| Summary: | The Persons with Disabilities Act
envisages equal opportunities and full
participation to persons with disabilities.
Yet disabled people continue to be
excluded
and
marginalized.
Mainstreaming the disabled into critical
areas such as employment, education,
livelihood and barrier-free access
remains lacking. The economic
empowerment of people with disabilities
is the key to independent living and
sustainable livelihoods. This paper
examines the possibilities to improve the
living condition of the persons with
disabilities by providing livelihood
oppurtunities & trainings through
intervention
programmes.
The
programmes enabled the participants to
enhance their livelihood through the
income generation activities. The results
of the study reveal that, there is a
remarkable improvement in promotion of
rights and livelihood of Persons with
Disabilities through Community based
Rehabilitation. |
