From air coolers and water purifiers to upgraded washrooms and nutrition-focused meal plans, the Delhi government has taken steps to improve living conditions in its shelter homes, including Asha Kiran, under the Social Welfare Department.
The Delhi government runs shelter homes for the differently-abled and senior citizens.
An official from the department said that repair and installation work had been completed at the Asha Kiran in Rohini, including the renovation of the park and the provision of toys, sports kits and a television. The facility currently houses around 800 children with special needs.
“We have upgraded basic infrastructure such as air coolers, water purifiers, televisions, indoor games and sports kits. Parks and washrooms are also being renovated to ensure a more comfortable living space,” the official told PTI.
