Actually, on Friday, 20 May, a program was organized for President Draupadi Murmu inside NIEPVD (National Institute for the Empowerment of Persons with Visual Disabilities) in the capital Dehradun. On this occasion, the children of NIEPVD sang in front of the President, then suddenly President Draupadi Murmu became emotional and she could not stop her tears.
When the children sang a song from Aamir Khan’s film Tare Zameen Par in Dehradun NIEPVD, everyone sitting on the stage along with the President were mesmerized. At the end of the song, tears started flowing from the eyes of President Draupadi Murmu. But as soon as the children gave a presentation congratulating the President on his birthday, President Draupadi Murmu could not stop herself and started crying on the stage.
Seeing President Draupadi Murmu getting emotional, the security personnel standing behind gave her a handkerchief. Seeing the program of the disabled children, not only the President, but Union Minister Virendra Kumar and Governor Gurmeet Singh, who were present on the stage, also got emotional. All these are children who cannot see properly. The President also honored them by putting glasses on their eyes.
The President said in his address that he is very impressed by the talent of these children.
The way we are working for the disabled, a living example of this can be seen in Dehradun. I am very happy to be here on the occasion of my birthday. When I was watching the children singing, tears were not stopping from my eyes. These children were singing from their heart, not from their throat. I feel that Saraswati is sitting in their throat. It is said that if God gives any deficiency in someone’s body part, then he gives him such a talent which makes him different from others.

At the same time, the President said in his address that the way the disabled are treated in the society shows how that country or society is progressing. Indian culture is full of incidents of sensitivity. Compassion and love have been at the forefront of the country’s civilization. The President said that in the National Education Policy 2020, there is a provision for disabled children to get good education opportunities like other children.
