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.
