A Decade of Denial
India's seventy million people with disabilities will soon see the tenth year or a decade of the passage of India's Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. The event will only serve as a grim and heart breaking reminder of little that has changed since 1995, when the Act was passed after a pitched political and media campaign.
As the country surges economically, people with disabilities remain on the sidelines fighting individually, hoping for support from the Government.While all this happens, I have decided to make my own small effort to share with the community and users lessons and information on the struggle of disability sector in India.
Let's unite.
