Most of the families do not have adequate facilities to bring up their disabled children due to
poverty. As such the responsibility has been delegated to the Government and the NGOs to take
care and support the disabled. However there are no state rehabilitation facilities for the
disabled in the NP though there are some, which are run by the voluntary organizations.
These homes are run with the supervision of the Social Service Officers on whose
recommendation maintenance as well as an Ad. Hoc grant is provided. The maintenance grant
is paid at the rate of Rs.500/- per person on a monthly basis. Ad hoc grant is given forequipping and maintaining facilities with the homes receiving a maximum of Rs. 115,000/-per year. (See Annexure VII for detailed breakdown)

ADMINISTRATION REPORT 2009 8
The department has been appealing to the voluntary organizations that can afford to set more
elders homes in order to cater for the large numbers that need the services of the homes.
However the assistance provided by the Government to these voluntary organizations is not
adequate to enable them admit more people in the existing homes. Nevertheless the department
spent more than Rs. 3,020,062.00 as maintenance grant to the elders homes and the number ofelders who benefited out of this money was 239. The maintenance grant for the elders isnormally paid at the rate of Rs. 500/- per person per month. See Annexure IX detailedbreakdown.
5.7 CELEBRATIONSThe department gave fund to each divisional secretariat in order to organize the International
Elders Day and the Disabled Day celebrations in their respective divisions. Various
competitions were organized for the school children with awards being presented at functions
organized at various divisional secretariats. The provincial Elders day was celebrated in Jaffna
with the collaboration of the District Secretariat.

given we are able to provide our services to vulnerable in time.
6.1 SPECIAL ACTIVITIESIn 2009, the Northern Province had to face several unexpected challenges such as massive
displacement and resettlement. Department of Social Services took several measures to cater
these challenges.
As there was a great displacement during the midterm of this year we had to take actions to
provide special services to the IDPs.

programmes in the department, it is still not adequate to meet the demand for most of the social
development programmes being carried out by the department.
There are some common issues in the Department of Social Services:
The major issue effecting the Department of Social Services is no strengthening District level
office. Because of this it is very difficult to ensure, the services reach the suitable persons.
Disable people need special arrangements to fulfil their activities like normal people. But in
