KORAPUT: The District Disability Rehabilitation Centre (DDRC) at Koraput is facing financial crunch after successfully providing physiotherapy and occupational therapy to thousands of patients from rural and urban areas of the region for the last seven years . The centre which was established at Koraput in 2000 with the initiative of the district administration has so far extended 7511 camp services, provided assisting devices to 3,295 beneficiaries and had trained 1,521 persons to extend their services in unserved areas of the district. The institution, since its inception, had been receiving financial support from Deendayal Rehabilitation Scheme of the Ministry of Social Justice &Empowerment for providing comprehensive service to persons with disabilities. However there was a precondition attached to the assistance that the district authorities needed to explore and generate their own funding source to maintain the centre within three years . As per the guidelines the Central Government has started tapering its assistance by 10 per cent from 2004 leading to a 20 per cent cut in fund allocation in the financial year 2006-07. The institution has been managing differential amount from revolving fund of Rs.3 lakhs kept with centre.
