District Disability Rehabilitation Center

A landmark initiative is the establishment of the District Disability Rehabilitation Center (DDRC) at Viladghat, Ahmednagar, in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India. Under the dynamic leadership of Hon. MP Dr. Sujay Vikhe Patil, DDRC serves as a one-stop multidisciplinary center providing free or affordable disability services in rural areas.
The DDRC has successfully implemented key schemes such as the ADIP Scheme (Assistance to Disabled Persons for Purchase/Fitting of Aids and Appliances) and SIPDA, benefiting over 11,200 physically challenged individuals with assistive devices like artificial limbs, orthotics, walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, hearing aids, and smart canes. Regular outreach camps in rural and remote regions ensure last-mile coverage for those with limited access to rehabilitation care.
