Message from HCPA President
Addressing the gathering, HCPA President Ashok Verma emphasized the need for greater community involvement in supporting persons with Cerebral Palsy and multiple disabilities.
He stated:
“I strongly feel that more and more people should come forward for the welfare of persons suffering from Cerebral Palsy and multiple disabilities. I appeal to citizens, social organisations and corporates to extend their support to institutions working for disabled adults with Cerebral Palsy and multiple disabilities, as this area is still largely neglected by society.”
He highlighted that parents of such individuals often worry about their children’s future, particularly when they are no longer able to care for them. Therefore, institutions like HCPA must receive stronger support from society and corporate organizations.
Future Vision and Long-Term Support
Ashok Verma also explained HCPA’s future plans, which focus on creating long-term care and support systems for adults with disabilities, especially those living with Cerebral Palsy and other multiple disabilities.
The organization continues to work towards building sustainable care facilities and support structures that ensure dignity, security, and a better quality of life for special adults.

- Dr. Sushil Kumar – Vice President
- Sh. K. K. Nangia – Vice President
- Sh. Ramesh Kumar Narang – Secretary
- Sh. R. K. Nangia – Joint Secretary

Their continued dedication plays an important role in the development of Sneh Kunj and in providing care and opportunities for special children and adults.
A Memorable Milestone
