Urging people to create awareness on autism, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said recently that the state will soon have a world-class township near Kolkata, where people suffering from the disorder will receive training, treatment, and boarding facilities. 

The centre, a first of its kind in India, is expected to have housing facilities for 350 residents and a daycare centre for over 200 children, adolescents, and adults, according to a state government official. "Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay. We must create more awareness about autism among the people. You will be happy to know that a world-class autism township is coming up near #Kolkata, where autistic children and adults will receive training, treatment, and boarding facilities," the CM tweeted.

 World Autism Awareness Day is observed every year on April 2 to generate awareness on the developmental disorder. The theme for this year is "Assistive Technologies, Active Participation."
