 Challenges Faced by Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in India

  • Education

  • Most educational institutions are not accessible, with fewer than 1% being disabled-friendly

  • Facilities like ramps and accessible restrooms are often missing.

  • There are insufficient resources and support mechanisms for PwDs in schools and colleges, leading to limited participation.

  • Although the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 mandates reservations in government jobs and incentives in private jobs, these are poorly implemented.

  • Employment

  • Very few companies, particularly in the private sector, employ PwDs, with most inclusivity seen in public sector companies.

  • Many workplaces lack robust diversity policies and fail to implement legal mandates for PwD employment.

  • There is a need for better enforcement of existing laws and compliance mechanisms for employing PwDs.


Comparison with Other Countries

  • United States

  • Universities like Harvard and Stanford offer comprehensive support for PwDs, including specialized coordinators and resource centers.

  • There are well-established frameworks for accessibility and accommodation in both education and employment.

  • Brazil

  • Companies with over 100 employees must have 2%-5% PwD representation, with fines for non-compliance.

  • There are legal and financial incentives for companies that employ PwDs.

  • Japan

  • The government provides subsidies to employers who hire PwDs, promoting greater workforce participation.

Way Forward

  • Schools and universities need to build and maintain accessible infrastructure and offer dedicated support for PwDs.

  • Develop and enforce uniform guidelines for inclusivity across all educational institutions and workplaces.

  • Establish and enforce strong diversity and inclusion policies in both public and private sectors.

  • Implement compliance mechanisms similar to Brazil and incentives like those in Japan to increase PwD employment rates.

  • Address societal attitudes that stigmatize PwDs by promoting positive representations and equal treatment.

  • Create supportive environments that recognize and address the double or triple burdens faced by PwDs, including those related to caste and gender.
