Disabled persons face several obstacles in all spheres of life. Persons with disability are the marginalized groups, who are socially, educationally and economically disadvantaged. Especially in case of Children with Disability (CWD) they struggle hard even to complete formal primary education. The Department of Social Justice is bound to guarantee access to a quality inclusive education for all children with disabilities.

As a motivation and helping hand for such target groups, The Department has devised a new scheme called Vijayamritham which provides onetime cash award to meritorious differently abled students who have secured high marks in Degree/ Equivalent courses, Post-Graduation/ Professional Courses equivalent to PG. Through this scheme, the department aims to mainstream the Children with Disabilities and create awareness among them on their fundamental rights.

As a token of appreciation, Certificates and Memento will be presented to the selected students.
