Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again appealed the nation to call the differently-abled people as `Divyang’ instead of `Vikalang’. Modi was speaking at a function in Varasani organized for distribution of reliefs to the impaired. More than 25000 apparatus such as wheel chairs and hearing implants would be distributed in this occasion. Ministry for Social Justice and Empowerment has reportedly written to the Guinness Book of World Records to recognize this even as one of the largest of its kind. Earlier the Prime Minister has flagged off the `Mahamana express’ between Varanasi and New Delhi. This superfast express is said to be fully equipped with modern facilities and bio toilets. Varanasi happens to be the constituency of Narendra Modi from where he has won the 2014 Lok Sabha elections with a huge majority.
