The government’s Assistance to Disabled Persons for Purchase/Fitting of Aids and Appliances (ADIP) scheme has introduced an online application process to aid individuals with hearing disabilities in obtaining free aids and appliances.

Civil surgeon Hitinder Kaur emphasized the scheme’s significance for those experiencing hearing impairments but facing financial constraints that prevent them from affording costly hearing devices. Kaur urged eligible individuals to make use of this opportunity.
The application procedure entails beneficiaries providing their information via online submission through either the district hospital’s ENT specialist or the special educator stationed at the DISC centre on regular working days. For online application, applicants must ensure possession of necessary documents, including a photograph, Aadhaar card, caste certificate, proof of income (below ₹30,000 per month, verified through a ration card or income certificate), disability certificate, and crucial medical reports pertaining to ear-related conditions.
