Now, as we took up the pilot study, welfare workers of the Vazhikattum Thittam identified 7,642 children to be in this age group in Thurinjapuram block. We carried out door-to-door review of all these children and shortlisted 180 children with traces of disability for further screening. Finally, as many as 141 children in the 0-6 age group, including previously identified cases, were found to be have various forms of disability. This is 106 cases more than our previous statistics,”
