Superstar Salman Khan had started an employment campaign, ‘Veer’ for the specially-abled. The campaign kickstarted on January 26 and has been organised by Khan’s non-governmental organisation ‘Being Human’, soft drink brand Thums-Up, media news channel CNN IBN and American Indian Foundation, to raise awareness about the challenges faced by the specially-abled people, and also address them by providing education, employment, skill training and development and pressing upon the need for specially abled technology.
As per sources, Sallu said at an awareness and fundraising campaign held at a suburban hotel, “This is just the beginning. Just see what happens next. This year 1000 brave people will get employed. I hope next year twice the numbers of people are employed and the number keeps on increasing.”
Salman Khan also matched steps with physically-challenged dancer Shubreet Kaur Ghumman there. Shubhreet, a resident of Sangrur in Punjab, lost her leg in a road accident in 2009.
