On September 4, 2023, Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu inaugurated the Mukhya Mantri Sporting Abilities, Rebuilding Aspirations and Livelihood Scheme (SABAL) at Nadaun in the Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh.
The goal of SABAL Yojana is to improve the lives of differently-abled children by connecting them to the mainstream of society.
Around 400 schools in Hamirpur, Solan, and Shimla districts will get government aid, which will include necessary facilities and opportunities for specially-abled children.
A 2% reservation quota has been allotted in government jobs for specially-abled persons.
The education stipend for disabled children will be increased to Rs.1000.
The Himachal Pradesh government aims to empower over 7,000 specially-abled children through the SABAL scheme.
