Officials said Education Minister Arvinder Singh Lovely has asked his department to launch a survey to find out the number of physically challenged students.

“Based on the survey result, the government will firm up a policy to extend all kinds of educational facilities to the physically challenged students,” the officials said.

In a recent episode of the popular TV show, Khan had talked about the difficulties being faced by the physically challenged children in getting admission in general schools in Delhi as well as other cities.
