They play a vital role in human resources development, they tell Centre
A group of 100 disability rights organisations and activists wrote to Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thawarchand Gehlot asking him not to go ahead with the proposed merger and closure of several institutes under the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEPwD).
They said the institutes and regional centres were set up by the government “in pursuit of the country’s commitment towards human resources development in the field of disability, providing rehabilitation services to persons with disabilities and research and development efforts”.
“It defies comprehension why these institutes and their chapters/centres which have and continue to play a vital role in this regard are proposed to be wound up or merged. And this at a time when the categories of recognised disabilities have increased manifold,” they wrote.
