Discussions will focus on access to basic amenities, protection of constitutional and human rights, social justice, inclusive development, and ensuring a life of dignity for all sections of society.
The Forum will also introduce a community welfare project aimed at supporting physically challenged and specially abled persons from economically weaker sections across the State.
