NCRTC Organizes Assistive Aids Distribution Drive for Differently-Abled Individuals Along the Delhi–Meerut Namo Bharat Corridor
Meerut.NCRTC organized an Assistive Aids Distribution Drive at Ghaziabad for differently-abled individuals residing along the Delhi–Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under the Japan Fund for Prosperous and Resilient Asia and the Pacific (JFPR) grant.
The evnt was graced by Shri Shalabh Goel, Managing Director, NCRTC, and Mrs. Namita Mehrotra, Director (Finance), NCRTC, who distributed hand-operated tricycles to around 50 differently-abled beneficiaries. The initiative aims to enhance mobility, accessibility, and independence for persons with disabilities, helping them participate more actively in social and economic activities.
This drive is part of a continuing series of assistive aid and livelihood support initiatives undertaken by NCRTC under the JFPR grant, in collaboration with ADB. Through previous efforts, various mobility aids and entrepreneurial equipment have been distributed to beneficiaries residing along the Namo Bharat corridor, promoting self-reliance, skill development, and social inclusion.
In line with NCRTC’s ‘commuters-first’ approach, the organization has spared no effort to provide a comfortable and seamless regional commuting experience. To facilitate the movement of visually impaired passengers, dedicated tactile paths have been created at the stations. Additionally, special, spacious lifts have been installed to facilitate the movement of stretchers and wheelchairs for medical needs. Multiple lifts and escalators have also been provided to ensure an easy and hassle-free journey for all commuters, especially the elderly, differently-abled individuals, children, and women.
By addressing both mobility and empowerment needs, NCRTC continues to reaffirm its commitment to building an inclusive and equitable transport ecosystem. These initiatives reflect NCRTC’s broader vision of ensuring that Namo Bharat serves as more than just a mode of travel — a catalyst for social progress and community development across the region.
