigns should be held regularly to change societal attitudes, and government schemes must be simplified so that families can actually benefit from them. Technology can also play a powerful role, through assistive devices, digital learning platforms, and telehealth services, especially in remote districts. Jammu and Kashmir must ensure that no child is left behind. Every specially-abled child deserves not just sympathy, but opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive. It’s time to move from tokenism to tangible action. Because when we create a society that embraces all its children, we build a future that is truly inclusive and just.
