“In spite of this constitutional provision, many of the state governments/UTs are not having separate department of disability for proper implementation of schemes made for the welfare of such people which shows apathy on part of the state governments toward the welfare of PWDs which constitute more than 2.21 per cent of total population,” it said.

“No country or society can ever progress ignoring the needs and aspirations of more than 2.70 crore persons with disabilities,” it said and appealed to the department to impress upon the state governments and UT administrations to have separate disability department to address the concerns, problems of the differently-abled.
