Since then a number of developments have taken place in this field which include signing of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Person with Disabilities (UNCRPD) by India in October 2007, enactment of Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act 2016 & adoption of National Education Policy 2020 which promotes inclusive education. Keeping in view the above developments, a Committee was constituted under the Secretary, DEPwD and other experts to review the existing National Policy & suggest a new draft National Policy for Persons with Disabilities. The Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities is inviting suggestions from the public on the draft policy. To enable the community at large to give it suggestions, the Enabling Unit of Daulat Ram College is organizing a National level Consultation via zoom on Wednesday, 13th of July, at 10 AM, on the topic "Draft National Policy for Persons with Disabilities". We invite you to participate and give your valuable feedback so that suggestions can be forwarded to the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India.
