After the puja, the Chief Minister himself distributed prasad to all the children. He took the children in his lap, caressed them, talked and enquired about their studies. Children from Raipur’s Government School for the Visually and Hearing Impaired, Mathpuraina and Mana’s Asthmadhit Balgrih and Multi-Disabled Balgrih participated in the Krishna Janmashtami program organized at the Chief Minister’s residence.
Sai made the auspicious day special for these children by sharing it with them.

Like other children of the state, these children are also an integral part of the society. They are always committed to their better upbringing, education and making them self-reliant.
