#HANDBOOK ON RIGHTS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES
Coming Soon
The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016 came into force with effect from 19 April, 2017.
This new law articulates social, economic, civil and political rights of persons with disabilities and lays down procedures for making them realisable.
More disabilities have been included to be brought under the rights framework and rights to skill development, public employment and inclusive education have been detailed in the act.
For those belonging to the lower socio economic strata provisions for free education, health, pensions, caregiver allowances, aids and appliances and preferential and concessional allotment of land for setting up business ventures as well as an enhanced reservation in poverty alleviation and development schemes made.
In this handbook, important provisions relevant for persons with disabilities and DPO’s have been set chapter wise in a question and answer format.
The handbook draws from the text of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act of 2016.
We hope this handbook will serve as a ready reckoner for lawyers, NGOs, DPOs and activists.
