INTRODUCTION:

Disability is defined as a lack of ability to perform an activity in the manner considered

normal for a human being. It is estimated that 5% population (approx) suffer from one

or other form of disability. Malnutrition, lack of hygiene and inadequate/delay in medical

services, infectious diseases, accidents, etc. may cause impairment leading to disability.

For rehabilitation of such persons, the appropriate services need to be widely available.

The disability has been broadly grouped as :

i) Locomotor disability

ii) Hearing impairment

iii) Mental retardation & mental illness.

iv) Blindness or low vision.

The Government, NGOs and civil society institutions have been providing services to the

persons with disabilities since long, but these efforts have gained momentum since 1970’s

when the decade was marked by a new approach to disability with the concept of “Rights

for Disabled Persons”. The United Nations took the lead and issued declarations relating

to Rights to the Disabled Persons (1975). The decade 1983-92 was declared as the

“Decade of the Disabled Persons”. This was followed by the “Asia and Pacific Decade of

Disabled Persons” (1993-2002). The standard rules for the equalization of opportunities

for persons with disabilities were adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1993.

Since 1970, Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Govt. of India has established

several Institutions to train professionals/manpower in the field of rehabilitation. There

are four National Institutes viz. National Institute for the Orthopaedically Handicapped

at Kolkata, AYJ National Institute for the Hearing Handicapped at Mumbai, National

Institute for the Visually Handicapped at Dehradun, National Institute for the Mentally

Handicapped at Secunderabad and two apex Institute, viz., Swami Vivekanand National

Institute of Rehabilitation Training and Research at Cuttack and Pt.Deen Dayal

Upadhyaya Institute for the Physically Handicapped at New Delhi.

These Institutes are conducting training programs at Diploma, Degree and Postgraduate

level in their respective disciplines. The Institutes also carry out research; develop models

of rehabilitation services, manpower development, and clinical & therapeutic services.

They also have extensive outreach programs so that services are available in a

decentralized manner. Over the years, the Institutes have trained thousands of

professionals who are working all over the Country and abroad. In addition to above, the

Ministry has also established Composite Regional Centres, District Disability

Rehabilitation Centres, supporting to voluntary action programs and National Program

of Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities under state sector scheme. For further

information website: http://www.socialjustice.nic.in may be visited.
