New Delhi, December 27
The Department of Social Welfare (DSW) has sought suggestions from citizens and other stakeholders for its recently-proposed separate department for persons living with disabilities (PwD).
Soon, the Delhi rules under the new RPwD legislation will also be notified, DSW Minister Rajendra Pal Gautam told The Tribune.
Though the move comes two years after the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016, came into being, it indicates intent on the part of the AAP government towards putting in place an inclusive setting for the differently abled to enable them equitable access to various government schemes and programmes meant for them.
