Rights of Differently Abled Persons in India

This book is a part of the National Conference organized by Faculty of Law, Kalinga University. The authors who have contributed the papers in the book have explored different rights of differently abled persons in India. This book covers almost all the aspects of the lives of differently abled persons where they need support from the society as well the government of the Country. In India there is a legislation titled The Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. The Act, which catalogs the rights of people with disabilities in India, was passed by the Parliament of India on December 12, 1995, and notified on February 7, 1996. But there are few categories of disability which are still not included in the legislation and it needs to be worked upon. This book has highlighted the rights which disabled persons have and also highlights the issues which they have been facing due to lack of facilities available in public domain for the persons with disabilities.
