Separate department for disability affairs
Aarti Dhar
There was a ray of hope for differently-abled people in India on
Monday when President Pratibha Devisingh Patil announced a separate
Department of Disability Affairs in her speech on the first day of the
Budget session of Parliament.The Ministry of Civil Aviation also
decided to review the existing guidelines for persons with special
needs in the wake of a spate of incidents of discrimination faced by
them at airports across the country.
A separate Department of Disability Affairs is proposed to be set up
for greater focus on addressing issues confronting persons with
disabilities and the government is considering a new legislation for
persons with disabilities to replace the existing Act, the President
said in her speech — bringing cheer among the groups working in the
sector. At present, the disability sector is under the Ministry of
Social Justice and Empowerment, and partially under the Ministry of
Health and Family Welfare.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation has also decided to set up a committee
to review the existing guidelines governing the screening process for
differently-abled persons at the airports.
