the disabled people in our country still remain in a political wilderness. A vast number of 40 to 90 millions ou our people are excluded from existing programmes. Studies show that they are poorest of the poor, the most illiterate and shunned society.
the policy process is a political process. Since Independece, the disabled have classified thit other vulnerable and weaker sections of the population of the population such as women, the scheduled caste and sheduled tribes. the other groups have had powerful political lobbie. Dr. Ambedkar for the Dalits, Ghandhiji for the SCc and a very strong political lobby for Women. But the fact is disabled have been left behind.
A recent World Bank report, has reiterated that education and employment of disable people are last on the list of the government expenditures. Over 75% of diabled children oar out of the network of services.
