(a)  to  (c) The  Government  enacted  Rights  of  Persons  with  Disabilities  (RPwD)  Act,  2016 which came into force on 19.04.2017. The no. of disabilities has been increased from 7 to 21. The said Act provides rights and entitlements to Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), which, interalia, include right to equality, non-discrimination, protection from cruelty, exploitation, right to live with family and community, access to justice, accessibility in voting, legal capacity, legal guardianship, health, education, employment, skill development, arts, sports, recreation, culture and participation in decision making process.

Section 34 of the said Act provides for 4 % reservation in the government employment to the  persons  with  benchmark  (40%  or  above)  disabilities.  Further,  Section  32  of  the  said  Act provides 5% reservation in government or government aided higher educational institutions for persons  with  benchmark  disabilities.  Furthermore,  Section  37  of  the  said  Act  ensures  5% reservation  in  poverty  alleviation  and  developmental  schemes  to  persons  with  bench  mark disabilities.

Though, relief to the disabled is a State subject by virtue of entry 9 of the State List of the Constitution of India, the Central Government supplements the efforts of the State Governments, regarding  educational  and  employment  based  support,  through  its  major  schemes  namely Deendayal  Divyangjan  Rehabilitation  Scheme  (DDRS),  Scholarship  Schemes  and  National Action Plan for Skill Development of Persons with Disabilities.

(i) Deendayal Divyangjan Rehabilitation Scheme (DDRS):Under the Deendayal Divyangjan Rehabilitation Scheme (DDRS), financial assistance is provided to the voluntary Organizations for running various projects for the welfare/empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) including  Special  School  for  the   Children  with  Visual,  Hearing  and  Intellectual  disability including  Children with Cerebral Palsy etc., aimed at enabling them to maintain their optimal, physical, sensory, intellectual, psychiatric or social functional levels.

(iii) National Action Plan for Skill  Development  (NAP-SDP) : The Department of Empowerment  of  Persons  with  Disabilities  launched  the  National  Action  Plan  for  Skill Development of PwDs (NAP-SDP) in 2015 to enhance skills, employability, and self-reliance among PwDs aged 15-59 years through training provided by empanelled Government and NonGovernment Organizations  nationwide.

NAP-SDP Scheme is a Central Sector Scheme, under which fund is not given to State/UT directly.  Further,  it  is  a  demand  driven  scheme.  Funds  under  the  scheme  are  released  to empanelled  organizations  from  across  the  Country  on  the  basis  of  their  demands/proposals. There is no separate budgetary allocation. Fund is notionally allocated for NAP from budgetary provisions.
