A parliamentary panel has recommended revamping existing schemes for persons with disabilities and formulation of new ones to cover more homeless and destitute PWDs.

The Standing Committee on Social Justice and Empowerment in a report said, “Though there exists a national policy for persons with disabilities (PWDs) since 2006, a large population is not aware of it and the benefit likely to accrue to them due to this policy.”

It has recommended that the Department of Empowerment of Persons in the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment formulate a national policy for PWDs on the lines of the National Policy for Older Persons.
