-1INTRODUCTION:
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)
ii)
iii)
iv)
Locomotor disability
Hearing impairment
Mental retardation & mental illness.
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 the 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.
